Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

Thanks for all the comments guys. I enjoyed doing all the sheetmetal repair, it gave me a new respect for full time body men, and this build has given us countless Father/Son bonding hours.My buddy has been really moving on the final bodywork. I will take him the hood and fenders this week.

We are doing a dash pad delete, as my son likes the smooth look of my '56 dash, so we welded up the holes, and will give him the smooth dash.

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

Nice what color will it be ...

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

It will be 2-tone, my son is still contemplating colors.......

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

Since you mentioned charcoal grey as a possible color earlier and now a two tone, what about something like this?

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

That dash looks pretty sweet...did you do any modifying or fabbing to the ends? I have thought of something like that with the entire dash covered in fabric and the bezels body color...

That is sweet, definately Charcoal grey and gunmetal Grey are two of his favorite colors...... but he has mentioned sunburst orange metallic and black as well....

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

We just filled the holeswith made to fit patches, sanded the contour, we did not do any modification to the ends, he liked the way it went from rounded to flat on the end. Initialy,I was thinking of cutting some round stock in 1/2 and welding to follow the curved edge of both sides, but left as it since he like the look.

Thanks for the Kudo's, it helps keep us motivated...

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

I'll have to agree with this color :D

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

Thanks Geoff...... little Biased with one of the colors i see huh! :lol:

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

I gave my son a lesson in blading lacquer. :metal:

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

This thing is really coming together - I find it hard to read all these build posts usually - but had some time over lunch today to kill and read a few - nice work so far - this will be a nice truck in the end.

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

Thanks for the compliment, this helps keep us motivated..... and believe me it's hard to keep a 16 yo motivated alot of the times, but he has done good thus far.

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

Nice work Heath and son....I was looking for a smashed phone from where you took it from him while he was texting and smashed it on the floor:lol:

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

Awesome work Heath!

Tell him he should be proud of his progress thus far.

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

Looking good as usual. Nice progress. Glad you're working together on this.

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

Thanks Guys. This keeps us going on the project.....


Geoff: I had that temper Years and years ago..... Then realized i had to replace what was broke.... :lol:

Nate, he stays motivated for the most part. I think we are gonna try to bend up and install the fuel line sunday, as i am out of town wed-sat.

VA , it's been fun for sure.. I think he will respect it more this way, as he has his own blood, sweat, and tears in this project.

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

It's great that you and your son are doing something constructive together. Looks really good, hope he appreciates the time spent together. Never did anything like that with my dad, now he is too old for these projects, but not too old to tell me I am wasting my money on this build!

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

Thanks bro!. I think he appreciates it and respects all that goes into rebuilding one the more he does things. he use to say Im bored, sanding is boring. I said you can sand and we can make progress or it can sit here and never get done. soo he sanded of course , but he brings it up often. I am sure no one thinks sanding is fun, but it has to get done none the less. Oh BTW, if your tired of wasting $$ on your truck, send it my way and i will help waste it on mine :metal:


why did you remove your thread link, now your making me work!

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

Those parts are looking good.

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

Just checkin' in on you. Awesome progress!!:metal:

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

Thanks Guys! it's been a fun journey!

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

Have not removed it, maybe something happened I wasn't aware of.

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

Didn't he change his mind on the drop for his truck? Have you made any changes on that part, or waiting until the rest is complete?

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

Nate,

For now we will run the ECE 2.5/4 and once complete, adjust the altitude if needed, which i know he wants to go lower already ......

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

O you need to go lower for sure.
