Its coming right along!

The1960APE · 11-22-2016, 03:02 PM

A little more work on the firewall and it will be ready for paint, the "brand new" Inner fenders were far from perfect, they have consumed a lot of time and effort getting them ready for paint! I am glad the body is staying as is, that would be a nightmare, I'm sure most of you guys have been there done that! Hopefully we will see some base/clear black in the next few days!

How do you hook up the ac when the holes are in a straight line like that?

Those holes are inside the inner fender so the lines are hidden, there is a bulk head fitting that goes there, the lines will attach to the threads on the bulk head on the firewall side and on the inside. Below is a link to the fitting!

Are you going with the same blue colour that the rest of the truck has?

The engine bay is going to be base/clear gloss black.

I never realized how rough the firewall was, much less brand new inner fenders..., at least she is back on 4 tires, hopefully I can pose some pics of some black paint this week!

RockinKees · 12-05-2016, 02:29 PM

Really nice clean firewall. Great work!!

The1960APE · 12-14-2016, 11:41 AM

The base coat is laid down, had a run or two but no biggie, a little wet sanding and some clear should make it all good,,,hopefully

62stepside longbox · 12-14-2016, 12:01 PM

Turned out awesome man, looks better than new!
