Well how did we do? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

AH619 · 03-25-2010, 05:08 PM

ILL START YOU OFF WITH THE DONOR THAT WE STARTED WITH. 68 SWB WITH A FROZEN BLOCK AND NO GOOD PANELS. WE ENDED UP USING THE FENDERS, DRIVER INNER FENDER AND FRAME.

AH619 · 03-25-2010, 05:12 PM

Then we tore into it and pulled it down to the frame. Where we sandblasted it and the donor disc brake. We painted the frame and rolled it to the side

AH619 · 03-25-2010, 05:18 PM

Then we tore it down to the frame and sandblasted the frame and donor 5 hole front end, painted them and replaced the 6 lug axles in the rear end. By the way this is my 16 year olds second truck. His name is logan, thats him doin the blasting

AH619 · 03-25-2010, 05:21 PM

Meanwhile we built the motor. Its a 355 flat top that thumps.

AH619 · 03-25-2010, 05:26 PM

Meanwhile we replaced the rockers, corners and floors. Painted the inside and inside parts such as fenders, inners and under hood

AH619 · 03-25-2010, 05:29 PM

Then we picked a good day last fall and stabbed the engine, tranny and set the cab on and started assembly. At this point we had all the body work done except the bed.

AH619 · 03-25-2010, 05:34 PM

Logan then started driving it around a little with no bed. We shure could do some awesome burnouts. We spent the winter blocking and streightening the bed. Heres what we started with.

AH619 · 03-25-2010, 05:50 PM

Then last friday 03-19-10 we pulled it into a friends paint booth. We shot the copper friday night, saterday we spent about 4 hour making shure our stripes were even. Then we shot the champaighn (silver) then 2 coats of clear and were home by 6 pm. Then sunday after church we put it togather enough to drive it home. Heres what we ended up with. These pics are before it was completely reassembled.

AH619 · 03-25-2010, 05:57 PM

Here are some more

uno67 · 03-25-2010, 06:12 PM

great attention to detail, kid should be very happy.

Security guy · 03-25-2010, 06:17 PM

Dang dude! Love the paint job. The stripes really set it apart from others. How long did the build take from start to finish? Great job!

AH619 · 03-25-2010, 06:27 PM

We bought it on 9/9/08 and still have a couple things to do, so roughly 18 months.

BLACK AND BLUE 67-72 · 03-25-2010, 06:37 PM

About time you got some pics on here!! LOL It turned out great, I'm glad you stopped by to show it to me!!

**leddzepp** · 03-25-2010, 06:39 PM

dhaymaker · 03-25-2010, 06:51 PM

That's a nice color combination. I'm always interested in seeing colors that are a little different, or colors that get away from the "standard". Looks like you guys are doing a really nice job!

vectorit · 03-25-2010, 07:07 PM

Very nice work!
I like the paint and theme, well done.

epashhans · 03-25-2010, 07:11 PM

Very nice! I like seeing something out of the norm. I would consider getting that kid a paint respirator though...

VA72C10 · 03-25-2010, 07:13 PM

Very nice work!!! Ya done good

68shortstep · 03-25-2010, 07:17 PM

Looks VERY professional. He ought to be very proud of his (& your) work on this project, and the memories of time well-spent working together on it will last him a lifetime.

Congratulations.

I'll look for it when I pass thru Harrison from time to time.

Missing mine .................
