90's throw back....Manche build

Re: Re: 90's throw back....Manche build

So darn sexy

Thanks!

The more I see this come together, the more I feel like it needs one of those old school sun/moon visor things. I generally don€™t like them. But I feel like I would dig the hell out of it on this truck.

I would rock that and the topper, but the bed is 5 inches shorter now...

You're really going to tell me that you can't shorten a topper??

Bedsides complete, tailgate in place, played with some polishing compound and ceramic coating- paint cleaned up nice yet still retained the patina. .. and cleaned the shop finally...

But I am! Buy one with some resin, hardener and mat. I'll come up and shorten it for ya one Saturday. I'd do it for free and burn 2 tanks of fuel just to make that happen!

I'll be keeping my eyes peeled for a Craigslist cheapo! Can't pass up that deal....

Whenever you get ready for some paint work i know a guy... that would be willing to do some bartering on some suspension and sheet metal work (inner fenders) on a pretty unique ole Dodge truck .....
Cant wait to see this thing in action

Thanks guys!

I think this will better serve the style and function, over the diamond tuck.

1.5" dimples with 3/8 bead roll channeled for water drainage.

I don't know if it has been asked or said but are these panels aluminum?

Yes. There will be some steel panels on the engine doghouse sides; for hopefully a little less heat transfer.

More...

The cup holder piece is kind of the keystone of the center tunnel section (albeit, the last piece that would be removed, so as to be a fully functional vehicle when all the panels are removed for cleaning.) So I added these skirts to aid in fastening the lower pieces.

Small storage spot below/ behind cup holders.

Tried to do this tunnel panel in one shot, but quickly determined wasn't going to happen, therefore I flanged all the sides and made two pieces.
