Haven't done much to the '73 lately beside drive it. It's been my daily driver for the past couple of months. Anyhow, I scored me a better carb for it the other day for $50. It's running great. Also, one of my 90's style wheel centers was missing the bowtie...Found one at the junkyard the other... $2...

So...a little 'ttt'... $52 of improvement... I plan on spraying it white soon..While the weather's still good. Wish me luck!

Later...jc

Santa Fe's up here at 6500 feet... More of a 'forest' than a desert. It's not a rain forest, but we get a good amount of moisture here. New Mexico is not all a baron desert like in the western movies...

As for the "stable"... Chevy Only Baby! Our blood type is

Chevy

Orange!!

JohnC · 09-15-2009, 04:21 PM

It's like a lot of people think here in Oklahoma are all indians and still live in teepees.

jchav62 · 09-15-2009, 03:24 PM

Thanks! Our junkyard here in Santa Fe is pretty good. What's great about it is the guy selling the parts isn't at all a car guy! He seems to have no idea what some parts are worth. For a while, there was alway at least 3-4 square bodies on the lot, but lately most of them go straight to the crusher... Kinda sad...

Anyhow, it's still there, and still a great resource. Luckily, I already got most of the parts I need...

Update:

I left work early on Thursday, 10/1 to go home and prep my truck for paint. On Friday morning, I took off early to Moriarty. My buddy Abe lives there and he let me use his shop to spray my truck. My other buddy, Greg (65panelrat) drove out from Rio Rancho to give me a hand. THANKS A MILLION GUYS!! Couldn't have done it without you. So here it is...my first paintjob. I did the roof first with the green apple metallic paint that I used for the interior...

jchav62 · 10-06-2009, 12:20 PM

After that was sprayed, we pulled it out the sun for a bit to dry. We then 're-masked' and began spraying the "Rustoleum" satin white...

jchav62 · 10-06-2009, 12:23 PM

My good friend Abe Flores. He was giving me pointers all day. He's a very good, experienced painter. Here he is having my back...he went around her a few times with the gun. You're the man ABE!!

jchav62 · 10-06-2009, 12:25 PM

After the paint dried some, we pulled it out, pulled the paper and put some pieces back on...

Beer time...

jchav62 · 10-06-2009, 12:36 PM

Here's some more pics I took on Saturday morning......

jchav62 · 10-06-2009, 12:37 PM

I installed the tailgate panel...

65panelrat · 10-06-2009, 12:44 PM

Looks sick Bro, I was glad to be part of your build, also glad to drink some beers with bros!

Hoser's Girl · 10-06-2009, 01:32 PM

Very proud.. Though it's not a 'car show' paint job, there's nothing like the feeling of doing it yourself...

JohnC · 10-06-2009, 02:48 PM

It looks awesome man. You did a great job. Are you planning on doing any more of the green, or just the top?

STOCKISH · 10-06-2009, 03:00 PM

Looks kinda cool with the green top. Good job man.

Jonboy · 10-06-2009, 04:18 PM

Looks great! Having the pride of doing it yourself is priceless.

flamingbig10 · 10-06-2009, 04:36 PM
