Re: 67 long box
What did you do to prep the inner fenders for the satin black? just sand or sand blast? I may have missed it.
Great work!

Re: 67 long box
I wish I knew, I bought them at a swap meet for 5 bucks and they fit perfect. I drilled the two mount holes and the bar had the holes in the to slip over the top lock bar. It was total luck they fit like this. I would say they came from mid 80's gm car.

Re: 67 long box
I was going to ask what the rod came from, but that actuator is from basically 80's GM vehicle, as you already said. Now I see I won't have to do much fiddling to make the locks work, I just need to find the connector for the actuators and I am in business

Re: 67 long box
I started grinding out the chips and surface rust, now I've got to paint the spots I touched up, which is the whole inside panel on both. So out with the glass, trim, and latch.

Re: 67 long box
Glad I had the awesome opportunity to meet the Metaldoc in person. Great to see your work first hand. What a great guy! Love your vision for the truck. I'm anticipating the the final product. Thanks again for the great ideas, dome light and the CST emblems.

Re: 67 long box
Got the rad saddle cleared to keep all the black parts the same color of satin black. Blasted and painted most of the fenders hardware, I know I'll find more. 5 gal stir sticks work great for the bolts Easy to hold for blasting and painting.

Re: 67 long box
I just found out all my masking paper in the pics, the red colored stuff, is meat packing paper. Stuff works great and I got the roll at a garage sale for 2 bucks and still have half left.

Re: 67 long box
Fenders ready to hang. Needle painted with nail polish in the emblems. This color looks perfect and has a bit of pearl in it to look transparent. Redid the black strip in the trim. It's the little things.

Re: 67 long box
Haha gotta love the ironic choice in nail polish name.
Sometimes cracking one of these trucks open feels like exactly that.

Re: 67 long box
This whole build has been a challenge, But fun, I'm close to 1000 hours under in now and not done yet. I just wanted to get it pass a safety to full on resto. Every piece I took off needed something done to it. Russian roulette yup should I replace it, paint it, cover it, leave it, blast it, nos piece, repop piece or should I make it. I do have to say that color has the right red to orange hue looks factory coated.

Re: 67 long box
It is looking purdy. Had to check seat to shifter to dash clearance so I had to toss the dash in and wheel on. It felt good sitting in there.
