Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
More blocking and shaping the drip rail getting both sides the same shape. What a PITA. :uhmk:
To see the flaws better I sprayed some primer on it. http://belair.smugmug.com/Other/1965...P1050649-L.jpg http://belair.smugmug.com/Other/1965...P1050641-L.jpg It's really time consuming. I'll be back on it today, still need to mud the back. |

Last week I got the front end put back on the 57 Sedan Delivery. Just some pictures of how handy it is to own a lift.

Just click on http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/i.../newthread.gif Then give it a title, and start posting pictures with a url code which means you have to have your pictures saved in Photo Bucket, or Smug Mug like I do. Then when you open up your picture, right click on it and copy, then click on the picture box above like this one. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/i...nsertimage.gif Then paste it in this box. I hope this make sense. :uhmk:

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
Dennis I am having a really hard time keeping you working on your truck without Dave around to help out.
I like the looks of the shaved drip rail!!!:smoke: It looks like you have enough projects going on!!! |
Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
Yeah, tell me about it. I just took in a 1940 Ford Deluxe Woodie for a frame off restoration. Also a 71 Caddy convertible is coming in as soon as I sell that Ranchero. The customer has them lined up for me. Then he has a 1960 MG for me to put together. :uhmk::uhmk::uhmk: And I'm supposed to be semi retired. :but::lol:

Archery followed by rifle ...Deer then elk with wolf season at any time. He usually comes home when he gets something or the checkbook is empty. Maybe he took the money tree with him. I think that is why he stays self employed, so he can take off September and October to camp in the woods. I dont hunt anymore, We just camp ,drink, ride 4 wheelers and watch football and call it man camping. Bonfires and camp cooking. We take usually 6 to 8 5th wheels/ trailers/motor homes, at least 4 generators, a satellite dish and several TVs. I did buy a wolf tag this year in case one wanders into camp. We have a nice spot just off the highway where nobody goes , there is not any game there to bother us and it is a great camping spot!!! Three miles from the liqueur store and gas station in town. |

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
Greg, the customer is having the MG painted, then will bring it to me. I hate putting something together that was taken apart by someone else. :waah:

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
it helps if you have an assembled car next to the one youre working on to see how it used to go together

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
My son just made the cover of Cafe Racer, and also a article about him and his shop in Skinnie Magazine. I'm so proud of him.

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
It wouldn't be the first time. This is his truck, and the next picture is one of the trucks he built.
http://belair.smugmug.com/Other/Jays...42_3t89w-L.jpg http://belair.smugmug.com/Other/Jays...31_eGe7g-M.jpg Plus he's on HD Theater in Cafe Racer. He was on last year, and will be on more this year. Coming up soon in the 13th episode. |
