I'm jealous... my oldest is still taking her own diaper off and twirling it around over her head while chasing the dog through the house. Potty training is tough. Thanks, keeping a consistent gap was a bit of a challenge.

Prerunner bar is on, but I'm concerned that its too small:

Thought I'd be done w/ fab after the rear bumper, but a buddy sent me this:

 

[HortonHiresAHoe]

So, my original thought was to put tow hooks/hoops in the center section... the more I look at it the more I like it clean. Any suggestions?

 

[xanatost]

Man it's too dam nice to put hooks or anything else on there! The only thing that it needs a better bar on there. It does look a little small on there. If you build a rear bumper like the one in the pick.....PLEASE SEND ME A COPIE OF THE FILE!!!!

I like the tack weld look. Its Mad Max like!

Thanks! I thought the same thing about the bar at first but its grown on me. Just to clarify, the bumper I plan to build is in my 1st post... those are step rails in the above pic.

Yeah, but I wouldn't trust it if I ever need to use it as a bumper

Looking like this, it sure feels that I'm going backward...

 

[Neil Layne]

i bet it seems like you are going backwards until you open the door. haha, once all the paint is done that will be one good looking obs. are you getting the bumper to match the paint or are you doing it in rhino lining or something like that? you did a fantastic job making that. you did this rebuild right.

and if you didn't get those nfab steps id be disappointed.

 

[HortonHiresAHoe]

Thanks man, i hope so. Yes, the bumper will be painted to match and I will be building a set of steps similar to those, but will be putting my own touches on them (just have to figure that part out)

 

[Neil Layne]

well keep the pictures coming, its fun to watch.

 

[HortonHiresAHoe]

Will do!

 

[Bryantkglass]

This thing looks it came out of my dreams! Do you have anymore pics of the interior? Mainly the dash and front seats. Also if you don't mind me asking how much did the interior set you back? I'd eventually like to do something like this with my interior just not as extreme of a sound system and maybe a different color. I can't wait to see this finished!

 

[HortonHiresAHoe]

Thanks man, I'll take some more pics when it gets back from paint. I went a lil over budget... could've picked up a couple fairly clean 2dr's for what I have in the interior.

Welded, smoothed & heading to join the truck @ the paint shop...

 

[Bryantkglass]

I love the GTO seats btw. Don't mean to copy you but that's definitely gonna happen in the future for mine!

 

[HortonHiresAHoe]

If those of you who requested the cad file of the bumper would pm me your email address, I'll send it out if you still want it.

 

[HortonHiresAHoe]

Gotta finish a couple more things tomorrow and I'll add more pics

 

[Donnie Yukonie]

That looks sweet man Cant wait to see more !

 

[HortonHiresAHoe]

Thanks, it's getting closer...

 

[Goodinblack]

Love it ^^^^

 

[HortonHiresAHoe]

The light bars are in...
