Great pic and a very nice project! :thumbup: |
Love the rear with those fat tires!
|
While building this truck, I wanted to make sure that I could park it inside my security fence and close the gate
 Thats got to be at least a 1/4" to spare!  Also got some work done on the drivers side   http://www.BenModified.com |
Finished the drivers side cab corner and under cab area
 Started smoothing off the hundreds of tack welds on the headlight filler panels.   http://www.BenModified.com |
Progress. Welded up the cut in the door and removed the alignment clamps
    Also made some progress on the drivers side bed side and engine vents. Welded in the mounting strips and grafted in the vents but still have lots of tack welds and grinding to go.       http://www.BenModified.com |

hahaha that is really awesome!

Thanks! I am not completely happy with the engine venting so I am trying something that looks a bit more aggressive. I split a piece of 3" exhaust tubing and starting building a scoop for each side. The front section will be permanently mounted and the rear section will be mounted with dzus fasteners for access.  The flat panels are butt welded in...took forever     http://www.BenModified.com |
The turnlights :eek: Are they even legal?

They sure are! |

Great workmanship on the scoop, but not sure about the look.
|
I like it, it flows well with al the other curves
|
Nice upgrade, put some nice flames on the side :D
|
Got started on the Engine Cover/Hood today. The plan is to make it look very similar to the roof on the cab

looks already really good, the bending you did is amazing! What did you use to get the nice curves in the metal, a steel pipe?

Thanks! The rough curves in the center section were made with a piece of 3" exhaust tubing. The rear section was shaped with a round plastic hammer and sand bag and then run thru an english wheel to make the compound curve. Once the rear section is completely welded in I will use the english wheel on the center section to smooth the rough bends and tighten up the large expanse by giving it the same slight egg shape that the roof has for strength.   Welded up most of the rear section but still need to fill the corners, weld the underside and smooth    |
NICE!, i wasn't expecting an enginecover at all
