Very cool Ronnie. You gonna put these projects in the "Alternate tinkerings" forum?

Is that for tinkering around :lol: That's where my truck belongs, doesn't look like I will ever get done with it.

Re: 198Plus build
 

You know I own a body shop and I have never tried any type of paint in my life.Till this evening, when my guys left today I told them I was going to practice on an old fender we had,They laughed :lol: I told them if it turned out to bad that fender wouldn't be here in the morning for them to make fun of me when they came in to work........I may just hang it on my office wall..........lol

Re: 198Plus build
 

Change in plans again....... I didn't like the way seam sealer turned out on my bedside, I should have welded the seam long ago. Since my bed is almost finished I didn't want to warp the metal. So I first started by drilling very small holes in the seams every 12" then welding each hole, hopefully this will stop any bed flex and then we filled the seams with 3m panel bond to finish the seam.........

Went ahead and welded the back seams

Re: 198Plus build
 

Don't you just hate after thoughts. :uhmk:

Re: 198Plus build
 

You gonna wash my wheels before you bring them over? :haha:

Better to make your truck you want it while you can. Remember I told you if you don't you will be sitting at the car show wishing you had.

In hindsight I would have changed a couple things. ;)

Re: 198Plus build
 

There was a beautiful charcoal gray 64 at a car show not long ago. I was ooowing and aaahhhing and then I walked around back to see that he had deleted the tailgate chains- after he painted it. I hate doing shtuff twice so I guess that's why It's taken me 5 years to get half way done on mine.:banghead:

Re: 198Plus build
 

Ya think :smoke:

Re: 198Plus build
 

Just call me when your on the way and I'll clean them up :lol:

I'm done, if there's anything I've over looked or forgot.......Oh well, it is what it is :lol:

Re: 198Plus build
 

There has to be a time when you say "enough is enough" :lol:
