Re: 67 long box
Nice! Gotta ask, did you have prior painting experience before your blend work?

Re: 67 long box
I do have painting experience and have painted many cars, boats, trucks, lawn mowers. I have never tried this type of blend before and now I have that checked off. The only way I no how to do this stuff is by doing it. Try everything and anything. I have done every bit of this build myself excluding some sand blasting on the frame.

Re: 67 long box
Door seals and doors on, still have to touch up the door bottoms where I did some patching. Now to finish fit the fenders and cowl. The rest is bolt on.

Re: 67 long box
Got most of the front end on and lined up. That reconditioned grill emblem looks great on there.

Re: 67 long box
front bumper on and cleaned up the floor mat, gave it a coat of vinyl paint to make it look new with the sill plates. Daily progress gets it closer to driving.

Re: 67 long box
Looking at doing a sunken spare in the bed so I have it mounted but still able to put a tonneau cover over the bed.

Re: 67 long box
I think I'm happy with the side angle to hold the edge of the boards, now I can run bolts through the outside edge and follow around the inner fender to complete the look. I had to cut off a half inch of the edge to fit in and lost the groove.

Re: 67 long box
Stone guarded sprayed in the bottom of the bed sides, inner and outer fenders. Should make it quieter.

Re: 67 long box
How did you come up with your sway bar? Just curious because I have the ability to do something similar i just never thought of doing it myself. What material tubing and size did you use. Did you find info on how much torsion is needed to twist the tubing and then increase the leverage by making those long mounts. I think its cool and its just one more thing you can say you did yourself.

Re: 67 long box
Put the last fluid in and it runs. Sounds great to hear that run again, it's tough to through some parts of the build but the pay off is coming.

The truck looks great, all your hard work is paying off, I bet you are excited to be at this point, so close to being able to drive it.

Re: 67 long box
Thanks man and the anticipation is killing me. I debugged the electrical today and I had to move the horn wire to constant and the wiper to keyed power. Not bad for all that work on the wiring. Everything works now. My horn was dead so I tried the adjustment screw and now have a working horn, thanks to vwnate1.

Re: 67 long box
Drove it up and down the street for the first time. That felt great and it felt great. Small exhaust leak manifold to pipe no big problem. Start putting on the box now.

Re: 67 long box
It all fits in and on. I lovin this look with the composite and flat bar. You can't even tell the bed was raised 2 inches with the tailgate mod. Undecided on the wheel house bolt edge, I might put a strip over it with cap screws through. Put the tail lights in and with a few grounding issues they all work.

Re: 67 long box
Hmm I can dig the patina idea but what the hell be a contrarian.
How about a nice Metallic Silver on both bumpers, headlight bezels and the grill, perfect, glossy and clean, no faux patina. Maybe consider replacing the rear bumper with a paintable sport model. Last edited by Xeen; 06-16-2016 at 09:05 PM. |
