truck is really coming along, just love doin the blading on the laquer, you should keep that stuff, melt it and respray it, laquer never goes bad! but on the other hand i vote for new paint and make the little guy do some spraying, even if it is just primer, but gives him hope to shoot the paint, you never know how good he might be.

he enjoyed this alot, we had a competition on who could start blading and have the longest piece before it cracked......

Nice progress! Sometimes I feel that I should of gone orginial and I could probably been painting that sucker already. Keep it up!

my67chevytruck · 09-23-2009, 05:14 PM

Thanks!

mcbassin · 09-30-2009, 12:06 AM

Update? on the color(s) you guys decide yet?

my67chevytruck · 09-30-2009, 09:45 AM

I think he has decided on Charcoal grey and gunmetal grey, similar to the pic that VA posted but a little different scheme. We have been working on the tailgate (welding the trim holes) so i should have the tailgate, hood and fenders to my buddys tomorrow or friday

my67chevytruck · 10-01-2009, 08:55 AM

We made some progress on the tailgate....

VA72C10 · 10-01-2009, 09:12 AM

Keep up the good work and keep those progress pictures coming!

I was hoping no one would notice the bondo....

I only welded two holes to try to fool everyone

I started sanding it down with 40 then 80, try to fininsh today but may just take like it is to my buddy's shop and let them do the finish body work. I need to invest in a stud gun soon....

Thanks for the kudos.

A special thanks to Big Al, for the great deal on the air cleaner, we now have a complete set .

big_al_71 · 10-01-2009, 02:37 PM

Looks great!!!! I'm glad I could help!!!

VA72C10 · 10-01-2009, 04:01 PM

Cool...now your engine looks like Geoff's....

I really like that look. Looks tough and will fit well with the color of the truck (you could even paint the recessed areas with the darker of the shades to match the exterior).

You Mean Geoff's looks like our's!!!

gcburdic · 10-01-2009, 06:13 PM

That's funny!!! Looks sweet Heath...I had to get rid of my t-bars though....so there is some differences?!?!?

I thought about painting my finned area body color, but decided on staying with black....

NWD02 · 10-01-2009, 06:21 PM

I was going to let you know Edelbrock had the matching valve covers on sale, but I guess you don't need them, haha. It's looking good Heath.

Slick67 · 10-01-2009, 06:23 PM

Too cool. Always loved the finned look.

my67chevytruck · 10-01-2009, 11:33 PM

Thanks guys, this keeps us motivated.... We finished cleaning up the tailgate (few dents and dings but a stud gun should work fine), and should get the hood, gate, and fenders to the body shop tomorrow....

Just could not justify fixin my tailgate. Mine is on CL for someone else to spend time on. Looks like alot of work ahead on tailgate.

How did the aftermarket gate fit, and what did it run you?

I have to pull the bed sides together about an inch with a come-a-long, but it looks like it will fit pretty well. Can't tell the true fit until I have the bed on the frame this weekend to mock it up. I got it from Outback for $325 (for the Chevrolet lettering). I live very close to them and they had it in stock. It weighs about the same as a factory gate and is very close to identical thickness etc.

my67chevytruck · 10-02-2009, 10:13 AM

ok, i will keep that in mind, thanks for the details....

mcbassin · 10-02-2009, 11:11 AM
