Got lots done today

The gas spill did a number to my driveway

Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside
 

Made myself an inner rocker

Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside
 

Got the monster dent out of the corner of the cab

Looking good, I see the Infamous green paint under that orange, they must have painted over half of these trucks built that green..

Welded in the inner fender that I made and did some other body work. Once I get my rocker in and grind down some of the welds, it will look like new:chevy:. I also have plans to soon make some custom door sill plates.

Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside
 

Good job on the inner rocker. Made it yourself and saved some money. :metal:

Thanks man, Looks like your suburbans twisted sister is coming along well

Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside
 

Tell me about it. I was on a road trip and pulled over to take a look at a truck I spotted, a stepside longbox that was orange with the same turquoise underneath. It wasn't a 62, but pretty darn close.

Got my engine back together and now I'm having starter problems. Pulled the starter out today and will bench test it tomorrow

Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside
 

Great job working the metal. :metal:

Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside
 

Thanks tj, still have rust repair to do on every panel but the hood:mad:

Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside
 

Cut the rib off of the bondo covered fender and welded it on to the red gmc fender that I got. Also welded on the bottom corner patch panel. The picture looks bad but it is all squared up and has the right curve to it. A little grinding smooth and it will look like new. Looks like I have a new Franken fender:chevy:

Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside
 

Got my radio polished up and painted and stained and cleared the knobs that I made from maple.

Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside
 

Good job on the radio! Looks good.

Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside
 

Thanks tj, thought I would finish this to take a break from the rust

Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside
 

Cleaned all of my terminals and now the starter works beautifully :chevy:

Don't worry tj :lol: i just need to rig up a temporary gas tank and I will make a video

Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside
 

Decided to try some simulated wood grain for the first time on the ash tray handle to match the radio knobs. Turned out pretty nice and I may do it on other pieces.

Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside
 

Looks good. :chevy:

Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside
