Yes it was a selfie in the mirror because I didn't like the way the pics turned out when I tried with the lens facing me...

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...

Martin over in the UK scored a sweet print at a swap meet and was kind enough to email me a copy…

Then as a surprise he mailed a very good copy of his print...

Here's a pic of the original, then a colored version I did of the digital copy he sent...

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...

Another few steps forward…

Picked up My "new to me" Headers, cleaned them up and shot VHT Header Paint on them…

Had to take a pic of my dusty arm… Got the Fender I repaired ready for primer…

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...

Colored puc looks great Don.

What did you use for the coloring??

Reminds me of those pics Nicola took of my truck.


Your headers seem a bargain and have come out well.

Had a busy weekend myself.

Building this..... http://www.volkszone.com/VZi/showthread.php?t=1072873

And scored a block and tackle for the garage too (free)

Your body work is looking mighty fine. The tail lights are really cool as do the headers.

Free is always good!
Thanx for the compliment on the pic... I use Prismacolor colored pencils… That was a quick color study, and I plan on making a few adjustments on the final one I will display in my Workshed...

Thanx Martin… The poster you sent will be framed and proudly displayed in my Tattoo Work Station... I ended up using 1 can per header...

Thanx Brother!!! Fairly pleased with the fender after shooting a coat of rattle can Primer, although there are a couple of small issues that I spotted with the primer applied... Just get to do some more sanding and break out the Dolphin Glaze Putty JMo hooked me up with. Then will be ready to shoot some primer onto the fenders… next up… Finish the inner fenders to get them in primer, then it will be time to tackle the Driver's door...
Have a Blessed Day Brother, hope you can make it up this way soon!

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...

Scored a set of doors cheap…

After looking at the amount of time I have in repairing one fender, I decided to pull the trigger on these doors. I will do some learning on my doors in the future.

These are close to being ready to put together and hang as soon as I get the cab re-mounted... just gotta address the mirror mounting holes and the custom trim holes...

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...

Thanx Guyz…

After looking at the amount of time I put into the one fender...
Which was my first attempt at a major rust repair… I decided that $125 for 2 doors would be a wise investment. The time savings alone makes the price bearable.

Plans are to get truck drivable... then hone some Metalworking and Body Skillz on the doors that were originally on the truck...

Thanx again for looking in on me… Plans for a busy upcoming Sunday and Monday...
