Re: Previous owner '68
Too hot to paint anything but I will shoot primer since a bunch of it will get sanded off.

Re: Previous owner '68
Did some stripping on the tailgate today. I don't really like stripping...

Re: Previous owner '68
Well, the weather is finally cooling down a bit so I decided to get in the un-AC'd part of my shop and pull an engine for this truck. It's coming out of this jimmy.

Re: Previous owner '68
Ran when parked (at least I parked it!). Going to tear it down, inspect it, and then do a budget build on it. Don't most engine projects start this way?
A pretty busy day for an old guy working by himself.

And one greasy, worn-out transmission, to match one greasy, worn-out old dude.

Just catching up on your build. For your horn button I would have someone scale to fit and print out in gold your av pic ragged Jim.

Re: Previous owner '68
Cool build. I really like the choice of the metal bed floor. Looks like you are making steady progress. Maybe a rat fink horn button?

Re: Previous owner '68
Me too, never was a huge fan. I painted this emblem on the bottom right corner of tailgate on a 51 chevy for a friend years ago. I think it is my favorite chevy emblem. Except maybe the shield on a 55 car.

Re: Previous owner '68
I do like that one. I have been looking for an emblem on the web but so far haven't found one that works.

Re: Previous owner '68
Tore into the engine a bit. Looks pretty clean but lots of carbon build-up around the crossover ports.
