Looking good. Glad to see another person from up in this part of the state.

Just keep plugging along, and you'll get it taken care of - the rust repairs look spot on.

What're your ultimate plans for the ol' girl?

i hope to drive it to school in the fall if we get it registered and insured which hasn't happened yet....
I'm not going to drive it in the winter at all though not worth it for all the work i put into it.
my old man is looking at a zr2 that we may get and it would be my daily driver sorta.

just did some work
got the inner bedsides cleaned up wire brushed them and undercoated them looks clean few holes but nothing to worry about for my purposes
also wire brushed the headache I'm going to be using hopefully I'm going to start building the cross members this weekend

i got some money together and im going to get a 5" drop kit for the rear hopefully ill let you know if i get it ordered .
sorry no pics no cameras around the house i don't know where they all went... ill have some up tonight though
TRAVIS.

[threeonthetree]

this is what i got done this weekend.
undercoated the bedsides


building the box out of this

and as most of you know i messed my fender up

good weekend all in all
saw a bada$$ 66 today lowered flat black
and a 73+ chevy stepper lowered flat black to it was mean also

[threeonthetree]

went to Colorado over the weekend my cousin got married there.
drove there what a long drive 26 hours non stop.
i want to move out west the rocky own all.. and i saw so many nice trucks and cars and ran into a pretty good car show. didn't have any 67-72 though.
so i didn't really get anything done till i got back today
i made this for the three on the tree
hoping to get some work done tomorrow its gonna rain....ill keep you posted

[samwise68]

Yup, it's raining pretty good up here at the moment.

Good work so far, now take advantage of the weather and get to the garage! Haha, that's where I'm going right now..

Oh, and if you haven't, check out harbor freight or a liquidation store for a cheap hammer and dolly set. You might be able to save your fender, and if not, it's good practice for a skill that comes in very handy. Just a thought.

Keep at 'er!

-Sam.

[threeonthetree]

I wanted to do some work but my sister wanted to look at her car a Honda because it has loud exshaust.
Wasted my day screwing with the damn car.
Then I biked this new skatepark in town

I want to do somthing tomorrow
I ordered a drop kit for the rear yesteday.
5" drop
So I'm going to wire brush and paint the axle and control arms
Install the drop
I am going to cut the fronts to a 3" drop and clean all of that up. Paint the control arms. And the frame

[threeonthetree]

I also cut my eyebrow open and had to go to the hospital. They glued it shut
I was walking down the stairs.and hit my head on the corner of the wall

Does anyone know where I could get those American racing center cap 2 are missing
I want some rallies I hate these rims
I need to paint what would be a mix to get a flat
I have gloss black A reducer and a flat which all came from napa
What would be the mix to get a flat like my truck
Thanks for the advice

[threeonthetree]

okay got the front end taken apart
well one side
got my 5'' rear drop ordered i hope it comes tom if not next week.
here are some pics of what a did today.

[oldblue1968chevy]

sounds good! dont see pics just lil red boxes..but your makin more progress than me.....

just keep lookin you'll find a set of rallys..i looked and looked and looked....found 3 bought em..then found a pianted with rings for what i gave for 3 rusty ones..

too bad your not closer

[threeonthetree]

can anyone see pics????
well i got the rest done today tore the other side apart and cut the springs and put it all back together.
pretty good after noon




bondo hah my dad has the welder at work so i just put some on to see if i could fix that.

i hope the springs settle in lower

[samwise68]

Looking good man. I give you major props, you're getting stuff done!

On the dent, if you didn't already, I'd try to pound out that dent a little just to minimize the amount of bondo.

grab a hammer, and a chunk of 2x4, and give 'er. Just remember, the last part of the dent to go in, is the first to come out. And if I remember right, the warping looked like it was locked in minimally. You could pretty easily bump it out to only a few minor low spots, and then fill it. I think you'd be happier with the overall finish, coming from someone who threw bondo at their truck like an angry monkey flings crap.

Aside from that, I dig the stance. It should settle a bit more, but even at that, I like the rake. But, thats just me.

-Sam.

[threeonthetree]

went for a ride in her
got a few pics.
