Re: 1965 chevy truck one piece @a time
 

Ok Who left the north door open it was 70 Saturday this morning it was 29
spent the in the shopr repainting the dash I wet sanded it with 600 grit to get it down to the base coat to repaint it . it would lift i try to use a primer to keep it from lifting no go . so i just stripped it back down to bare metal
reprimed and reshot the the base. and did the colum parts and big block mounts
didn't get to shoot the clear i need one more good coat of base .
Dad thought i was crazy for shooting when it was 31 out side and wind blowing around 20 to 30 miles an hour .. but the shop was 75 in side :devil::metal:

They cut and mocked up the inner wheel wells for the poor man prostreet
and cut the metal plate next will be welding the angle strips in then have
the plate and bed line x then when i get it home ill install the wood after i sand and poly the wood ... :metal::chevy: i likes how the plate has all the holes cut already no drilling . Took Murry an hour to program all the setting on the cutting table and 15 min to cut the plate .

Re: 1965 chevy truck one piece @a time
