wow !

Re: 1968
 

Awesome! I wish i had room for a wider car cover.

I have a question, the fan in the pic, that's to bring air in so your make shift paint booth has got positive air pressure correct? what about an exit? Thanks!

Re: 1968
 

thanks Brian I am glad the painting is over except for the runs. I will take care of later.

Re: 1968
 

The other end I made a door and the fan is to keep the mist or spray out. The air come from the other end.

Re: 1968
 

Thanks I like it myself.

Re: 1968
 

Nice job Sir. That looks great

Re: 1968
 

WHOOOOOOOO George! Git ya some! Looks terrific! Downhill from here!

Re: 1968
 

thanks BOMP and LOW ELCO I still have some touch uo to do.
I repainted the steering column orange today.It was black and I put in kinda in the truck and i didn't like the way it looked. So i light sanded it and shoot the orange to it. I really am glad i did it orange. it looks a lot better now. Maybr tomorrow i will install the steering column in the truck.

Re: 1968
 

Here are a couple pictures of the painted items I shoot orange
Mounted the hood but it is not adjusted right. I need to mount the cowl first. It rained today and my cover leaks. So that is why I mounted the hood. To keep the engine compartment dry.
Mounted the parking brake
But then it came to a halt. I could not adjust the column distance without the PS coulper. I had one but it was the wrong one. So I will take it back to Auto Advance for the right one. he said it will be in tomorrow. So then I can mount the cupler shaft also and get that right.

Re: 1968
 

Really diggin the pic of the cab and front end sittin there after gettin sprayed.

Re: 1968
 

Did you put that hood on all by yourself? I'd ruin my new paint for sure..

Re: 1968
 

No i got my neighbor to help. he is building a 1949 ford and we help each other out.

Re: 1968
 

I started putting the truck back together. But thank so much.

Re: 1968
 

Today I installed the rag joint and got the shaft and steering column at the proper distance. the only thing I forgot was the netual safty switch. But I thing I can do it anyway.
I have to put the E-brake cable under neath the shaft. The old girl has been setting here so long that it has spider webs on the brakes when i pulled the front wheel to get to the steering shaft.

Re: 1968
 

After I installed the column I sanded the cowl and re-painted it. It just didn't look right. Now it is sweet.

Re: 1968
 

keep it up!

Re: 1968
 

I was always told never to paint at night without some good light. For the next day I had to repaint the cowl. But, it looks great now. There is something about God's light that makes a difference.

thanks all you guys for stopping by and reading my build. I hope to re-paint the bed this next week. It does not have the shine as the rest of the truck and it is a little difference in the color. I bought another gallon of paint with different lot numbers. So it did not match just right.

Re: 1968
 

i know what you mean! Gods light shining in the garage really seems to light things up way better than any shop lights :metal::metal:

Re: 1968
 

George just rub the paint on the bed I think it will shine up if not then no loss you were gonna repaint it anyway.

Re: 1968
 

Yea there is something about God's light. He works wounders for me.

Re: 1968
 

I thought about that too. But there is a light spot that needs some love anyway. thanks and how is your build coming along.

Re: 1968
 

I started mounting the doors today. I got the drivers side done. I had to pull the fender to adjust the door. No problem. I will mount the fender back on the truck tomorrow. Should I mount the fenders first or should I mount the cowl first? The then hood. Don't mind working on the truck but don't want to have to do it all over again.

Re: 1968
 

Awesome, George!

Re: 1968
 

George it doesnt matter which way you do it the end result is the same.

Re: 1968
 

The cowl will mount after the fenders as it covers the top 2 fender mounting bolts.
