The Duck Build.

Looks great! Is that a remote power steering reservoir on firewall driver side? What vehicle that come out of? I'm looking for a solution for my explorer setup setup.

nice man, loving your collection... almost there

I wish it was mine, I am building it for a customer and absolutely love it. Started it in July and if all goes as planned it will be in Townsend in 4 weeks...

Great work! I pick up an idea every time I look at your builds. The hard line for the power brake booster is super clean.

Thanks, I actually copied that from how they came from the factory. Just running that hose the whole way did not look clean enough. Part of the inspiration of this build was to make it look very stock but not...

No worries, on the green one it is from an 06 Excursion 6.0. Not easy to find and it has a factory dual return. On the red one it is from a 06 to 2015 E150. It only has a single return but was easy to modify the bracket to mount on the firewall. It is a great location for them I think.

I'm liking the letters painted. What do you guys think?

Looks good Tom!

I like the painted letters. As always Tom, great job.

Thanks Todd. I finally got to try out the stencils I bought from Drew. Man they are well worth it. The red ranger I did, I had to lay them out with fine line tape and they are not as neat as the stencils. Any more stripes etc. that I do will be done with his stencils, hand laying them out takes way too long. I did this ranger hood stripe and have easily 8 hours into the whole project from start to finish...

Now that's some nice work!

Nice work, came out really nice

 

[Germd]

Yes, definitely! Like them not being plain white too.

I love the painted letters too. I thought it might be mine (parts of it) under the sheet. lol .

Well here is another update... Unfortunately the Duck is still not 100% done but it is so very close. All that is left is a quad link kit from Krawlers Edge and a spare tire carrier I have yet to build. Come see it in person at Super Celebration!

 

[duffymahoney]

Going with a 4 link?

GOOD LAWRD!! love that rig!! nice job!!

Yes sir! The motor is a bit much for the springs and if you stand on it and when it shifts it is dangerously violent. I worry about breaking a yoke or driveshaft then the carnage it could cause so this is a preemptive repair if you will. KE has had them on BO since August so we are still waiting for them to come in. The other nice feature of their kit is I can tweak the rear ride height so if the new tire carrier and tire make it squat a little, I can adjust it back up.

Are you going to make it to SC Randy? I met you in person my very first year attending back in 2010, would love to see you again! Im hoping Bax makes it this year as well, it was fun hanging out with him last year.

 

[tasker]

NOT in the cards this year...trying to get my other truck done. it was a great time....I think so anyway, my liver? not so much ;D

Livers are made to be abused! LMAO
