A little progress

These days I seem to never find the time I need to work on my 70 project. I found a little time last week and finished the prep work on the firewall and bottom of the cab and was able to get them painted up. I then set the cab down on the nearly finished chasis. Here some shots of the project in order to inspire myself and others. John

Re: A little progress

Now that's what I call progress. I'm pretty sure I would eat off that frame....it just depends what you are serving!

Re: A little progress

Sand blsted the frame and then hand sanded it again with 180 to open the pores and gurantee a much better adhesian for the epoxy paint and then top coated with a chasis black. No more trim on this one. Keeping it clean and mean, thanks I will some day do a build write up on it it. John

Re: A little progress

John, that is awesome, nice work! If that's not motivation for some of us, then I don't know what is.

Re: A little progress

Nice work. Frame looks great and probably a lot cheaper than my powdercoating job.
