Went by the lake today and shot a couple pics of my truck. This is my favorite . . .



I also came across this little gem - turns out it belongs to the son of the owner of the marina near my house.

Looks awesome, but I think the black trim makes it look like it has a unibrow.

My credo
Toonces drives a Ranger . . . . just not very well.
Both are great looking trucks. Nice to see some really sharp street builds.

The Cobra rims that were on the front were rubbing my shock mounts because they are so damn wide. I am going to put similar wheel on the back but I need two 15" Deer Track rims so I can get some wider tires.

Shaving the handles didn't take all that much, they can be done in a day if you dedicate yourself and have all the components together.

Essentially:

Remove outer handle
grind/sand paint around edge of opening
place filler panel and tack weld in place
carefully spot/tack weld all around the panel
let cool
grind the welds smooth
apply a thin coat of filler putty
let dry
sand smooth and repeat for low spots
apply a glazing putty to get the fine scratches from sanding
spray with primer
paint area same color as body

I know it all sounds really simple, but you do need to have some body working skills to make it look nice.

Now that you have the handle shaved - NO DON'T CLOSE THE DOOR :fie:

LOL - Seriously though, without a handle you need to have a way to get in - on the drivers door I have a solenoid operated through my alarm remote, a spring loaded popper opens the door when the solenoid pulls the latch. The passenger side uses the key cylinder to actuate the latch and open the door - serves as my emergency entry in case the batter dies.

Thanks for the comments - - - -:bye:
