Re: My 68 swb build.
 

hopefully the door panels and visor will be done tomorrow....suppose to pick up a trailer sat morning and load the frame and get it over to the body shop to set the cab on the frame...and then shes coming home...yay...!!!! oh btw, the tape on the cab is he is getting ready to backspray and bedliner the inside of the cab and the underside of the cab.....

Re: My 68 swb build.
 

anyone got another grille piece they can spare? steel one that is straight????

Re: My 68 swb build.
 

i think the bedliner adds a nice two tone touch and makes the hood stand out above everything....

Re: My 68 swb build.
 

:jdp: whoa that is a nice white paint job!

Re: My 68 swb build.
 

Maybe you already said? Is the blue a base coat for a candy pearl? What kind of paint you using? It looks super high$$$

Re: My 68 swb build.

Re: My 68 swb build.
 

He did a great job on the wet sanding and buffing, they look super slick!!! I'll start looking for the another grill ring for ya, there are a couple of people I can call tomorrow. Let me know when you find one so I can stop my search.

Re: My 68 swb build.
 

If your talking about the blue on the cab, thats blue painters tape...hes getting ready to spray the inside with bedliner...and the paint was a bid dent in the pocket.. its all PPG Deltron. The pearl blue crystal is in a DBC 500 clear.. 389 a gal. plus the cost of pearl..75 parts to the gallon..i think it was supposed to come out to a little over 500 bucks for the gal. the clear is a DCU 2021. I was told it was the GOOD GOOD $h!t!!! i didnt go cheap on paint cause you get what you pay for...

Re: My 68 swb build.

I looked at the pics again.....duh! that's what happens when looking at small pics on the phone. That makes sense.

That Deltron is good stuff. This paint is gonna be too nice to drive.

Re: My 68 swb build.
 

Purdy!!! That looks super clean Chris! Guess I'll have to make the journey north to see it for myself.

Re: My 68 swb build.
 

ya tell me about it..lol i hope not though

Re: My 68 swb build.
 

thanks...its not perfect by any means...we forgot to patch a few small holes in the floor but you will never see the after patches he made under the cab or over the carpet...stopped by to see if the panels and visors were done..come to find out his kid in school got his head slid across the edge of a desk and ripped his ear horizontally...the pic looked like mike tyson got a hold of him...
