Hope everyone enjoyed their fourth...;):chevy:

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
 

Today started out with a trip into town to collect some dirt to finish up some honeydooz...:uhmk: Upon retuning home I used a defunct trampoline frame to fashion 2 racks… they will be used to store the above mentioned dirt, and eventually be used to support the stepper bed for the remaining bodywork and paint…;)
I then rolled the '65 out into the sun to do some work...:cool:

I sprayed the color on the dash, colour for my English mates...:mm:

After the Peel & Seal, I installed the new Firewall Pad...:metal:
Thanks to Bret for his input, the tool for the Pad retaining clips was invaluable...:c2:

We'll see what tomorrow brings...:chevy:

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
 

That is super impressive Don.

Really moving along and getting that glare from the end of the tunnel your eyes.

Insulated cab will obviously be a great place to be.

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
 

Looking good Don . I think I will have to get one of those pads . Was it very expensive ? . The funny thing is we all spend time getting the floor looking good ,then cover it with sound deadening ,then cover It with a carpet

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
 

Pushing towards the goal!!! :mm: Thanx Mate!!! :metal:

Thanks mate...:mm:

Truck and car shop had this pad for $56 and the retainer tool was $8 (Worth the money) Clips are included with the pad… Here's a link, click order online to navigate their catalog… http://www.truckandcarshop.com/6072.html

Also be aware, these clips are a pain to install:waah: (at least mine were) The tool seemed to want to stay stuck in the clip after they were pounded in… there were extra clips, thankfully, as I destroyed 3 in the process...:lol:

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
 

That peel and seal looks good!! Dash does to!

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
 

Great job on the peel an seal brotha. :metal: Dash looks smoooth! :chevy:

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
 

Guess there may be more parcels headed your way soon Don??

How heavy is the pad, and more importantly, can it be folded to suitcase size, or rolled up?

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
 

Rian, the pads are fairly light (a couple of kg's max) mine came (from LMC) already rolled up for shipping. You will need the tool for fitting the clips, they are like hollow plastic Christmas trees, a bit of a pain even with the tool!

Don, fantastic progress, it's looking great:metal:

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
 

Thanx Guyz...:mm:

Still gotta source a few parts for the throttle cable to carb connection, but the cable is installed…;)

I started painting the door interiors and the door panels…

Looking good man. I like it.

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
 

yeah man, i agree. colors look good together. way to go bro...

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
 

Thanx for the input guys! :mm:

Here's a shot of the door colors… :metal: the remainder of the interior metal will be satin white and the dash and related colored bits will be gloss…

Looking good brotha! :metal::metal::metal:

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
 

Looking good. Moving right along!!!

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
 

I do like that. Very nice. Very nice indeed.

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
 

The dash is cool. I like the 2 tone came out real nice.

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
 

Those two colors go together sooooooo well! Great job Don. :metal:

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
 

Thanks for checking in… and for the comments… :mm:

Although, at times, I feel like I need to hang a whiteboard to scrawl my ideas on...:lol: Mostly due to the fact that occassionally I tend t come up with an idea, then later question the validity when I attempt to bring that idea to life...:crazy:

Lesson Learned… A rendering BEFORE I start on my next project will be a MUST! :bann:

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
 

looking real good don! you have got a lot done this summer that's for sure!!! how much peel and seal did you use? I bought another two rolls to do the floor, the firewall & back wall I already did awhile back! are you going to use the reflective insulation pad on the floor under the carpet also? I'm wanting my cab floor to be really insulated since my mufflers are right under the cab and exit in front of the rear tires

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
 

Thanx Chad!:mm:

I used just over 2 rolls of the peel & seal… and that was just for the floor and up to just under the firewall pad… with the remainder of the 3rd roll I plan on doing the insides of the door panels… and later, when I relocate the fuel tank, I will do the back wall of the cab…;)
Sure hope you get to Clem's in October...:metal:

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
 

This is looking great Don! That "peel and seal" stuff. Is it the Home depot roof seal stuff? I used that stuff in my doors and just the removable panels being insulated made a huge difference! Nice color choice btw

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
 

Thanks ;)

I used the stuff from Lowes (It's local, Home Depot isn't)
Here's what I used…

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
 

Stepped out to the shed this a.m. and used the remainder of the Peel & Seal on the interior of the door panels...;):chevy:

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
 

Nice!!!!!:metal::metal::metal:

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
 

Looking good Don! I went to the Lowes website looking for the P&S, read the reviews and they almost all about automotive applications :lol:

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
 

Looking good Don . Should be a lot quieter in the truck when finished . Another job on my list of things to do

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
 

I just did my 64 with the stuff Don. This is the second truck I have done with it and was always happy with the results. A lot quieter and it definitely made the floorboards cooler.

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
 

Probably an even more sensible mod than floors, doors do rattle and resonate.

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
 

Another piece of the puzzle fitted today.

Martin and I went to the travel agency today to book our car.

Helped by Jesus...... It has to be a sign.

So headed to Don's place first, then on to Clem's or his shin dig.

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
 

Not sure what you did on yours, but I put a double layer down for the floor and firewall areas.

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
