Re: My 56 build
So the big brown truck brought me a wire harness. So I’ve been tinkering with that for 2 days. Still looks like a mess, but everything is in place and temporarily run. Figured I’d work out as much under dash wiring before I weld in the dash!

Re: My 56 build
Dash is welded in. No problem getting the vintage air unit in. I have a good start on the bed wood.

Re: My 56 build
Nice metal work on the console and dash extension. The curves in the steel are nice, and and they blend together perfectly. That's tricky stuff to do. The entire box is looking pretty darn sharp too!

Thanks, after the box and seatbelts I’m going to start laying body filler.

Re: My 56 build
It’s just minwax water based stain. I’m using semi-transparent because I still want to see the grain. I choose to use pine for the same reason. Oak grain is much finer. First pictures of the wood has one coat and the last picture has two. I’m planning on one coat. I don’t want to loose the grain in the dark stain.

Re: My 56 build
Spent some time in the basement today. Outside temperature was only in the single digits so not a good day to heat the garage. So I got all the bed wood stained. Next is the clear.

Re: My 56 build
Nice, I like it. I was thinking about doing pine, and burning it with a torch.

Re: My 56 build
Thanks guys. I’m really happy with the way it’s coming out. I believe the burnt wood process is called shousugi ban. If I were going black I’d definitely do it! Hope it turns out bigglass. I’ll probably start clear coating tomorrow.

Re: My 56 build
Burnt pine is very stripey... if you want that look, then pine is definitely the right choice! If you want a consistent dark tone, a hardwood will burn more evenly. It's a good choice though, naturally weather-resistant!

Re: My 56 build
Thanks guys. I put the first coat of clear on the bottom and didn’t like how much blond wood was still showing. So I applied a second coat of stain. Now it may be too dark.

Re: My 56 build
![]() ![]() this one takes a lot of will power ... i re-did a bathroom and got the drywall JUST right, only to have the wife gouge it in a few spots while painting. drove me up the wall! but no one ever noticed with the room finished, even i stopped noticing after a few weeks, and it simply didn't matter. since then i really try to step back on some things and think "will anyone but me (and my buddies who nitpick everything just to give me sh!t) notice?" |
