Nvrtolo4me's Dime

well thought i would bring you guys up to speed on what i have been working on for the last couple years


here is my 88 dime as she sat at the end of the 05 show season

and off to the body shop




After Getting Stripped

Update 1/11/06

here are some update pics from today. most just body work welded up some hole in the jams from when it was rust proofed. filled in the seams on the cab by the doors and the big seam that runs along the back of the cab. also fixed were my dad filled the hole when he took the lund visor off.

well here are some updates fianlly had time to go work on it so i started to remove anything from under the hood to start shaving and installing the front fenders






here is a pic of the tub kit i ordered from jason (suicidedoors.com)

well here is the frame where it all begins






-first up is to strip the frame of everything
-then i will be cutting out of all of the rear suspension (new setup coming)
-then the frame will be sand blasted
-then the painting and chroming

well now that i have some space to work work has begun on my dime again.

starting cutting out all the old rear setup to make way for the new.



that is all i got done today before i ate thru the only grinding disk i had. i will be making a trip to home depot tonight and working on it again tomorrow. mainly i'm just waiting for the new motor to get here so i can put the small block in the frame so the cab can be put back on to see where the fire wall will need to be cut to make room for the bigger motor. hope to have everything mocked up in the next couple of weeks so it can be tore back down to preped for paint. should have paint on it by mid to end of july

well here are a couple pics of the rear setup still need to cut out the frame and get some longer bolt to bolt up the rear end bracket but this is all just mocked up for now.

well finally took some time to work on the dime so i thought i would drop some updates on you guys
