Re: 64 C10 Stepside "Jaybird"
This morning I finished the bodywork on the roof and the radio patch. Shot some primer also. I missed one little dent on the roof right where the shelf starts in the back. I should be able to fix it with glazing putty. I still need to do a little bit of feathering on the radio bodywork. Need to block sand the inside and shoot the epoxy sealer primer hopefully this weekend.

Re: 64 C10 Stepside "Jaybird"
Shot the firewall, floor, and backwall. I ran out of paint though so it will need another coat.
   My evercoat rage arrived today so I will continue work on the back of cab and roof and hopefully get it ready for some White by the end of the week. Bret

Re: 64 C10 Stepside "Jaybird"
Well, it seems, depending on our logistics that mate Martin and I will be in the USA in October next year.
Need to figure out logistics etc...... Here is a great thread for you on various mechanisms to fit truck cabs solo http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=652804 I do not know if the measurements Martin got you were enough, but if not, let him know what you need. May catch you later on Skype, if I can figure it out.

Kind of at a stand still on the cab right now. I had ordered some Evercoat rage filler from Amazon. It arrived Monday and I had planned to finish the roof and the back wall bodywork but it arrived with no hardener.  I contacted Amazon and they made it right by sending me a whole new can with hardener. Said they can't ship back the other can so it is mine to keep or throw away. So they made good on their mistake and I basically got a free quart out of it. All I need to do is buy the $4 hardener. But it is not arriving until Friday. So I won't be able to use it til Saturday thus I probably won't get the top of the cab in color as I was wanting to by this weekend but oh well. I might do some sandblasting today as it it going to be cool.

Re: 64 C10 Stepside "Jaybird"
Did some sandblasting this morning and got the parts in primer. The wife made chili and corn bread for lunch so that constituted a nap! After that repaired 2 chainsaws, the lawnmower, changed some light bulbs in the kitchen, and then vacumned up the shop and it was quitting time.
Mostly heater parts and some other miscellaneous parts.    I'm going to have a massive painting session here soon. I have so many parts in primer that need to be shot with color.

Drooling for your dinner, despite the fact we had roast chicken, potatoes and roast vegetables, followed by red berry fruits, crushed meringue nests, a dash of ice cream with whipped cream on top...... Nicola made us a "last supper" in the kitchen as the builder is coming in today to repair the ceiling, replaster the walls which are textured etc.... So we will not have a kitchen for a while as he fits us into his regular job, but it saves a lot of money. Looked at all your primed up parts and have to say, you seem to have boundless energy. Looking forward to your truck coming together.

PS. Need to figure out your corn bread though...... No idea how to make it, but suspect I will love it.

Re: 64 C10 Stepside "Jaybird"
Got some work done on the 64' today. It was sunny and 75*. Crazy Tx weather. It was 43* and raining 2 days ago.
I made some more progress on the cab. I had one more dent on the front of the roof I took care of. Then I laid down the seam sealer in the drip rail. Was going to shoot it with surface primer and block but I ran out of seam sealer about 3/4 of the way through. Have another tube on the way should be here on Tuesday so I can finish on Turkey day. Bad pic  Since I was stalled on top I decided to tackle the bodywork on the back of the cab. It was in pretty rough shape. A big dent right below the window and various across the back rail. I had 4 filler sessions and I think I have it as good as this amateur is going to get it.    I also discovered why 2 of my brand new tires kept going down. The inside of the wheels I bought were rusted pretty bad. They had tires mounted on them when I bought them and I just had Discount Tire mount the new ones. Had I known how bad they were I would have cut the tires off and blasted them the first time. Oh well.

I don't know if you mentioned it or not, but what kind of sand blaster are you using? Is it the ones from HF?
