i have a ton of pix . from the point of the build of the frame. but i wont bore u with them. this is were i’m at right now.
i started today around noon time , with a freshly powder coated frame and this where i ended to night…
let me know what ya think???
that sucked. i could only post 4 in one reply. so here’s the rest.
Looks like it’s going to be pretty badass :thumb
YUP!! hopefully the customer wont ruin it to be once he gets it back.
but it’s kind of like money in the bank with off road vehicles :nod
Harold if you upload them to the gallery, you’re unlimited in the amount to post in one reply :tong
That is looking awesome by the way, great work as usual :thumb
kewl…
thanks!!!
Who decided on the powder coat color?
Thats pretty sick. I love the choice of color for the frame :thumb
well here’s the deal with that. long story. i had frame galvanized and then brought back to have our local powder coater do it. i was told 2 wks. that is in the begining of oct. i got it back new years eve!!!??
the color orginall was supposed to be grany smith green ( flip flop color) with
a glow in the dark agent added to the color. so it would glow in the dark of course…
well the pc guys took so long the customer was going nuts. and went to talk to them well. the talked him out of the glow in the dark agent which with the color choice would of matched the body almost perfect. but with out the glow in the dark agent colors r way different…
the glow in the dark sample looks wild. it hardly ever see’s sun light. but when i shut the lights off u can find it…
so long story short they fahked up the frame ( a ton of imperfections) and it’s just granny smith green now… the pc looks great from 3ft away but if u get close to it u can see a bunch of bubbles in the clear on it. I MEAN A LOT OF BUBBLES!!
they also told customer there was absolutely nothing they could do for him. and charged him full price. out of 18 parts pc’ed the frame was the only one that got screwed up.
welp i’m off to the shop. it’s boring at home.
mo fun in the shop!!!
sorry to hear about your PC problems, i’ve had some things done locally and they came out flawless yet it took forever. good luck with everything
i’ve had quite few things done. with this company. and been happy for the most part.
there’s been a few small things here and there but this expected with the amount of stuff i do. i was just lil pissed that out of 16 or 18 things i brought them. the only one to get screwed up was the frame and they wouldn’t even cut the guy a deal…
i mean the customer was upset but like he said it’s a wheelin truck not a show truck.
but u still need to make sheet right. thats all i was getting at…
that think looks badass, I cannot wait to see the finished product.
-Jason, who really wishes he knew how to weld
powdertech?
i wont openly throw any one under the bus… it has to bee pretty bad for me to do that. but like i said it was a local co.
well it’s finally move along quite nicely. i’ll post up some new px tomorrow when i get home.
ran all the electrical. s.s fuel and return line, s.s brake lines today. just need to put all new ebrake cables on tomorrow and the chassis is all buttoned up.
except for the need to order new front drive shaft. old one is just a wee bit too short with spring shackle reversal kit. no need to take any chances.
wheeled body out tonight b4 i left and put up on stands. neeed to reapir 2 body mounts. 1 ripped out and 1 that sum one at sum point tried to repair with a bubble gum welder :wtf…
this weekend paint guy is coming to do sum touch to the the body. then it goes back
on. then at all that is left is just finall hook up brake and clutch bleed. and last but not least i need to fab up a new battery box…
OH that is beacuz with the addition of the 12,000lb warn under full load will completely drain the 1 batt and then not only will he be stuck but stalled too.lol
so it’s getting 2 batts.
