Re: 66 SBFS street truck
 

Well i haven't forgot this thread .....
The box is roughed out and been block sanded 3 times now and should be painted next week.....
Bought the new steering column and recieved it.....blasted all the pedal assembly and painted in chassis saver ( i just love the texture and colour of it )
So over the next few weeks i hope to make some head way on this truck and be back on it...I want to have it ready for the spring and on the road.....

I have been slammed building other peoples projects and my shop is jammed but after going to SEMA and hanging out at the Dino's git down and ending up at the good guy's show.....I seem to be all over my own stuff..lmao.
Had a great time down there with my 58 and put lots of good miles on it and that was the best trip I have had in sometime.....Thats my 58 behind Dino's prostreet truck....

49 sedan delivery in progress....I dig what i did with the cover and intake....it's coated and i had them place the black stripes into it....

Re: 66 SBFS street truck
 

just a few reasons I am behind on this build.....This is the 53 chevy truck... I am doing " Blue " its for one of the best buddies a guy can have and there is a entire crew of people helping to get it done . It's crazy all the mods that have been done, over 30 body mods of the truck alone.....

Re: 66 SBFS street truck
 

Okay this one is my fault....

66 big window with a 3 on the tree and factory OD on the dash and it has helper springs and a big old brake booster mounted on the inner fender. I have to do some more research on the booster but i am leaving it on and this is kind of a patina retro build.

Re: 66 SBFS street truck

Re: 66 SBFS street truck

Re: 66 SBFS street truck
 

Well the wood kit for the box....

I stained this along time ago and I have had it sitting around waiting for the day I needed it. But I thought I would give it a blast of clear and then thats when the troubles started. When I did my 58 I used the same stain but sanded most of it off to give it a more patina look and then sprayed it with several light coats and wet sanded it between each of course. So i wiped the stain down lightly with some thinner waited a few hours to make sure it was all dry then brushed a light coat onto the wood.....it's been more then 24 hours and it still hasn't dried yet........here is thinking it will be dry tomorrow.

Re: 66 SBFS street truck
 

Well the box sides are all prep'd and ready to go almost.....let me tell you those sides have been blocked inner and outer over and over and over again and they are with out a doubt the straightest and cleanest sides i have ever had done.....
