true, my boy Clay is being lazy, I tell you what.

Have you gotten the new rendering with the fleetside bed yet and how about an overall shot of the truck.?

no new rendering- but I did recommend advertising with you to Northwest Autofab.

jkaylor68gmc · 08-22-2008, 04:41 PM

Jon, for $4.99 you could have just used this on your old setup and had "nearly" the same outcome!

I'm gonna use it on your grille setup anyways!

bkwagonss · 08-29-2008, 12:05 AM

Any more work on the cab or is it done?
I've been working on my cab and started my build thread.

Barry- two of my freinds that do Mustang restorations are coming down the 13th and 14th of September to knock out the rest of the cab's bodywork. These guys do great work but their time is really limited.

**Palf70Step** · 09-02-2008, 05:41 PM

Don't know how I ever missed gthis thread, but it is looking great. Can't wait to see the final results with the fleetside.

jb4short · 09-13-2008, 07:44 AM

We finally got back to working on the truck. The goal for Friday and Saturday is to get the cab in primer. With a long day yesterday we got some of it done and we'll be back at it today to try to knock it out.

Thanks Mike!

I'm not sure about coming down to the fall show. My wife and I are renovating the other side of the duplex and it's been 16-17 hour days for me the last few weeks. That's about the time we should finish and I can't see my wife going to Carlisle for the first weekend we're free

CURB ALERT IN NJ!

I'll be right up to get that Jon...

I'll take pictures of the FREE, and NEARLY FREE, pile later (chrome inner fenders anyone?). I do need some stuff to start migrating out of here.

chrome inner fenders? not my style but interesting none the less....

I might have another set of grille trim coming... more to follow.

I'm frugal (cheapskate) so keep me in thoughts for anything that falls into that area!

I've got odd stuff like a set of powdercoated motor mounts, a center cross member, an adjustable panhard bar, a set of trailing arms, etc. I'll start cleaning house soon.

jb4short · 09-13-2008, 03:26 PM

not going to be done today. Ran into an issue with a batch of hardener that was bad and lost a couple hours. The guys are going to sand what they have and etch everything that's done so it doesn't rust back up.

67ChevyRedneck · 09-13-2008, 05:17 PM

Cab is looking great!

I like the sign in the windshield... too bad NOBODY is paying attention to it

That's one new "trick" I've learned for my next repaint. It's best to used gloves when doing bodywork.

msgross · 09-13-2008, 08:14 PM

I vote to have the entire cab chromed!!!!

watahyahknow · 09-14-2008, 03:43 AM

Mike, I couldn't figure it out so I threw it out in the warehouse. I think it's some sort of torture device from the 80's
