..........at least I was working on my truck when I did it!!!! :haha:

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

yep, i have been a slacker.... probably work on it some this weekend....

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

That's my plan. Scuff the POR15 on the frame and paint it with Chassis Black, may do a couple of other parts with whatever I have left....like the core support. Hope the weather holds out, looks like rain here.

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

yep i should probably have my son scuff and paint the core support as well,. I 'll check back Monday for updates!

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Uh ho. Now I have someone watching to see if I do anything this weekend. But I will be watching for your updates too!! The bottom fell out of the bucket just a few minutes ago, hope it all clears out for tomorrow!!

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Weekend progress was good, the weather cooperated! Removed the bed again and pulled all of the e-brake goodies off the frame and cleaned them and painted all the little parts. Pulled the shocks back off and decided to paint them a different color too. I dropped the rearend and decided to go ahead and paint over the POR15 on my frame to give it a cleaner look. After scuffing the entire frame and masking the airbags and hoses and grease fittings (well, my girlfreind did the masking) I pulled out the paint gun and shot the frame Gloss Black.

My freind asked me to lay out the graphic tape for his hood stripes on his 71' Cutlass hood, he just finished painting on Friday. I was honored!

looking good bro!

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

I cheated.......my girlfreind helped.:lol:

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

The frame looks good, what did you paint it with?

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Por15, then scuffed it with Scotchbrite pads then I used a cheap premixed automotive paint off the shelf from O'Reilly. The finished product looks pretty good I have to admit. Thanks for the compliments!

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Think i want you to repaint my frame. :lol:

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Nice work. I plan on painting my frame with spray bomb as well. I'm gonna use rustoleum hammered finish.

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Not a problem! :b69: I'll do it!

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

The hammered finish looks cool!

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

I got the frame back together and put the front shocks back on. This weekend was spent sanding, fenders, hood, doors, grill preparing them for the second coat of primer and epoxy primer. I'll put the pics up tomorrow. Here is one of the frame back together with the e-brake lines and front shocks back on. Also got the motor mount brackets on and the trans x-member bolted down.

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Hey bro! Yeah swing by anytime. Hopin to have a little paint on it in 4-5 weeks. BTW how is the Burb comin along??

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Thanks for the compliment! It helps!

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Here are the pics I promised. Everything has been gone over again with bondo and sanded since I want the body to be lazer straight. This is getting old.....but the final product will be well worth it. Scuffed the bed with 180 grit, and the hood needed to go down to metal since the old paint on it looked like a roadmap of Texas. :blah: here are the pics.

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Looks good...the stripes you laid out on the hood came out great!

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

looks good. did you paint the car?

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

this is a great build so far....looks awesome!!!

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

No. We have been using a bodyman that worked in a hot rod shop and he is helping us with the body and paint, etc. He gives us great pointers and shows us how and what to do, but he shot the paint.

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Thanks bro! I do a little pinstriping for fun but I have always enjoyed laying out graphic style work like that. Here is a pic of one of my guitars that I am putting back together, I painted it with krinkle paint and I did the pinstripes freehand.

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

ima try to make it out there in the next month or so, if i can remember the way lol. my burb is coming along slow, but its making some progress. im getting my bag stuff together now, im about 90% finished getting the parts i need. front end is all in black primer except for my passenger fender, but i just tore the front end back off again to get the latch and core sprayed sanded down and painted lol. and i was supposed to have the body work done by summer, not likely now lol

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

You gotta start a build thread, we wanna see the progress! Mine was supposed to be running by the first of August.......maybe 2010!!!:lol:

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

SHOWOFF! :lol:

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

I would love to practice on your truck!:lol: Not to good at it yet, but I will get the hang of it! My bodyman wants me to do his Hog and he will work a day for free......he's brave.

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

man that dudes caprice turned out clean too. did you ever get that body guy back over there or you hire someone else? i seen your wanted ad in the craigslist for a body guy lol

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Yeah he came back and finished Ron's car and has been working on my truck, he does do good work, gotta give him credit!

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Sweet little ride your building keep up the good work..

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

slick67 what size rear tire are you running?

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

I'll check before I say, but they are rubberbands.

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Alright, sanding for the first round is done! After bondo and sanding the primer went on with a mist of black paint. Started the first round of longboarding on the cab this weekend also. If you are thinkin about doing this yourself.......don't! Get professional help!! A bodyman, a shrink, and a second job to pay the bodyman and the shrink!!! You'd have to be crazy to WANT to be a bodyman or a shrink for that matter.

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
