^ must have been after a "smoke break" after lunch.

Oh, I'm pretty sure there would be some valid reason!

It doesn't matter.....it's gonna be purdy when I'm done with it

Once the frame is painted you won"t want to cover it up with things like suspension, the cab and bed, etc.....

This is incredible, talk about attention to detail, awesome Duncan!

Thanks Roy...but remember...no paint...powdercoat or dryfilm....well, ok, there might be one or two things (like U-Joint spiders) that will have to be painted.

Ahh, got it!

 

[DNFXDLI]

Ahh, got it!

It is the one bad thing about powder.....makes it pretty damn near impossible to fix unless you get it right the first time.

I have fully accepted that I'm sure there will be things I've missed and I'm just going to have to deal with it.

Got a call back from the spring shop today and it sounds like they are willing to work with me on getting each leaf dryfilmed and then taking them back to the spring company for assembly.
So they will build the spring pack, I will go and pick them up and take them for the dryfilm and then return them to the spring place...we will see.

That's cool that they will work with you. That's one of the things I wish I would have done in the first place was to take apart my springs and have them finished off.

Thanks Buck, I hope it works out.

It would be kinda cool someday when my sons get the keys to their dents and become members on FTF and say, my dad was a member when Duncan was working on the frame waaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy back then.....and now he's working on the trim and should be done by 2035ish.
