Over The Road Hauler "OverHaul"

[rockNmayhem]

Well got some time to do some body work tonight so I decided it was time to start on the firewall and get the fenders lined back up with the body so after about four hours of work here's where the truck sits currently.

Basic firewall started.



Time for some hood gussets to line it all back up.



Also had to add a lip for the hood to rest on as a stop.



good over view of how the engine will look in the truck once I mount it finally.





Looks much better now with the firewall installed and everything lining up.



Just have a small gap on the sides to fill under the hood and make the inner wheel arch seats then it will be ready for some more filler in some small spots. (notice I am leaving the small gap in the fenders to be able to add a rubber cord on them to cushion it and give it more realism)



Thanks for looking and any comments on color or sugguestions on anything lemme know.

The body mods came out nice. What did you use for hood hinges?

Hey Brian the hing I made from some brass rod that I drilled out and used as a tube and then had a smaller rod that runs inside of it the soldered it to a couple pieces of brass then drilled them for the frame.

If you want I can take a couple more pics of the hinge if you'd like to see it all together.
