_Matt Posted August 3, 2015 Author Share Posted August 3, 2015 Thank you, it's not progressing as quickly as I would like it to though haha. We did think about the bag mounts being parallel, they were off by about 5-10mm I think. Wasn't enough angle to worry about. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xygtho Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 I'll confess, I'm not a great Chev fan. But your truck is fucking Ace. It reminds me of the truck in the Queens of the Stone Age clip 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cletus Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 Nice work! what is your method for filling the small holes in the firewall? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The really small ones (2-3mm ish) I just clamped some brass behind them and filled them with filler wire. Then the slightly larger ones I cut slivers off 6, 8 and 10mm rod to the thickness of the firewall, and just drilled out the holes slightly to suit whichever size of rod was the closest. Was doing 4 tacks around and then hammer/dolly, another 4 tacks, hammer/dolly again, then depending on the size maybe anther few tacks. Once they're tacked closely I'd weld about 5-10mm and then hammer/dolly, weld a bit more on the opposite side from the previous weld, hammer/dolly etc. Don't know if it's the correct way to do it, but it seemed to work alright. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seedy Al Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 I had not thought of ever doing the bigger ones that way. But makes perfect sense! No wonder your over it tho haha. What an epic undertaking. I really like what you have done to strengthen the brake booster Fucking bad ass 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a.craw4d Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 I'm so sorry I have only just found this build. Amazing work so far, I absolutely love this build. It's the kind of project I'd love to do one day. Keep up the good work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
