Looks good TJ! :)

Re: Project two tone.
 

Yeah, it seems to take me an hour to pull a dent. haha But, I find it rather enjoyable....nice change from all the sanding! Waiting on my block sanding stuff to arrive so I can do a nice job on the fillers. :chevy:
Thanks Jake! :mm:

Re: Project two tone.
 

Hey guyz! Well nothing big to report....the temps have been in the high 90's low 100's so working in a non a/c garage has been a little less motivating. haha But I'm slowly kicking away at this body work. Also early this morning I pulled the frame out for some picture shots and a wipe down and wax. Yes I actually wax this frame. :lol: Smells like bubble gum now! :chevy:

Re: Project two tone.
 

Hi all, some more small updates. Life just never seems to stop being so busy, but in it all there's been some truck time. :metal:

Still working on the back of the cab....slowly getting there. Luckily I have been able to keep most of the bondo under a 1/4 inch. Pulled dents the best I could. Just some holes to spot weld and a little more block sanding and it should be ready for primer really soon. :bann:

Also I have been working on getting this motor ready for break in. Recently put a valve cover gasket in and bolt the cover down. And I got some gauges hooked up. Little more wiring and then it just needs oil so I can prime it and water. Gonna use 94 vp racing fuel for break in. Getting excited folks! Almost ready to hear this motor finally! :chevy:

Re: Project two tone.
 

Howdy folks, after what seemed like never ending body work I was finally able to prime the back of the cab in. Almost there....just gotta repair the passenger side rocker panel and this cab is sealed. Then onto urethane primer and paint. :metal:

Re: Project two tone.
 

REALLY nice. Made me wonder why I went with the V8.... Yeah I remember now there was a big old hole in my inline 6, LOL. It got me home with the hole on a cold rainy night so it did its duty!!! Looking really good.

Re: Project two tone.
 

Thanks! :D
Yeah, I would have gone with a v8....probably should have at my pay grade. haha But I just couldn't let the 292 go. They're good motors! Thanks for checking in! :chevy:

Re: Project two tone.
 

Yay!!! Cab is fully primed in! :metal:

Re: Project two tone.
 

Well not much done this week.....went on a camping trip from Friday until this afternoon. But once I got home I couldn't resist trying to make up for lost time. So I spent this afternoon getting the holes drilled for the spotlight and then this evening I sanded the epoxy down a bit on the firewall and sprayed 2k urethane over that. Now back to block sanding and hopefully paint and clear soon! And speaking of paint.....Got my colors in Friday! :metal:

Re: Project two tone.
 

The spot light looks sweet.... heck the whole cab looks sweet. :)

Re: Project two tone.
 

Thanks man, it's been a long journey.....but fun all the way. :chevy:

Re: Project two tone.

Re: Project two tone.
 

Thanks man, been a little under the weather so once I get better I'll be getting back at it :chevy:

Re: Project two tone.
 

Looking forward to seeing you put on the color TJ.

Re: Project two tone.
 

Hey guyz!!! We got some color down! :metal: Still came out kinda peely but I'm gonna do some cutting and buffing and that should take care of that. Still happy to see some color down. Got 2 good coats of base down and 5 good coats of clear down. Sata 5000 sprayed nicely as well. Base went down very nice, clear needs some reducer. No dull spots in the clear...just differences in the lighting. :chevy:

Re: Project two tone.
 

Congratulations! Looks great and nice color.

Re: Project two tone.
 

WOW. That is looking good.

Re: Project two tone.

Thanks! :D Picking up all my buffing supplies this morning so super excited to get this paint all polished up tonight!

Re: Project two tone.
 

Got some cutting and buffing done last night and this morning. Did the 3 step 1000,1500,2000 with liquid ice. Buffed with a wool pad and black pad. Have to get a different blue pad cause Napa sent me the wrong one. haha Gonna fix that this morning. Until next time. :chevy:
