I forgot to mention that the upper rain gutters were rusty so I cut them out and welded new sheet metal. Took a lot of time to get them to look strait and back to factory.

XxCHEVYMANxX · 09-04-2011, 07:16 PM

Nice job! keep up the good work.

**landarts** · 09-04-2011, 07:15 PM

Next up for sanding and finalizing for paint will be the bed and the buddy bucket seat structure. The bed now has all bodywork finished, 2 coats of 2K filler primer. Now it needs guide coat and wet sanding. Buddy bucket structure needs degreaseing, sandblasting and check welds before priming and painting.

**landarts** · 09-07-2011, 01:29 AM

Hey thanks for the props, its been fun and a learning experience.

**landarts** · 09-09-2011, 02:11 PM

No work on the "fixurupr" today, son 67 needing a tune up. Changed oil, filter, plugs, cap, rotor and points. Trying to figure out the dwell settings now.

**landarts** · 09-12-2011, 01:12 PM

Finished up the bed and fenders for the final round of spot putty and 320 grit sanding this weekend. Today working on the hood and grill, spot putty and 320 grit sanding.

Last thing which is next is to go over the inside and outside of the cab with the same process.

Bought base/clear paint and sealer this weekend.....getting close!

Going with Chevrolet Le Mans Blue Metallic

XxCHEVYMANxX · 09-12-2011, 04:47 PM

Yea Le Mans Blue is a nice color. I remember having that much room in my garage. now when I need a table for parts sorting or tools, it's a 4x8 sheet of plywood on the truck frame

. at least I can roll it out of the way.
keep at it, lookin good.

**landarts** · 09-12-2011, 05:23 PM

I heard you on that one, no matter how large they are a mess seems to happen by the end of the day. Once the painting is out of the way I wont have the inside of the garage looking like a wrecking yard with parts all over the place.

**landarts** · 09-19-2011, 06:51 PM

Finished off both front fenders, cab rockers and re-filled the inside rain gutters that were replaced. Few more days and shooting for this weekend for color!

68 TT · 09-21-2011, 12:43 PM

Nice progress and collection of trucks. I thought I was bad with three

**landarts** · 09-23-2011, 11:10 AM

Thanks for the props. Im in the home stretch on getting this thing ready for paint. Items that are ready for paint are the front fenders, hood, bed and doors. Need to do the final prepping of the cab, tailgate and cowl today.

Then I need to clean out garage, get plastic up for a temporary paint booth with fan and filters. Looks like I will be shooting base and clear on Sunday!

**landarts** · 09-23-2011, 11:14 AM

If all goes well on Sunday with the paint I will probably take a week off from the truck before I start putting it back together.

First items that will get done is the Raptor liner in the bed and hang the front clip on. Im going to wait on the doors until my buddy bucket seats are done and the new wiring harness is installed. I think it will give me a little more room to work while wrapping up the wiring.

**landarts** · 09-26-2011, 09:58 AM

Got Paint! Was able to get the inside of the cab shot with base/clear Sunday.

The color is 1969 Le Mans Blue - S.W. crossfire with S.W. clear , shot with devilbliss gun.

Did the final once over with guide coat, used the S.W. 2k sealer, then 3 coats of color and 2 coats of clear.

tanman722001 · 09-26-2011, 11:31 AM

looks good.love that blue

VA72C10 · 09-26-2011, 01:45 PM

XxCHEVYMANxX · 09-26-2011, 05:57 PM

OH Yea! that's lookin nice.

68 TT · 09-27-2011, 12:06 AM

Nice work and color choice. I had a 69 Camaro that was the same color.

cokeb · 09-27-2011, 12:08 AM

looks sharp! Can't wait to see it in person.

Craig

**landarts** · 09-27-2011, 11:24 AM

Thanks for all the props. Its really nice to see color on the truck. It seemed as though that day would never come when I was sanding, sanding and more sanding.

**landarts** · 09-28-2011, 01:23 PM

Moving on to the painting the smalls. Like the glove box, tilt column, base for buddy buckets, steering wheel and door hinges. Will post pictures after they are done.

Hey I was just in Idaho last month. I was visiting family there that lives in Star. Very nice area. I went to a couple junk yards in Nampa to see if I could find parts for my 72, but had no luck.

**landarts** · 09-28-2011, 08:31 PM

Did you make it over to jalopy jungle? I go there on a regular basis about every two weeks. The always seem to have a few of our trucks for pulling parts off of. I actually moved from Eagle to Star as couple of months ago. Next time you are in the area let me know. We can get together with a few others from the site that I know.

**landarts** · 09-29-2011, 12:37 PM

Here a few more pictures from yesterdays painting of some of the small interior objects.

1 coat of sealer
3 coats of base
2 coats of clear
A bunch of satisfaction - Priceless
