Re: Old Blue eyeS updates with pics!
Beautiful color choice.
I do have a ?. Have you had the hood stricker plate on the core support yet? The reason I ask is I just mounted my condenser and there wasn't enough room for my condensor to sit that far forward. Just wandering if I could have done something different. Here is a pic of what I'm taliking about. It's hard to tell from this angle, but I only have about an 1/4" of clearance between the condenser and stricker plate. Great work. Keep it up.

hmmmm not sure what you mean. I did have to change out the original one I had because it was too big and wouldnt clear.. but the new one is smaller like yours and seems to fit.

Re: Old Blue eyeS updates with pics!
This is the pic that I was looking at. Do you have a different condenser installed now?

Re: Old Blue eyeS updates with pics!
exactly why I eliminated it.. the only rust was caused by the drip rail. Nice start!!

Re: Old Blue eyeS updates with pics!
The drip rail is there for a reason, drive one in the rain without it and you will see what I mean !! I did the whole roof thing on my 62 a few weeks ago, I just got another roof and made all the repairs inside and outside with the metal from the other truck, yours looks like the exact rust I had...get another roof from any year...the panels are all the same and make the repairs.finding a 60-63 good roof will be near impossible, I looked for 8 years in CA and never found one, let me know if I can help you in any way

Re: Old Blue eyeS updates with pics!
Looks like you used silica sand? The dust from that is very dangerous. Hopefully you wore a good respirator while blasting your truck. The sand that is left on the ground can be a hazard also, especially if you have pets and/ or kids. Certain primers don't adhere well when applied over steel that has been blasted with silica sand.
Not trying to be an ashat, just wanted to warn you in case you didn't know.

Re: Old Blue eyeS updates with pics!
don't get me wrong....I think your truck looks awesome without the drip rail, and if my truck had more severe rust... I would have shaved it too, I just know how my friends trucks leaks without the rail, in Vegas....you just need to have the A/C working and your good lol, ! did you use the vintage air kit on your truck ?

Re: Old Blue eyeS updates with pics!
Thanks guys! yea... totally retro on the scallops.... the original truck was repainted by a previous owner with scallops... who knows what year... but I liked the color combination...and the scallops... so I recreated the look and similar colors... but wanted the flat paint... looks better in person...
the wood is stained... its a color stain... its a new product from home depot... their best.. polymer ...6 years waterproof...the wood is a beautiful oak and was sanded lightly to accept stain... two coats...you can still see the grain... I think it will look good installed, but we will see...
