Re: 68 project
 

Someone also came by and forced me to take one of my wings apart, so I figured I might as well get the finish on it :chevy:

Re: 68 project
 

Yes yes someone did come by and force you to do it. Guilty as charged. Then the guilty party had to go home and tear theirs apart because they had so much fun they wanted to try it. Always learn something when I come by. Had to have some reason to come by other than to stare at your truck.

I'm telling yall the pics of this truck are amazing but to see it in person it will take your breath away. It is BEAUTIFUL! He is a perfectionist.

Re: 68 project
 

You are just way to kind, thanks for your help today, enjoyed it. :chevy:

Re: 68 project
 

I enjoyed it as well.

Re: 68 project
 

Wow this is amazing .....you sure your not hiding a couple of helpers in the shop when we r not lookin......:)

Re: 68 project
 

:lol: cknfrmr has been doing most of the work. I had good drive yesterday, I am really liking it when I can actually assemble something with knowing I do not have to take it back apart. :chevy:

Re: 68 project
 

more clues to this marathon turning to sprint....340 a m post . I can appreciate the enthusiasm its the pace I cant keep up with this is one of my favorite builds to watch better than waiting for Black Sails every Sunday and there will be no end to the episodes :)

Re: 68 project
 

Hey Larry, so what kind of primer are you going to use? Have you decided on a color yet?
I went to Maaco to get an estimate the other day and I told the estimator I had used some Rustoleum primer and she told me they would have to take it all off $$$ ...so I'll be doing a lot of sanding anyway. I really plan on taking "Auto Restoration" at Community College and doing myself but was just curious. Started talking $3000 or more just to primer....WTH? I do use SEM High Build primer I should've asked if that's ok.?? And I used Epoxy on the inside cab, esp the floor.

Re: 68 project
 

Actually if you look at post 546 page 22 you will see the color that is the color the entire truck will be. This the gray rimer I sprayed yesterday. It is a primer fill which is good to help fill imperfections and light scratches. I did use epoxy primer over the bare metal.

Re: 68 project
 

Sounds like you got it covered, no pun intend. Post 546, I'm on my way. Interesting color, like a Green Slate, jade, subtle. Is there a name for it?

Re: 68 project
 

I should've came over yesterday and pitched in. Looking good.

Re: 68 projecrecreatt
 

Larry Larry Larry although I would love to take credit for doing work on your truck that is all you. All I do at the shop is ask questions and learn. Then go home and try to recreate the small simple things. Like redoing my vent windows. You are the master.

Re: 68 project
 

He has so many people try to get a sneak peak of his truck he had the gate locked on Saturday when I went by. hahahahahaha.

Re: 68 project
 

It is actually the olive self etching primer with a clear coat over it :chevy:

Re: 68 project
 

The doors were open ;)

Re: 68 projecrecreatt
 

If you would not have asked I still would not have taken my wings apart and painted the frames, nothing wrong with asking questions so I can lead you in the wrong direction :lol:

Yes, I must keep the gate locked as it seems to be a tourist attraction in Kville :uhmk:

Re: 68 projecrecreatt

Re: 68 projecrecreatt
 

Yes I did thank you but it really was not necessary :chevy: I hope they helped you out

Re: 68 projecrecreatt
 

just glad you got it and stop your *****in' lol. I appreciate all the help I get here, I'll be putting on wiper motor tomorrow.

Re: 68 project
 

Have not had any time to even go work on my truck this week :waah: Now I wake up sick this morning, looks like I will miss my Saturday time with Betty :sumo:
Was supposed to go look at a Nova Saturday also but looks like that may be put on hold also. Future project maybe :chevy::mm:

Re: 68 project
 

I did receive a good number of parts this week though, most of the new stuff to rebuild my vent wings came in and my fuel line and double flaring tool came in also :5150:

Re: 68 project
 

dang dude. hope you feel better.

Re: 68 project
 

feel better... i had that bug... took 3 weeks to get rid of it finally went to Dr got a anti biotic Zpack that nocked it out of me

Re: 68 project
 

Hopefully it subsides before 3 weeks :waah:

Re: 68 project
 

Hope you get to feeling better. I know I do not like being sick.

Re: 68 project
 

Feeling much better, thank you. Robert and did a parts run today to Asheboro. Then I finally got 5o see Roberts cool c10 ride. Seeing he wont post any of them on here I snuck in a couple shots I will share, I think it is an awesome build.

Re: 68 project
 

That is true. Larry has seen my undocumented ride. Didn't think it was worthy. Needs some work but I am proud of it. Waited a long time to get it. Thanks for mentioning it and posting pics. Had a great time going on the parts run.

Re: 68 project
 

I dig it.

Re: 68 project
 

I dig it too, if he wants a laugh just look at the first pic of my rotten rod :lol:

Re: 68 project
 

thx. yall r to nice.

Re: 68 project
 

Do not let him fool you, his truck is in much better condition than he gives credit for. :5150:

Re: 68 project
 

Larry I'm glad you snuck a couple of pics because it's definitely worth it. Robert it looks like you're well or your way to something great!! Larry I hope you finally got rid of that bug you had.

Re: 68 project
 

I tried to convince him he needed a build thread :smoke:

I am feeling a whole lot better today, ready to get back at it :mm:

Re: 68 project
 

Uggg!!! Robert, they thing is terrible! I'd gladly be a buddy and take that 'junk' off your hands. :D

JK... Another cool build.

Re: 68 project
 

thats great to hear ..look forward to seeing the progress ....i was trying to catch up a little while you were out of action.....:)

Re: 68 project
 

After looking at this bumper I had out back and Robert and I discussed I had to hold it up on there and I think I actually like it. It will allow me to build the trailer I have been wanting and an actual way to pull it, plus it goes along with my military theme I am doing. And is not real obtrusive. What is your opinion on it ?

Re: 68 project
 

I like it .

Re: 68 project
 

I will sand blast it and paint it the off white and patina the bumper to match the front
