Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

You're killin me. The bed looks great! Gotta get off my butt and do some sanding.

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

Bed looks great! What kind of primer are you using? Is that polyurethane? I have been seeing a lot of that yellow looking primer around. I never used any like that.

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

It's epoxy pimer, my friend uses the Matrix system at his body shop, but the next one i will attempt myself. My friends have used SPI epoxy primer and it lays nicely. Contact Barry at Southern polyurethane inc.

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

Heath the bed looks amazing!

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

Ok Heath... you're making me feel like I've been depriving my project. I guess I need to get some work done on mine today and post some pictures tonight on my build thread.

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

HOLY CRAP, i do not check this for a bit and you get this much done, all i can say is wow, that is progress, getting that much closer.

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

Sheet metal looks Great. Nice Build

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

SAWEET!!!!....Looking for some color soon!!!

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

I re-read the thread and didn't see you mention anything about the dash pad...but it looks smoothed now...what are your plans with that?

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

Thanks for all the comments guys. I enjoyed doing all the sheetmetal repair, it gave me a new respect for full time body men, and this build has given us countless Father/Son bonding hours.My buddy has been really moving on the final bodywork. I will take him the hood and fenders this week.

We are doing a dash pad delete, as my son likes the smooth look of my '56 dash, so we welded up the holes, and will give him the smooth dash.

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

Nice what color will it be ...

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

It will be 2-tone, my son is still contemplating colors.......

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

Since you mentioned charcoal grey as a possible color earlier and now a two tone, what about something like this?

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

That dash looks pretty sweet...did you do any modifying or fabbing to the ends? I have thought of something like that with the entire dash covered in fabric and the bezels body color...

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

[QUOTE=VA72C10;3507661]Since you mentioned charcoal grey as a possible color earlier and now a two tone, what about something like this?

That is sweet, definately Charcoal grey and gunmetal Grey are two of his favorite colors...... but he has mentioned sunburst orange metallic and black as well....

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

We just filled the holeswith made to fit patches, sanded the contour, we did not do any modification to the ends, he liked the way it went from rounded to flat on the end. Initialy,I was thinking of cutting some round stock in 1/2 and welding to follow the curved edge of both sides, but left as it since he like the look.

Thanks for the Kudo's, it helps keep us motivated...

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

I'll have to agree with this color :D

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

Thanks Geoff...... little Biased with one of the colors i see huh! :lol:

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

I gave my son a lesson in blading lacquer. :metal:

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

This thing is really coming together - I find it hard to read all these build posts usually - but had some time over lunch today to kill and read a few - nice work so far - this will be a nice truck in the end.

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

Thanks for the compliment, this helps keep us motivated..... and believe me it's hard to keep a 16 yo motivated alot of the times, but he has done good thus far.

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

Nice work Heath and son....I was looking for a smashed phone from where you took it from him while he was texting and smashed it on the floor:lol:

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

Awesome work Heath!

Tell him he should be proud of his progress thus far.

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

Looking good as usual. Nice progress. Glad you're working together on this.
