Great work Larry

Re: 68 project
 

Cab is moving right along and the color looks great. I'm working the same areas on mine now trying to get color sprayed this month...probably won't happen.

Re: 68 project
 

Truck is looking good!

Re: 68 project
 

Thanks everyone, my plan is to soon enjoy driving it. Then I can focus on building a garage to keep it in. :chevy:

Re: 68 project
 

38 pages on your build and not a one did I miss...this is just one of those builds where you gain so much information...thanks for all the posts, keep um coming, greet build, no doubt!!

Re: 68 project
 

Thank you, I hope many can get ideas and knowledge from this build thread as I gained many ideas and knowledge from the other builds on here. It has been a long and challenging road but I do not feel there is any better truck than one you have built with your own hands. The only thing to date I did not build myself has been the upholstery and if I had a sewing machine I would have tried it also. :lol:

Sent a PM

Re: 68 project
 

I seen it and responded. :chevy:

Well I am hoping tomorrow to get color on the cab and get the doors worked up to get them ready to hang and adjust :mm:

Re: 68 project
 

I worked right next door to your cabinet shop today. I didn't realize it until I was leaving. I did the heating and air on y'alls shop years ago when it was built. That place has been many things. I wished I'd caught that was your shop. I would've stuck my head in. I need to come by some time.

Re: 68 project
 

Sweet, where were you at the noodle plant ? Yes it has been many things, we have been there about 5 years now, we actually purchased the building. Stopp by sometime and I wil show you around. ;)

Re: 68 project
 

Stinky place to the right. I think now the place in there does work for spectrum. We do right much work for the folks that own the properties. They used to do a lot of commercial work but that pretty much dried up. Now we do pretty much service work and change outs.

Re: 68 project
 

Taped it out and laid some color this morning, overall it is looking good.

Re: 68 project
 

Who ever said restoration is easy ? But it sure is rewarding when you can say your hands and sweat built this machine.

I wasn't real pleased with the drip rails the way they looked so smoothed them out a bit this morning and got it reprimed. I love the smell of fresh bondo and primer. :mm:

Re: 68 project
 

Great progress Larry. That is going to be one nice ride.

Re: 68 project

Re: 68 project
 

Looks great, I'm envious....

Re: 68 project
 

Hoping to get the cab set down this week and bolted into place permanently. Thanks guys I have to bring this project to a close as quickly as possible.

Re: 68 project
 

That looks very nice!

Re: 68 project
 

what? you were not pleased with the way something came out the 1st time. that's so not like you redoing it. hahahahahahahaha! looks beautiful must be because I have not come by to distract you with 1000 questions.

Re: 68 project
 

Blah blah blah :smoke: Haha, I have never redone anything, I even fixed that spot on the bottom and back of the cab that you won't see when it is installed :mm:
I wondered what happened to you, have to finish the exhaust pipe then the cab can go on. :chevy:

Re: 68 project
 

Was able to get the last color coat on the cab today and the inside of the fenders all colored along with the cowl panel. Ready to Scotch it all and lay the sayin clear on it. :mm:

Re: 68 project
 

Nice, real nice. Dude your making some real progress. You will be motorin down the road in no time at all.

Re: 68 project
 

I am trying to, work has busted wide open, but my goal is to get as far as I can before I am told I got to go. :lol: I am sure things will slow down when I am able to get to the wiring part, I have a lot of studying to do for this test. :smoke:

Re: 68 project
 

Time to head out to the shop, hoping for a productive day and to get all the cab and front fenders clear coated and ready to bolt onto the frame. Still a small list of things to do on the chassis before I am ready to bolt the cab down though so will also be trying to tackle those in between coats drying. :chevy:
