I notched frame which was the last of the fab work so I put on a coat of por15.

Wow! With your skills you could work at any high-end custom fab shop in the world. Those headers are a work of art. Your Dad raised an amazing young man.

Re: 1964 Sleeper | 5.3 | 75mm turbo | Caged | 4 Link
Thanks everyone! Sorry for lack of updates! Been working on getting the cab all finished up finally. I had a spray can of matching woodland green mixed up so I could match the replaced panels. Also sprayed some rocker guard on floor to make it al little more durable as there will be no carpet.
![]() ![]() Really happy with how the cab turned out. There was a couple times when the cab was all cut apart I started searching the local classifieds for a new cab because I thought there was no way I would be able to pull of the rust repair. ![]() ![]() And some more shots of the frame and motor. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Engine in! ![]() Rolled it out today and got a cool shot with my dads and brothers trucks. 5 generations of chevy trucks! ![]() |

I just removed most of the por15 from my frame. It would chip if I hit it with something then it would start to flake off in places. I ended up just shooting everything in epoxy. Hopefully you have better luck than I did!
