Thanks John..:metal:

Re: 4D'S "63" GMC Build
 

Not much progress on the truck. Just driving the wheels off it.
Took Darrah out for some pizza last night. Picture turned out good for a phone.

Re: 4D'S "63" GMC Build
 

Well, well - a blast from the past! ;)

Re: 4D'S "63" GMC Build
 

SEE!! Somebody else parks their truck where they can see it from their table too!!! :lol:

Re: 4D'S "63" GMC Build
 

Man your truck is sweet! :metal: And its super cool your girls are going to start pinstriping. I started about 6 months ago and I love it. One thing I would recomend when just begining is to not even fool around with a Mack or anything like that. Go straight to a Kafka Scroll series #3. That brush is amazing. I started with a Mack 00 and it was nice but I was blown away using that scroller, even for old school designs and spider webs! Post pics of thier art! :metal:
cheers.

Doesn't everyone? I always park where I think I'll be able to see my truck. One day at Cracker Barrel I looked outside and noticed someone taking a picture of my daily driver S10.

:metal:

Re: 4D'S "63" GMC Build
 

I don't know but I mentioned it in my thread and nobody spoke up. It's like nobody wanted to admit the addiction. ......... :lol:

I gave my 1973 Plymouth Satellite to my oldest boy. I drove it to a Golden Corral about 10 years ago and 2 workers walked up to the window beside me and one of them said, "man what is it?" and the other said " I don't know but it's a chevy!!! " :haha:

Anyway, I see 4D has the bug too!

Re: 4D'S "63" GMC Build
 

Will do Sam and thanks for the advice on the equipment.

I think we all have the bug . :metal:

Re: 4D'S "63" GMC Build
 

Hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving. Sorry for no new post, November is a hard and depressing month for the family.

Did get some good pictures of Darrah posing with the truck and worked on trying my luck with painting some 60-62 emblems.

Still saving some money up and getting closer to sending the truck off to the body shop, since Alan won't come and get it.:lol:

Re: 4D'S "63" GMC Build
 

Good job on the emblems. Has she decided what color(s) it's gonna be?

Re: 4D'S "63" GMC Build
 

she's still leaning toward tourquiose

Re: 4D'S "63" GMC Build
 

I didn't know you were going to paint the truck. That shows you how much attention I'm paying huh? :lol:

Thos emblems look killer.

Darrah looks older............

Re: 4D'S "63" GMC Build
 

She's growing like a weed......
Yeah were going to paint as soon as the funds are there.

Re: 4D'S "63" GMC Build
 

Bring it on down and drop it off and ill bring it to the Meet when its done ;) :lol:

Cool emblems look awesome!

Re: 4D'S "63" GMC Build
 

DEAL!!!!!!!!!!:metal:

Re: 4D'S "63" GMC Build
 

:mm: Nice pics, David. Really nice emblem work. Hope December's better.

Re: 4D'S "63" GMC Build

Re: 4D'S "63" GMC Build
 

Re: 4D'S "63" GMC Build

Re: 4D'S "63" GMC Build
 

Just out of curiosity, what paint are you putting on those emblems?

Re: 4D'S "63" GMC Build
 

Thanks Alan..

Thanks Gage..

It's just some model paint from Hobby Lobby..

Re: 4D'S "63" GMC Build
 

Its in the Man Cave hand book !

Re: 4D'S "63" GMC Build
 

:lol::lol:

Re: 4D'S "63" GMC Build
 

:haha:

Re: 4D'S "63" GMC Build
 

Man this is a really sweet project. Its makin me think that I need to go and hunt down an old stovebolt to tinker with.

Re: 4D'S "63" GMC Build
 

Thanks :metal:

Re: 4D'S "63" GMC Build
 

So what are the next plans for the truck?

Re: 4D'S "63" GMC Build
 

Windsheild, Paint and then the wood bed. Upholstery work while its being painted.

Local glass company quoted me a front windsheild yesterday installed and warranty $140.00 plus $59.00 for the gasket. I'm thinking this weekend.

My brother in law is working on the wood for the bed. and the body man is waiting on me.

Re: 4D'S "63" GMC Build
 

Sounds like a good deal on the windshield...will they come to Cali ?:lol:

Re: 4D'S "63" GMC Build
 

Yeah no kidding what about okc too? :lol:

I was quoted around $350 a few years ago and that was carry out :uhmk:
So it still has the nice rock chip in it ;)

Re: 4D'S "63" GMC Build
 

I see just how far their mobile trucks will go......:lol:

Re: 4D'S "63" GMC Build

Re: 4D'S "63" GMC Build
 

looking good...can't wait to see it with the paint...i'm leaning toward a teal for mine...ya'll go out to the Super Chevy Show? when i used to live in North Miss., we would drive up for the swap meet/show/races...fun times

Re: 4D'S "63" GMC Build
 

Thanks Dennis

Yeah we go, I actually live maybe 10 mins from the Motorsports park.
I wonder if there will be a show this April since they closed up the place.

Re: 4D'S "63" GMC Build
 

wow...i've been away so long, i had no idea they closed the place...i'm not sure what'll happen now...why did it close?

Re: 4D'S "63" GMC Build
 

not making money I guess

Re: 4D'S "63" GMC Build
 

Well finally got off my a$$ and got back in the shop last night.
I found a source for some of the parts I been needing. :metal:
So I thought I would tackle a couple these areas so the body man wouldn't have to and save me from paying him. Anyone want to come by and help me snatch my hood off..:lol:

Re: 4D'S "63" GMC Build
 

Nice!

Did we guilt you into some progress? ;)

Oh, and I'll be right over to help :lol:

Re: 4D'S "63" GMC Build
 

I didn't want Scott to get the big head for not being the laziest anymore:lol::lol:
