Frame looks good dude - I'll soon be doing a frame myself. What paint did you use?

lukecp · 11-13-2003, 08:21 PM

Sweet chassis! Looks almost too good to spoil with a body

Iron-Butt · 11-13-2003, 09:03 PM

Great start. Keep on wrenchin on it.

*dtlilly* · 11-13-2003, 09:13 PM

Great start on the 68. That cab looks like it will give you a lot of welding experience

EdB · 11-13-2003, 10:52 PM

Great job on the frame. I bet they never looked that good
when they left the factory.

Thanks everyone, since this is first redo in 9 long years I/m trying to keep low budget,I found a guy to blast and prime the frame for 150 and used restolium industrial enamel on the frame, the cab will be a challenge but I/m looking forward to start, keep thinking about the first cruise.

I like the cab dolley. Do you use a pallet jack to move it around with?

krue · 11-14-2003, 12:32 AM

Most impressive looking frame. I like it a lot! Your setting a high standard for the rest of the truck.

Hooter · 11-14-2003, 03:51 AM

jugernot · 11-14-2003, 04:43 AM
