Re: Project 69SWB
Nice work on fixing that door gap. I would have been scared to death to cut my cab like that!

Re: Project 69SWB
That was definately an extreme way to fix a door gap issue hehe.
That took some guts and I don't doubt you were nervous anyone would have been. I'm just wondering if removing the outter rocker, pie slicing the floor and shortening the inner rocker then pulling the B-Pillar forward would have accomplished the same thing. |

Re: Project 69SWB
Here's a few pics of the cab in primer, and where it'll stay while I work on the fenders, inner fenders, doors, and core support.
This is another part of the gap repair, I added a strip of 14 gauge in to get it even tighter. Over the weekend I worked on stripping this drivers fender down and treated it inside and out with Fast Etch and Pre from Eastwood. Going to work on the other side then get these in primer. Sure wish I had the budget for sandblasting, THIS was ALOT of work... but a labor of love. I wanted to get it all to bare metal so my paint job don't look like the paint Im stripping off. Adhesion problems galore! Couldn't resist laying some emblems on it. Love that brushed metal look. :-) |

Re: Project 69SWB
What'd did you use as paint for your frame/suspension parts? Plan to paint a sway bar and then control arms when I lower mine, but not sure what's best to use..
Awesome build, I look forward to seeing more!! |

Re: Project 69SWB
Nice work Jimmy, this thing is looking great! I was worried that you might have lost interest since this is Jeep season. I know the feeling, I told myself I could get another Jeep when the 70 was done. Well, the truck has been done (for the most part) for about two weeks, and I have already got another Jeep in the driveway.
![]() Anyway, the trucks looking killer, keep up the good work. BTW, are you going to Riverside in Sept? I might try to make it.

I'd love to come, even without my truck, maybe the wife and I will ride the bike out so I can come meet some of you all... and your trucks! I'm not real hip on draggin the truck out there in it's current condition, but if I can get the cab, doors, fenders in paint by then, I might just load it up.

Re: Project 69SWB
Nice job on the fender, I just pulled mine off the front clip and took the trim, markers and emblems off of them. Just wanted to see what I have to work with. I have a little rust work to do and will probably need to blast them. They have surface rust in some hard to reach areas.
