Glad to see you making more progress. Keep plugging away at it! As soon as I get my Tahoe back in order, I'm gonna get down to dad's & resume work on the '66. We just bought our first house, so that's had me occupied the past 3 weeks or so. If I can ever find the time, I'd love to stop by & visit with you someday, especially since we're so close now.

It would be great to finally meet you. With all of the kids activities there is not a lot of time for the old truck but a few minutes here and there is always good. Congratulations on your new house.

Re: Greg65 build thread
 

Nice progress Greg!

Re: Greg65 build thread
 

Thank you sir! I'm sure the kids definitely have you busy this time of year. It's hard to believe school is already back in session. Seems like they just got out the other day. Man, summer break goes quickly these days. :lol:

Progress:metal:

Thanks Rob.

I had a little time between football game and band practices to get a little more undercoating done. A couple more cans and I think I will have the undercoating knocked out.

Re: Greg65 build thread
 

Now for hopefully a small job. I disassembled the vent windows for new weatherstrip and hardware. I'm hoping to get them painted in the next week or so then reassembly.

Re: Greg65 build thread
 

Looking good Greg. What undercoating are you using?

Re: Greg65 build thread
 

Looks great, how much did it move your motor back?_

Re: Greg65 build thread
 

Thanks Phillip. It is 3M 08964 Body Schutz. Alan introduced me to it while I was still in Georgia. It's about $25 a can plus buying the applicator gun. It sprays real good and has no clean up to worry about.

The plates move the engine back an inch and a half.

Re: Greg65 build thread
 

Yesterday I picked up my vent window parts. My hats off to Marty at Jim and Marty's Hot Rod Shop in Tuscumbia Al. They always turn out top quality work. Now let the fun begin putting them back together.

Fenders and wing windows look great

Re: Greg65 build thread
 

Thanks Greg. I'm still working on it when I get a little free time.

Re: Greg65 build thread
 

A couple small updates. I have the vent windows ready to reassemble as soon as my weatherstrips arrive along with a few more pieces I had coated. Hopefully it will go pretty smoothly.

Re: Greg65 build thread
 

I also picked up my interior paint about a week and a half ago. After it gets sprayed i will post some pictures.

Re: Greg65 build thread
 

The wings look good! What brand interior paint are you using?

Re: Greg65 build thread
 

Thanks. The paint is 2nd Dimension. My local paint store is a Sherwin-Williams dealer and I think it is a lower line from them.

Re: Greg65 build thread
 

Nice progress Greg... :metal:

Re: Greg65 build thread
 

My front bumper came in from Fred's Truck Parts on Tuesday. Kyle is a great guy to deal with. Here are a some pictures of it installed with a few bolts I had laying around the shop. The bumper bolts should be getting here any time with my vent window weatherstrip.

Re: Greg65 build thread
 

Looks good Greg!

Re: Greg65 build thread
 

Gotta love shiny parts! :lol:

Re: Greg65 build thread
 

Truck is looking good.
