Bill,I know you have had some nice lookin`trucks in the past.I`m sure another`s on the way.Do you do your own painting?That`s what I wondered ever since I saw the red and white one show up all fresh painted at one time.They looked nice.

billsbowtie · 09-15-2007, 04:01 PM

yes tim i am a shade tree painter mostly just do my own stuff.

billsbowtie · 09-19-2007, 11:25 PM

i have not did much to it sence my grandson has came. po cut the standard trans. crossmember off even with the frame with a torch and i grinded the 2 top left over pieces off this week and still have the bottom to go. i found me a nice bed for it today but have to save up the $'s for it.

Wow Bill,
Your frame does look really nice. Does the Paint come in a can where you brush it on or is it mix and spray?

billsbowtie · 09-27-2007, 10:56 PM

i got my battery tray,eng. towers, & inner fenders painted today.
guys the black paint is just cheap temp. paint . because i have to work on it in the great out doors i just put the cheaper spray paint on it till i get the hole frame ready to paint with good paint. i will be painting the frame the same color red as the truck. its porshe red i think i mispelled that. it is urethane mixed with reducer and hardner. this is around $200.00 a gallon with reducer and hardner.

billsbowtie · 09-27-2007, 11:01 PM

my inner fenders are new orgi. gm. that i had in my stash.

billsbowtie · 09-29-2007, 11:46 PM

i got the old bed off & got a few more feet of the outer frame cleaned up. i had to cut 1 of the cab mounts off it needs replaced.

Nice to see you puttin' one together instead of takin' it apart

Good luck -Chris

billsbowtie · 10-16-2007, 11:21 AM

chris i have put a few of them together but mostly took them apart over the years. i am getting older now and thought i better put me 1 together while i can still get good orgi. parts.

billsbowtie · 11-01-2007, 02:36 PM

Hey is that cemetary where you get rid of those that hassle you? (think the horrible neighbor thread!!) That is sweet and just goes to show ya, that you don't need a garage or a shop to do this stuff in. I better get to work on the one I am doing!!

westbrookw · 11-01-2007, 05:14 PM

That is an awesome looking frame. I wish I had a digital camera back when I did the same thing to mine. I would call my buddy who lived behind me every morning around 6 am to help me carry my frame into the back yard where I would sand blast. I work the 3-11 shift so daylight was good. I never left it outside for some reason. Always carried it out by hand. Projects have to start somewhere. You seem to have the means to builds an awesome truck. Keep posting up. You are making me want to take my frame back out and do it the same color as the truck.
