PM sent....what the heck, you got a Super Duty??? So did you get the bumper on Leo???

:lol: Not much, just been lurking around, haven't had much time to post...busy with work and I got a part-time night job so I don't have much time for anything

:troll: That looks pretty sick Leo, can't wait to see the finished product

:wtf?: that sucks, sorry to hear about your truck. Very nice looking though. When I had my F350 people told me they were easy to steal and one of the top stolen vehicles. Thank God it never happened to me, I had a lot of work and money into mine like yours. I hope you find it and the...

:thumbs: Nice transformation, looks great

I'm almost positive that is Paul Tracey's old truck (CART race car driver). I use to live next to him. It was built by The Custom Shop in Las Vegas. The fender badges say: F-*CK The Factory

Thanks again everyone. I actually modified it a little further, just haven't taken a pic yet. The plexi-glass surface looked unfinished to me so I sanded it and sprayed some of the 3M Rubberized Spray on it. It looks great now, looks like something I bought in a store :D

Thanks guys :cheers: I just realized I may have posted this in the wrong section, didn't see the "Tech How-To" section. MODS-you can move the thread if you wish. Thanks

Thanks :cheers: Thanks you. I found that the steel gas line was the sturdiest to use.....I was in ACE for about and hour and almost went with other things such as PVC before I came across the gas lines. They are CHEAP too :thumbs: and everything I didn't use I just returned.

Total cost Pipes and fittings=$8 12"x12" piece of plexi-glass=$20 Mics supplies=$6 Grand total=$34 Labor=1 hour 30 mins....mostly because I kept taking breaks due to the heat :lol: I drove around the block a few times and it is very sturdy. I'm pretty proud of myself:D Hopefully...

Here is the finished product. NOTE-this is my personal laptop which is a widescreen and overhangs on each side of the mount.....My work laptop is the size of a netbook so it will be much smaller and fit perfectly.

In this picture you can see the mounting surface. I made a tape line at the bottom of the plexi-glass and taped about 1inch across, then took a small propane torch and heated the taped off surface. **I ONLY HEATED IN 5 SECOND INTERVALS, CONSTANTLY MOVING UP AND DOWN, SO AS NOT TO RUIN THE...

Then added some black flex tubing to cover up the ugly steel pipes. Also I screwed on the laptop mount surface to the pipes. **AGAIN BE VERY CAREFUL AT THIS POINT NOT TO OVER TIGHTEN THE LAPTOP MOUNT SURFACE, AS IT WILL CRACK IF YOU TURN IT TOO MUCH.....I STARTED TO HEAR SOME TENSION CRACKS ON...

I then sat in the driver seat configuring the various lengths of pipe and elbows until I reached the position I wanted and that was most comfortable At this point I added some Gorilla Glue to all threaded parts after I tightened them as much as possible; this way they would not move around...

I wasn't about to drill into my floor board, so I took a 1/2" bit and drilled out 2 of the small holes on the second base plate. The holes are opposite from each other so that I could play around with the base mount until it lined up how I wanted it. Now the hole is big enough for me to anchor...

I then got a piece of square plexi-glass for the laptop to sit on and mounted one of the base plates to it by carefully drilling 4 holes and adding 4 screws to attach the plate. **BE CAREFUL WHEN TIGHTENING THE SCREWS, IF YOU DO NOT WORK SLOWLY AND IN A STAR PATTERN, YOU RISK CRACKING THE...

**Thought I would post this up for anyone that needs a laptop mount in there vehicle but doesn't want to spend $200+ for a professional one** I got a new job that requires me in the field 90% of the time and the company provides me with a laptop that has wireless internet and specific...

Looking good. Damn law always sticking it to the man :p The SD lights look good though

Looks great I vote just a lightbar......those prerunner bumpers do look odd sometimes on lifted trucks, but it may look good on yours, if you did the first one and added some lights on it

Now that is sexy....I vote you do this Darren. Not sure I've ever seen an F150 this color with everything PTM. Definitely looks good, you should do it if you plan on keeping it for awhile. :thumbs:

Why isn't this done yet :dunno:

Wow its almost disgusting how much detail you have into this truck....sooo clean and everything flows so well Very nice, keep up the good work :thumbs:

:eek: wooh

:danana: LOL thanks Hunter, that's my new theme song for trail riding Gotta love the Nuge

One very awesome Fifty.....I love your attention to detail. I love Adams products as well :cheers:
