Thanks, Brother! You do know you're the guy who finally made me get off my butt and get a 60-66, don't ya? The 60-66s were always my favorite, but I was so wrapped up in the other year Chevy trucks that I never owned one. I saw one of your old build threads, and I was on a mission to get one for myself. I'm totally bummed that I won't be able to make it to the One and Done. I have a sneakin' suspicion that there will be other events like that in the future......

Thanks, Chip! I'm happy with the way it turned out. Plus, it gave me something to do at night after work. With my work schedule, once I sit down after dinner in front of the TV, I'm blowing bubbles in about 15 minutes. I'm on a serious time crunch to make Bakersfield in October, so I have to take advantage of every possible free moment to work on the '64.

Thanks, Bomp! I love your attitude and your work quality, and I take your compliment with high regards. I got a lot of pictures to post of some other stuff I did in the last few weeks, so stand by for more propaganda!

CLR does a good job of knocking back existing surface rust, but it doesn't stop it from returning. To make it stop continuing, you might want to try a rust converter. Rust converter turns rust black, and I don't want that on the outside of the truck staining the old white lacquer. One of the mistakes I made was that I CLR'd the truck a little too early in the build. Some surface rust has returned, and each time you remove it, you run the risk of removing more exterior paint in the process. I want to keep as much of the original paint as I can, so I'm holding off on doing any more CLR until I'm ready to shoot clear on the entire outside of the truck to seal it off.
