75 Dually Project - 22s and stylin

Da - Work has been really busy lately, but that is a good thing... Should be getting back in the shop very soon and continuing the work on my ride.

Stay tuned!

So we just got back from spring break this weekend. Had a great time with the family, but now it is time to concentrate on the truck for a couple of days!

Didn't get much done this evening, however I was able to work on the drivers side front fender some. So I got rid of the old vinyl stripe and kept metal working the small dents out. I wanted to lay a first coat of primer on it but the sun went down and that was that...

Stay tuned...

Long time no work on my dually! No excuses, I have been dirt bike riding and traveling for work a ton lately. So that takes up all my free time.

Tonight I actually got back into the shop. I did one of the projects that I have been dreading, the air ride valve... I got the replacement valve a couple of months ago and it has been sitting in it's box ever since. So I pulled it out and exchanged it for the old valve. Some small hassles but they were minor, and now we should be up and running. I kept the factory adjustable outlet swivels. They allow me to trim the air down and have better control over how fast I want a particular bag to raise. This should help me fine tune the system.

We are going to lay down some primer on the panels that are finished and ready. Every time lately I have gone out to spray we have either have had rain (weird for West Texas) or the winds have kicked up. Hopefully Saturday will be semi calm and we can get some work done. I have continued to do some of the body work when time permitted, so I wasn't totally abandoning my project.

Stay tuned! <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif" alt=":D" title="Very Happy" />

Finally got some primer on the drivers front fender. Still have some additional bodywork to complete on it, but it is coming along.

Bolted it up to check fitment. The gaps are horrible. So it looks like once I get all the bodywork completed I will spend endless days working on the gaps. Ah well if it was easy...

Glad to see you're back at it!

Thanks man! I've needed lots of quality time with the dirt bikes lately, but I know the truck was needing tons of attention to get it closer to being finished so it is back to the shop!

I did drag the truck out last weekend to go to a local show. It was just down the street from the house. So we threw it on the trailer to see what the locals thought. Fun stuff!

For those of you who have been following along on this build you know how far this truck has come, and I only feel it is half way! Ah well back to the grind stone!

Damn that thing looks good out in the sunlight. Its a total different monster when most of the pieces are together.

Good job!

Thanks man! It was good for it to get some sunlight.

I'm still here, but have had little time to work on the truck lately. Hopefully I will get some time this weekend to get back on the body work.

Stay tuned!
