Nice work!!
it will be super sweet when you are done, if you are ever able to reach such an elusive place

Alan's Classic · 12-22-2009, 01:06 AM

Really nice progress.

srsummers · 12-22-2009, 08:09 AM

Thanks Guys. This has been all I have being doing in my spare time since May. It just seems like I have been making fast progress because I posted it all at once. It's been taking forever in my book.

MacAttack · 12-22-2009, 12:24 PM

This shot made my left arm go numb.........

DaddyMack · 12-22-2009, 01:20 PM

Yes, I bought the frame paint from the sam place that did my powdercoating.I went with a different color because it didn't quite match the powder coat. I actaully like the Rustolem Hammered paint better. It seems more durable and a lot less exspensive.

srsummers · 03-28-2010, 12:51 AM

Time for some updates, it's been really long time. Hers is my first attempt at body work.

**scotts62** · 03-28-2010, 12:56 AM

Ah dang no pics...

VA72C10 · 03-28-2010, 01:02 AM

Pics work now. Truck is looking good!!!

srsummers · 03-28-2010, 01:05 AM

After about 20+ hours in one fendor, I learned that $240 was a small price to pay for a new fendor...lesson learned. Bolted on nicely.

Here's the color I went with. It is a Squeeges Epoxy primer satin (although it looks glossy in this pic).

**scotts62** · 03-28-2010, 01:06 AM

Hey looking good!!

Whos truck in the last pic?

srsummers · 03-28-2010, 01:14 AM

On to the rear...

srsummers · 03-28-2010, 01:17 AM

Believe it or not, those are 4" drop springs. Here's the fuel cell. I found this tank on CL brand new for $75. It took a little fab, but it's going to work.

VA72C10 · 03-28-2010, 01:31 AM

Wow, great progress!!!

srsummers · 03-28-2010, 10:14 AM

Thanks VA72C10. It's been a slow process. I'll take some more pic of the painted/primered front clip. I am currently doing the body work on the hood (which is hammered) and I am trying to spray the bed this weekend. I would really like to get it back on the road (this is the best time of the year in AZ)and take it to the car show that I took it to last year. Only this year there will be more trophies for me. My father in-laws 67 should be there also, pending some finishing touches. No way I stand a chance against this.

*LILRED66* · 03-28-2010, 11:52 AM

I like what you are doing. Nice progress and very nice pictures. Keep up the good work and keep those photos flowing. Take care and good luck in the upcoming shows.

srsummers · 03-30-2010, 12:35 AM

Here's the front clip painted and back on.

srsummers · 03-30-2010, 12:39 AM

Here's the bed before and after. I'm going to scuff the bed and shoot one more coat. The nats and other misc flying bugs were getting in the paint...ah the wonders of a backyard paint job.

srsummers · 03-30-2010, 12:42 AM

srsummers · 03-30-2010, 12:47 AM

That's my father in-law in the after pics. I told him he could practice on the part of the bed that couldn't be seen.

Oh, I almost forgot...I got the proto type done. A friend of mine gave me a 63 Hotwheel. I took it apart and painted it the same color. This was mucher easier (and cheaper) than the real thing.

VA72C10 · 03-30-2010, 12:51 AM

Looks really good. You've made some great progress!!!

collins10672 · 03-30-2010, 01:55 AM

looking good,keep up the good work.
