Re: 68' Chevy c10
Ya, what he said ^^^
Looks sweet man! Have any work to do to the wheel? Mine has the typical cracks in the spokes and I'm itchin to see somene restore theirs so I can learn. Hinges are real cool. Why did you choose to powder those vs. paint?

Re: 68' Chevy c10
Hey, looking great. I'll stop in sometime when time allows. Haven't started a build thread yet. I started on the truck, but progress is super slow. I'm waiting till I get farther along and have more time to build and keep a thread going. Gotta finished getting moved!

Re: 68' Chevy c10
More parts getting ready for paint. This being my first build, I'm taking pics of nearly everything. after making it this far through the build I have a real appreciation for the effort involved in competing build. and my truck isn't getting the full tilt treatment some of the rides on this site are. My hats off to all the builders that see the project through to the end. even though we know were never finished.

Re: 68' Chevy c10
All that nitty-gritty has to be time consuming! I've got yards of coffee cans full of little crap that all needs cleaned up and painted. Props on the details!

Re: 68' Chevy c10
While still working on nuts/bolt, and glove box door. I started on the steering wheel. also got steering column down to bare metal, and treated some trouble areas with rust mort. heres pics of the wheel.
mix equal parts A+B. work it down into the cracks. its water soluble so you can wet your finger and smooth it out to eliminate some sanding. this stuff sets up hard as nails ! got a few spots left to do, but my hands were shot.

Re: 68' Chevy c10
If I had to do it again I would use liquid epoxy. I was given this stuff. It would do great if you had to build up, like if you wheel was missing big chunks.

Re: 68' Chevy c10
Is there a liquid product that you'd choose? My wheel is no worse than yours. Looking good man and that is a COOL Chevelle you've got! What do you have planned for that?

Re: 68' Chevy c10
Nice job on the steering wheel and small detailed parts. It makes all the difference at final assembly....
