Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
Guessing the wires went into the fuse block at location labeled cruise control?.
Yes, I would enjoy learning how you do the door panel so looking forward to the thread Jim...Doug |

Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
Looks good Jim!
Love it when you've planned far enough ahead to make things easy to work on or maintain in the future.

Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
Well, I have a week-end update for everyone. On Friday I sanded down the paint on the bumper till it was showing primer. Did a little blinding then sprayed it with 4 coats of primer (Well Mark sprayed it, new gun and I couldn't get it to spray, he changed the tip on the new gun and layed down the primer. Here's the bumper in primer...Jim

Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
Saturday I dry and wet sanded the primer till I was happy with it. I then sprayed 4 heavy coats of the teal paint, came out real nice. (Yes I sprayed this time). First pic is the old one with chipped paint. Pic 2 and 3 are how it came out...Jim

Looks really good. It's always nice to check some projects off that list that you mean to get to.

Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
A little update guys. Can't tell you anything new on the cruise control, it's on hold. My seat is still at the upholstery shop (6 weeks), so I can't drive the truck. If you remember i said back the first of February I would be building a door panel for a friend. Well, I finally got started on the panels. Here's the link to the build thread http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=662380 , that I put in Alternate Tinkerings, since there is no interior forum on here. Check it out and let me know what you think...Jim

Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
Jim, I finally made it to the end of this thread.
Don't know what to say.... There are some people on this board I really admire because of their skills and great ideas to solve little and big problems. I have to say, you are on that list too
