This is the passenger side all cleaned up, after i added the body filler....

Re: Starting 1966 Factory Short Bed Build, Bagged, 383 Stroker and Muncie M20 4-Speed
Got more cleanup on the Passenger side kick panel and the driver side is drying after fiberglass resin was added. After they are both all cleaned up, i will spray paint them with hammered Semi-Gloss black Rust-o-leum paint. I do not want them all shinny or just flat black...

Question for you all: Suggestions on how to attach them to the cab?
|
Re: Starting 1966 Factory Short Bed Build, Bagged, 383 Stroker and Muncie M20 4-Speed
Those snap button things, like you see on home stereo speaker grill cover thingies.
.... or, basically every interior panel in a modern car, I guess, now that I think about it. |

Update: So i have been cleaning and sanding on the kick panels. They look great. I put on what seems to be a lb of bondo, sanded off 5/8 lb of bondo... lol found the "typical" little pin holes around so now i am using "glaze" filler. That stuff works great... but i am learning to not apply it very thick as it is not needed. LOL anyways, They are about ready to get painted. I looking into the hammered paint.... ya not using that. It just does not look right, so i am going just a Satin black.... Pics to come. Then back to working on the cab.
For the cab i need to get the couple of dash dents fixed, couple screw holes filled and then get the seam sealer installed, then prepare outside of cab, getting all the dents fixed and ready for primer.... FINAALY! lol |

I included some images of a repair I did to one of the rear door panels from my dually. This was a SuperGlue repair sanded flush, topped w/the SEM Texture coating, & then SEM interior paint/dye. I don't have any good close-ups of the trim I did w/the actual 'texture' paint but it's much more aggressive. |

update on the speaker pods. So as much as i hate to say it, i am not a body guy by any stretch of the idea.... so with that said, i decided that i did not want a "Kick Panel" to be super clean and scratch free when i painted just to get "Kicked" LOL so i just went with the same speaker cover i used on the sub-Box.
Now my only issue what to do with the space next to each side of the sub box? suggestions? |
Re: Starting 1966 Factory Short Bed Build, Bagged, 383 Stroker and Muncie M20 4-Speed
Kick panels look great! I love that you fabricate tons of stuff!
Not sure what to put on the sides of your sub box...what about a fire extinguisher on one side...and ? on the other? I am going to incorporate a fire extinguisher somewhere in my cab...just not sure where yet. |

Fire Extinguisher is a great idea.... maybe a First Aid kit on the other or ???? Now that you mention that, someone makes corner metal plates if i am not mistaken, i could use them and the set the extinguisher on one and ??? on the other.... First aid kit? |
Re: Starting 1966 Factory Short Bed Build, Bagged, 383 Stroker and Muncie M20 4-Speed
I bought these for my speakers...you may be able to get him or you make them without the speaker holes and mount the fire extinguisher on it or make it yourself and recess a place for the extinguisher. I also like the idea of a first aid kit or maybe a small tool kit in case you needed some basic tools on the side of the road.

Fun little note: on Sunday i pick up my new little partner... a seven week old Boston Terrier, name is Zoey. Some of you may remember in the middle of last year i got a little Boston Terrier, named her Zoey and after 4 weeks she got sick, took her into the vet and was told she would not make it, that she had a birth defect and over half her little intestines were dead. Just about did me in honestly. I was amazed at how such a little pup could grab ahold of this big guys heart strings... anyways... Love this breed... so went to the same family for a new puppy, ironically it is from the same parents, has almost the same markings.... and so to honor my first Zoey, i wanted to name this puppy Zoey also. So i may be a bit slower on working on the truck, but i will take a few hours here and there to work on it. Pics will come of little Zoey though... my new shop and cruising partner... |

Ok now onto body work....
So i had a dent in the roof that was causing "oil canning" but in reverse sort of.... the oil canning would stay down, not up. So i used some heat form a yellow can of propane gas and water rag to heat and cool the metal to get rid of the oil canning, which worked rather well. then i used a Harbor Freight stud welder for pulling dents and got most of the dent out, not all but good enough for me and then some thin bondo... i will sand that down add more if needed and then final with glase. In the damn middle and rear of the roof are two holes, not sure what for, but they are there... so I will try to correct as much of the dent as possible then weld up the holes. So made why people do this crap.. I am not a body man by any stretch, but I try to get it good enough... if that makes sense. .. Mote pics to come.... By the way, any and i mean ANY suggestions on body work i am all up for!! LOL |
