Preparing for Steel Days!

This afternoon is the Steel Days car show in American Fork. Joe and I installed the door panels last night so Thunderpig can make a proper appearance to the show with as much of it's interior finished as possible. So.... What'cha think?

Joe is shown here installing the handle on the drivers side door "the first time" (soon after we realized that I had messed up the door latch when I had earlier taken the latch a part to grind down a bolt head that was binding with the latch mechanism.. ooops! heh heh)

Passenger door prepped for the new door panel (holes drilled for the fasteners, latch adjusted to open just right -- learned from the previous door, and an arm rest pull reinforcement installed).. ready to go!

Tadah! It's amazing how much better the door looks with some nice leather interior panels. I really think the door panels turned out great. Don't you?

Here are the rear cab corner speakers.. They look awesome and sound sweet too!

Now the fun part! Time to drive the truck back home!


It was a long night, but rest assured, the effort will be well worth the time. :)

This morning we woke up early to wax and clean the truck for the show.

The engine is nice and shiny.. Look at it sparkle!

Here is a shot of the drivers side door with the handle and power window switch installed.

Check out the interior now!






The underside of the bed is tough to clean, but is a unique way to show off the chassis beneath, so its worth the work. Only 2 hours to go till the car show!
