In the paint shop now!
Well guys it been a long time coming but Project 65 Daily Driver in finally in the paint shop. When I started this project back in 2010 I know it would take a while but honestly I thought, two years at the most,
![]() First I blow it all apart again and started on the hood. First I welded up the seam around the front then I sandblasted everything down to bare metal sprayed it with a spray on body filler and started sanding. ![]() ![]() Then came the front finders, same as the hood, weld up seam and sand. ![]() ![]() The bed was next, this took the most time because I wanted to get all of the waves out. Instead of welding up the seam though I used seam sealer and you guessed it more sanding ![]() It’s kind of hard to see in this photo but I also filled in the slots in the vent cowl ![]() Finally I shaved off the vertical drip rail ![]() Well it’s in the paint shop now and if all goes well I’ll have it back the middle of Aug. Sometimes I ask myself if this is really the end and I’m finally done. The answer --- Hell no! In case you’re wondering what I started with here’s my first post. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=405551 |
