Re: '66 Project in Texas
I should preface this with the fact that I did not know how to work on cars let alone restore one when I bought this...I bought it to learn and if I knew then what I know now I would have bought the stinking complete rocker panel....I was too dumb to buy a new one so I made that piece....

Re: '66 Project in Texas
So this is the part where it took me a week to sandblast the frame because I didn't know that my air compressor wasn't big enough to air up a lawn mower tire.
I got a big 80 gallon to do the body....still took forever. Last edited by Chuck Nukem; 01-16-2016 at 01:10 AM. |

Re: '66 Project in Texas
More torture pics...I did the sandblasting in July at my friends house. The most amusing thing happened when one of his fathers workers (father pours concrete for a living) came up to me and said "Man you sandblast that whole truck?!?....you are working too hard" You know you screwed up when a Mexican concrete worker tells you that you are working too hard...

Re: '66 Project in Texas
Now for the bodywork....I was on crunch time with this as the plan was to tear the abandoned house that I was using to paint the truck down in October of '15...Well October came and went and I still wasn't done...so I had to call for backup!

Re: '66 Project in Texas
I flew my friend down from Connecticut to help me do bodywork...and my mom even came to help! I gave her a sander and turned her loose...she can do bodywork now!
