Thanks, it is a whole lot easier when ypu have a place to work on it. Hoping to soon have the cab in primer.

Re: 68 project
 

Very nice donor cab. The parts are looking good mocked up. Man don't you just love the new rocker panels, such a breeze to install. Keep up the great work. Looking forward to seeing this truck come together!!

Re: 68 project
 

Thank you, GM rockers fit great, I threw the aftermarket one on there just to see the difference, it fit good but not as good as the gm factory rocker.

Re: 68 project
 

Well no pictures but I did get most of the drivers side welded in on the cab last night, won't be able to work on it tonight but ready to start on passengers side next. :chevy:

Re: 68 project
 

Time to start grinding some welds . :smoke:

Re: 68 project
 

Got a few hours in on Project 68 today, was able to get the second coat of por on the frame, 1st coat on trailing arms and a arms. Hoping to have the frame ready to roll by the end of the month. We will see :mm:

Re: 68 project
 

looking good man. you picked a good day to work on it. with all the rain we got. I'm sure you will have it rolling

Re: 68 project
 

Thanks Robert, sure was a great day to work on it. We also started tearing down the bosses donor truck, his frame is about ready to reassemble.

Re: 68 project
 

Well we got a new toy we have been playing with tonight, we got a tig welder been practicing techniques tonight.

Re: 68 project
 

Trailing arms and control arms have a coat of por and the wife and daughter came down and sandblasted some parts.

Re: 68 project
 

Cant beat new toys and family swinging by to help. Ordered me some rust treatment stuff from Eastwood and couple other things to paint up engine compartment while motor is out. Yours is really coming along.

Re: 68 project
 

Finally got some more shop time in today. Was able to get the rear trailing arms and axle housing sand blasted and ready to por. :mm:

I also almost have all the front suspension and brake system, ready to get this thing rolling on its own again. :chevy:

Re: 68 project
 

Well, the rear axle is all tore down mostly cleaned up should have it painted this weekend and ready for reassembly. What a messy job.

Re: 68 project
 

And of course I have to share the pics of the motor I adopted last night. :metal: With a turbo 400 attached

Re: 68 project

Re: 68 project

Re: 68 project
 

Thank you :mm:

Re: 68 project
 

An attempt at shortening a bed side, before and after. :chevy:

Re: 68 project
 

Wow. Looking good. Your making some serious progress.

Re: 68 project
 

Got it all sand blasted and sprayed down with metal prep. Now time to prime her out and finish welding in the patch panels

Re: 68 project
 

About to get the bottom side finished up, all the floor patches and door pillars are welded in now drivers rocker is installed. Today I painted the whole bottom side with POR 15' now I am thinking about spraying the bottom with rhino liner to protect and help with sound barrier and vibration.

Re: 68 project
 

Looked great today. You do awesome work. Great catching up with you. Man you got me thinking about the mirror thing after we talked today. Tore my parts stash apart and found my old mirror arms gonna put them back on. Thanks for the good advice.

Re: 68 project
 

Thanks bro, I always enjoy having some company at the shop. I wasn't trying to talk you out of the mirrors you like:smoke: that's just my opinion :lol: which isn't worth a whole lot ;)

Re: 68 project
 

Nice to see you're back at it. Good work so far.

Re: 68 project
 

Great to see that you're back at it and keeping us updated. Looking forward to maybe seeing this thing in person at a cruise in or something once it's all done!
