Re: Project 'ETERNITY' 68 Stepside

Frame back from sandblasting.. man that saved some messy hours or cleaning madness. Well worth the cost.



Painted gloss black with some heavy duty industrial enamal that my paint buddy recommended.



Rear back together with new tank, hidden hitch, and new rear end. Ill eventually swap the drums to disk brakes on the rear.




Picked up a replacement cab that had AC. Its in much better shape than my old one. Sent it off to sand blaster and as usuall a little more rust than expected but nothing to bad. Ive never done sheetmetal work before but always wanted to learn. Bought a mig welder, did gobs of research and hooked up with EB Fabman from this site who lives in my hometown. Bought his DD set on cab repair... Looked it over and decided this isnt rocket science, lets melt some metal!

The swiss cheese passenger side






Time and patience, this isnt that hard and very rewarding to do yourself!



Cleaning up firewall since Ill go with aftermarket AC



Fast forward to 2010! ugggh, and so this is how she sits in my new shop... I tinkered a little putting the door on and planning to install the rocker, mocked up the LT1 motor I picked up...
