Re: 66 C10 Project SWB

Wow can't believe it was December since my last post. Ive made some decent head way on the bed. It was sprayed with Eastwood's grey 2k epoxy primer. This stuff has some bite. Painted on some black Rustoleum on the under side of the bed and the bed rails.















I took the cab and some of the other body parts to a media blaster for striping. First time using a professional blaster and it will be the only way I go from now on. Takes a lot of the bad out of restoring body parts. I did find a few spots of rust that I didn't notice before. I guess its better to fix it now then to keep on rusting and mess with any final finish later. Once I got is back from being striped I sprayed the same epoxy primer on all the bare parts. Then I sat it back on the frame with new poly body mounts. I didn't bolt it down but I wanted to make sure the replaced cab corners matched up with the bed. It came out better than I thought.











More to come...
