Rusted beast (66 chevy C10)

[rightpedal]

Hi all

I have lurked for a while and now it is time to show my junk!



This showed up on Bozeman Montana craigslist. I had a freind check it out. His big comment was it is not as bad as your old 60. I think he has some memory loss about my old truck! This thing is east coast style rusty. I can reach under the cowl from the inside and grab the wiper mechanism. ouch!

But since I'm into beating dead horses.





I sanded it down with some 120 grit, taped it off.





The primer is some cheap summit surfacer and the white is satin rustolium cut with about 30% acetone.









The Red is implement paint my old shop mate had laying around.



Not bad for a weekend and $750 total. The white paint and good light hides the huge flaws in the body. Every panel is dented and rusted. The hood is worth saving and that's about it, but we will get to that later.
