Looking good man, got a question, in pix #3 there I see a ESSO sign above the truck, do they still use ESSO logo over there, or is that a old antique sign??

Over here it's been EXXON for decades....

:crutches:

Its a old antique sign, no Esso or Exxon sold here. Shell and Caltex plus local brands only.

Home from the body shop.....now the tedious work starts.

I like the way they painted inside the cab and especially under the dash.
Looks like they do nice stuff over there. :yahoo:

I was thinking the same thing.

Finished power coating the front end and new droped spindes.

To lower the rear I moved the back spring perch up 3 inches and have to change the angle of the drive shaft now.

 

[BangkokDean]

A little more done,
LPG tank in and lines run

Steering connected and break lines run

Pampered chick......who thaid dat..........

Brake peddle is in plus the master cylender.

Rear window in but the widshield will have to be remade to fit better.

 

[BangkokDean]

Well the new tinted windshield is custom made and in place.
The glass shop made a metal pattern and then formed the safty
glass around the pattern.Cost a little under $500 and that included
the rubber gasget.

 

[BangkokDean]

Now the recromed bumpers are installed on the custom power coated brackets.

 

[mrvette]

That windshield made from safety glass?? I find that amazing any which a way....love to see the process/how they did that....can you possibly stop by some day and post a few pix of the joint/process?? THAT would be a education....:bounce::nuts:

 

[BangkokDean]

Yes tinted safety glass.......please remember Thailand has a rather large auto manufacturing base.

The same shop also made the windshield on my vette, it is perfect. But it was cheaper ($320) as they used my original as a pattern.
