Re: '55 International Metal/Body/Paint Work
Absolutely love it. But you knew that already. Probably my favorite build on here due to your details.

Re: '55 International Metal/Body/Paint Work
Thanks for sharing.
You could make videos on how to do body work and all the necessary stuff needed for a quality paint job. And I would buy it immediately!!! |

Finished the bed today! Ok we only finished the bodywork but it feels good to have that behind me! Just needs wetsanding with 280/500 and I can paint it. Then wetsand it three more times after it's painted, and buff it twice, then polish it... ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

And that was with 220 grit scratches showing through... ![]() The owner sent me a picture of his progress last night. He's got it running and took a test drive around the yard. He's finishing up the wiring now. We'll have it back over at our shop soon to install/align the front clip and doors, and install the glass. ![]()

Re: '55 International Metal/Body/Paint Work
Installed a few parts this morning.
There are two different profiles for the door seals, one for the front and one for the top/back. I scuffed the paint before brushing on glue so the glue won't flake off later. Also cleaned the seals with 3M adhesive remover so the glue had a clean surface to stick to. ![]() ![]() Rear "L" shape seal installed and coated with Duragloss dressing. ![]() I cut the seam at an angle for a better seal. ![]() Front/flat seal installed. ![]() Rear window seal needed to be cleaned and dressed with Duragloss before installing. ![]() After cleaning and installing the glass. ![]() Headlights assembled. ![]() ![]() Ash tray installed. ![]()

Only one nit pic.....that new-fangled wiper switch has got to go!
![]() Awesome work as usual.. Not a truck someone would normally think of restoring to such detail, but will be sure to draw a crowd when it's done. ![]()
