I'm stoked to see how this turns out, slacker. I've followed your other builds and you do some top tier work. And, not gonna lie, that golden trans makes me crack uo every time I see it. I love the color scheme overall, but just thinking of the Golden trans gets me all giggly.

 

thanks .. I hope the tranny color "crack up" is a good thing ... cuz it looks very cool from underneath with the body on ties in really nice with some of the other powder coated pieces I did
I gotta get a pic for sure .. it's also going to tie in with the exterior decals nicely


.

 

yes, yes, yes. its a good thing. hahaha.

 

tks

Slacker, where did you get the foam that you replaced on the heater box? I'm about to replace my heater core and would like to replace the foam as well.
Also, do you know the part number for the new heater core you bought? There seems to be some discrepancy on which replacement ones actually fit.
Thanks!

 

most of the foam was from Rona or home hardware , (sticky back window seal) . the foam for the flaps is a open cell I have in stock ,I'm using it on my new seat covers I'm sewing . so , you should be able to get it from an upholster ..
not sure on the heater core # .. I can maybe get that for ya later .. I do know there are 2 .. a heavy duty , and a light duty .. I got the heavy duty .
I'm on holidays until the 6th , so I wont be on here for a bit .

Thanks for the info on the foam, that should help a lot.
Don't worry about getting that part # for the heater core, I already bought mine. I was just curious if you had it on hand.
Thanks!

 

truck back in the shop for the weekend ..
starting the new carpet install




as well as got the new projector headlamps installed .. I need to wire the halos and ballasts .
powder coated buckets and polished rings








.

 

nice build man

 

Where did you get those projector housings? What bulb do they take?

 

thanks fellas ,
and lamps or from ebay .. complete kit

 

continuing on the wiring and making progress .. I hope to "flash it up" soon ..

also .. mocked up the mirrors and Valance





.

 

It is starting to look like a truck again and that starts freeing up floor space and shelf space when the parts start going back on. Great job and it is going to be a nice looking truck when done.

 

Corey this thing is going to be awesome!!!

 

^ thanks fellas ...


mocked up the marker lamps this aft. .. (had a few mins today )








body lines are awesome

.

 

Another awesome build brotha! Too bad you can't clone yourself and do my build for me.

 

I can , and I do .. I build em all for people all over the world ..

I have one from Chicago , one from Boston coming next year .. as well as a few right here in Canada ..
I'm just busy busy busy .. so there is a long waiting list .

 

Stat. holiday today , so I took advantage of it working my own stuff .

first I built the harness for the Supra power seats ..




also got the battery in , and powered up the fuse boxes







also .. with the R150F the tranny sits 2" forward .. I cut up the original shifter surround , and didn't like the direction that was going , so I decided to make a "production" mould so I could cut out the shifter opening where I want , It'll match up to the original center arme rest console , and look totally FACTORY .. so here is where I'm at on that








.

 

not much to add , but did get the console mould done , and new piece extracted.




had to fit it







trimmed it and a mock up ..







just have to paint it to match now

also .. got my piping for the intercooler





.

 

Looks great man, but I've got my eye on that SR5 wheel under the bench!
