Cleaned up the 57 so I can deliver it. It was covered with overspray, and looked like crap. Looks like I just finished it again. Next is the engine compartment. The 454 will look great again too. :metal:

Looks great. What are you using to clean?

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
 

I pressure washed it up on the rack, and wiped it down. Then masked everything off and repainted the parts that had overspray. Which was a lot. Like the rear springs, parts of the frame, and even the rear end. :uhmk:

The taillights on your truck are really coming in nice!
Are you going to be adding side markers, and if so, what kind?

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
 

Thanks Michael. No side markers, just a nice clean look. :metal:

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
 

how come just about all of the pictures have such a busy background. it is quite hard to really see what is there esp that one black one in his garage with a black hood and other things behind it. should have a nice clean simple backdrop with out crap sticking out from every which where. now if they were boob pictures, they would quite visible and defined!

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
 

Hey Chris, I've been busy on everybody's stuff but mine. I'm trying to cut down on work so I can do mine. I'm trying to retire, but it's not working. :uhmk:
After the 67 C-10 I'm doing I have a 38 Packard coming in for complete air bag job. Then have a 50 Chevy truck with a S-10 frame conversion. After that I'm not taking any more jobs in. I will have just my 65 Truck and a good friends 40 Ford Woody to finish a frame off restoration. No hurry on that one. ;)

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
 

ighias here , lower back disks rubs on the nerves to my legs giving me all kinds of numbness tingles burnsensation and stings like they stick a knife in when i stand or walk too long
docter say no surgery you loose weight .... bit hard if you have problems walking and training to get fit again

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
 

I feel for you guys. Plus I have a separated left shoulder, torn right Rote-rater Cuff, Arthritis in my hands, elbows, and knees. To top all that I also have Gout now. I can't even drink Beer anymore. (BUT I DO!) :haha: At least I lost almost 15lbs. :metal:

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
 

oh whell you do better than me at the weightloss
recently got a new job that involves quite a bit more moving about so i still have hopes in the weightloss department

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
 

I think the BEER has something to do with the weight loss, plus been trying to be Gluten Free. I'm back to regular food and maintaining with a little Gluten and try not to have beer. :metal:

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
 

Happy New Year Dennis! Hope you get back into the swing of things again soon.

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
 

Man you guys are killing me......next you will be sitting on a park bench feeding pigeons discussing Medicare...Oh well I'm on my 3rd carpal tunnel surgery now also....

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
 

somehow hearing others talking about some of these healthproblems make me feel like i havent got it as bad as others have to live
age hands you things you realy dont want or where tinking of when you where young and invinceable and theres no choice in it
hope everyone will mysteriously heal overnight and live without pain , but have as little chance of having it come treu as for my lottery ticket to reap 30.000.000.000 euro's today
theres still hope though : i hope everyone has an awesome midnight and a great new year

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
 

I hope you all have a Great 2015 and not do this. I know I'm going to try better. :haha:

Happy New Year!

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
 

Similar build plan as mine Dennis... don't be so hard on yourself. . It happens

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
 

my schedule keeps a straight line right around zero done for about 4 years sofar
dunno wat is the better line

i did bought an engine for the project though , its being delivered tomorrow (yahoo)

you guys are going to laugh :
its a jaguar AJ6 6 inline and its going intoo a 1978 chevrolet c10
planning on buying the jaguar 4L80E transmission too

its an odd ball engine but it wil make more power out of the box than a chevy inline 6 will make hotrodded to the hilt
besides the jag engine cost about a 10th of the price of a used chevy unit were i live

all aluminium block and head , steel crank . 3.6 liter . 24 valve . twin overhead cam . fuelinjection
the engine doesnt take as mush space as the pickup so the first part of the project will be to get it running on a teststand with a megasquirt 2 setup

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
 

Cool engine.. however... I disagree on the Jag engine being superior to the standard GM inline. However again... you gotta use what ya got.. :-)

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
 

Least your progress had a squibbly line & not flat line like mine. :lol:
