Saved another, check it out

[HGM]

Once again Nick, you give me hope!!! I'm working my way towards the rear of mine and keep looking at the decent donor rear section I have, wondering if I could just splice the whole sides in.. From this build, I'm thinking it may be something I can tackle... Came out great!!

HGM. key words are: measure, test fit and patience. lots of each are needed in various order.
thx

Hey Tim in AZ. I think Nick is holding out on us. He doesn't want to give up his super secret mirror source.

 

[bowhunter]

Nick....you do great work my friend!

You do, however, have some questions to answer; when are you going to make your battery hold-down, fan shrouds and under hood elec storage boxes available to the public? Also, talk to me about those mirrors!!??!! Do you do them, or do I remember seeing someone else posting them up here a while back. We (the public) need something exactly like that, but would retrofit the stock mirror mounting holes.....so, those of us who have already finished body and paint work don't have to fret!

Once again, NICE!

Your friend....Dale

thanks dale. i can't give all my trix up now...
the mirror mounts came from that prototype mass buy a couple years ago. i finally put them to use with some carbon mirrors. i wanted to give an aircraft feel in many of the details for this build and it fit they bill here.

Very nice. The bar has been set high my friend.

 

[trailpsycho]

Very nice!

Never seen one cut apart that far and come back to wheel again and the trix are awesome! D

 

[fordguy]

Nice job for sure on that truck Nick! If I make it to the Super Celebration can't wait to see up close along with the other truck.

 

[70EB]

As usual, it looks fantastic. Nice color too. I knew I should have had you build mine two deployments ago;D

 

[NicksTrix]

thanks guys

 

[deltabronco]

Very Nice Nick. Your vehicles are top notch as always!

 

[mavereq]

i'm amazed at how far gone that was after seeing the finished product. that's incredible. did you use any of the original tub?

 

[NicksTrix]

mavereq- we reused/repaired part of left taillight housing, #1 & 2 cross members, fire wall, front door posts,lh striker, kickpanels/cowl area and engine bay. oh same grill, hood & doors where repaired.
replaced everything else replaced with either new or good factory used panels. a frame came from kb6677.
i think it was 6 different trucks that donor panels came from. we repair what we can, but time is money and you have to know when to saw when.

this set a new record for saving one for us, but we're about to break it on another that just came back from chem strip.

thx for checking it out.

 

[samandturtle]

looks like motorcycle mirrors

 

[englewoodcowboy]

The chem strip is awesome.. I have thought about having that done to mine... on the outside mine looks decent, good rockers, fenders strikers and posts.. the floor is another story, but you never can truly tell till they are stripped back to bare metal. Id just be afraid to see it all come back as swiss cheese
