I got an email from LMC the other day on that product and looks cool won't have wood rot issues.

Re: Project 68 k10 LWB..aka "The Hulk"
 

I am thinking about it for this project. Just need to change a few design ideas I had.
Painted slats and barn-wood maybe ???

Re: Project 68 k10 LWB..aka "The Hulk"
 

Well been busy with the whole getting my son through graduation and ready for college. He is going to Idaho State university

The guy I had paint the firewall sold his business and became the shop teacher at the local high school. He calls me and asked if he could finish the truck in my shop during the summer. So I said heck yeah.
He is starting tomorrow.
Updates to follow and can’t wait.

Re: Project 68 k10 LWB..aka "The Hulk"
 

That cool he is willing to finish the paint at your shop. Dose he do rot repairs. I have a Plymouth Satellite with rot.

Re: Project 68 k10 LWB..aka "The Hulk"
 

Really, looking forward to seeing your progress! It's going to be a sharp truck.

Re: Project 68 k10 LWB..aka "The Hulk"
 

Hey DW. Yes he is going to use my equipment and space to get it ready to paint. He will take the truck to the school he teaches at as they have a brand new paint booth.

Thanks Brett
I can’t wait.

Working on door, cowl and hood gaps. the cowl induction hood is junk!!!! but looks cool. lol!

Re: Project 68 k10 LWB..aka "The Hulk"
 

Update on body work.
20 hour in and has the cowl hood about right. Gaps are looking great staring on body work soon!!!

Re: Project 68 k10 LWB..aka "The Hulk"
 

Nice, sure does help when you get a body guy involved. The cowl hood is going to look very tough!

Re: Project 68 k10 LWB..aka "The Hulk"
 

Exactly Brett!

Well I am in Pocatello Idaho with my son at freshman orientation. My paint and body guy sent me theae pictures and said he will start slinging mud tomorrow.

Re: Project 68 k10 LWB..aka "The Hulk"
 

A little paint and body work update.
We were able to get the body gaps to that sweet spot.
Man they look good after a lot of work on that pos aftermarket cowl hood.

This before final block and light touch up.
Also a quick check of the colors.
Paint next week I hope.

Re: Project 68 k10 LWB..aka "The Hulk"
 

Things are looking real nice over there!!

Re: Project 68 k10 LWB..aka "The Hulk"
 

Looks Great! Blue and Silver will look real good on that truck, cant wait to see the icing on the cake!

Re: Project 68 k10 LWB..aka "The Hulk"
 

Well slowly making sure we get everything perfect.
We installed the cab studs for the under rear window paint divider trim. Now just need to spot prime a few spots, sand, and we can blow the body panels apart for paint.
I can’t wait!

Re: Project 68 k10 LWB..aka "The Hulk"
 

Sweet! I wish I could afford a body man right now. :)

Re: Project 68 k10 LWB..aka "The Hulk"
 

Hey guys. Well been busy getting the truck gaps set up and body panels straight. Got the panels removed and sprayed some color and clear.

Re: Project 68 k10 LWB..aka "The Hulk"
 

Got my GSI exterior door handles in the mail. Look pretty nice.

Re: Project 68 k10 LWB..aka "The Hulk"
 

Things are taking shape nicely!

Re: Project 68 k10 LWB..aka "The Hulk"
 

Hey guys. Took a few weeks off to get my sons ready and moved to college. One in Montana the other is in Idaho.

My paint guy started back to school so he just got back on the truck Sunday.

He was able to get the raptor liner sprayed in the cab, floor inside fire wall and back of cab.

Re: Project 68 k10 LWB..aka "The Hulk"
 

Looks great, does the liner help with sound deadening?

Re: Project 68 k10 LWB..aka "The Hulk"
 

Hey Mike
Yes especially on the floor as it is undercoated also with raptor liner. I think I will put a DynoMat like material on the back of the cab to make it less tinny also in the doors and roof

Re: Project 68 k10 LWB..aka "The Hulk"
 

Time to get the cab painted. Tomorrow should be the day!!!

Re: Project 68 k10 LWB..aka "The Hulk"
 

Yes the exciting part that first coat of paint. cool colors with the blue and silver.

Re: Project 68 k10 LWB..aka "The Hulk"
 

Looking forward to it!

Re: Project 68 k10 LWB..aka "The Hulk"
 

Thanks.
It’s been a crazy couple days. But cab is painted. The hazy picture is after he clear was sprayed.
Now to cut and buff the inside and I am going to start assembly inside the cab.
Fenders, doors, and hood to be painted this winter break. Maybe even the bedsides.
Done by spring????? Not sure but maybe.
