I have not weighed them or measured yet, but they are heavy pieces. I will definately let ya'll know how they work.

Re: 198Plus build by Alan's Classic

Hey Joe, I weighed the wheel wells and the new ones are 1-2lbs heavier.

I went back to work today and they didn't really have much to do except a brken door glass on an expedition. That pays well. LOL So I came home to get something done on Ronnies.

I was rushed on the RT bedside. We'll see how it turns out. Getting a good foundation is key it makes blocking a lot easier.



Here is the LT B/S



Sprayed 2 coats of slick sand on everything and put another coat on the RT just in case.





Guide coat



Started sanding on the T/G to see what's going on there. The letter area had some dents and bows to it. That's what I concentrated on today.

Ran a flat block across the letters and it shows some of the damage. Did the same thing on the rest of the flat surfaces to show the lows.



The inside of the T/G





Still have to shave the T/G chain attachement and weld up the holes.

Call the paint store today and they have a metal prep for galvanized metal. It's $10/bottle concentrate.

Wish I could help out as well. You might have to take a number. First after Ronnies will be my neighbor Sdailey cab. Ronnie is trying to hook me up with another build. We'll see if it pans out. It's not his but he referred someone to the board that has already seen my truck on the web.

Your welcome and thanks. I just went and tried to test fit one wheel well and all the bolts fell in except one. It looks like they line up good on the cross braces.

Alan, once again - you’ve shown us your excellent work in great detail. Thanks for the information, as eventually many of us will have to go down this road (or pay massive amounts of cash to have it done) and this grade (class A) of input is invaluable.

Mac.

Re: 198Plus build by Alan's Classic

Hey Allan, have you ever thought of opening up your own shop? Or renting a stall at where you work now? It seems to me that people are restoring there cars & trucks rather than buying new ones. If I promoted more, I know I can make more money. It's just word of mouth right now. I'm winding thing down, and want to retire. I only want to work on my stuff.

I've heard it both ways. It's some cheap insurance.

Thanks Mac, You just gave me a warm fuzzy feeling. J/K It does make all of this worth while.

It has been a dream for me do have my own shop. I'm afraid I don't know enough yet. Maybe it's just a fear. I'm working own my clientel now. I'm treating 198plus the way I would want to be treated, fair. But, I am making it a requirement for the customer to spend at least one day with me blocking and sanding so they understand it sucks and takes a lot of time. That is why they are paying some one else to do it.

Re: 198Plus build by Alan's Classic

Allan I think you know plenty. Look at all the Bozo's out there that own shops or are working at shops, and they call them self Professionals. Some people don't know what good looks like. Your work looks better that good. It LOOKS GREAT.
I'm sure everybody else will agree with me. If that's not a confidence builder I don't know what is. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Re: 198Plus build by Alan's Classic

Isn't there a senior citizen labor law......... against that kind of work for a old man like me

Re: 198Plus build by Alan's Classic

The sooner you get out on your own the better Allen. I did it ten years ago and never looked back. I might not make as much but I only work as hard as I want to. For me it was more of a health thing then anything else but I 'll never regret being my own boss. When I get tried I quit and go work on my truck. Oh ya did I mention I'm broke. But then who is'nt now a days. Livin day by day and loving it.

Re: 198Plus build by Alan's Classic

Just a quick update. I started blocking and want to show a comparision. I blocked the upper side area and want to show the difference. Here is the RT bedside. You can see all of the defects. So far they are blocking out.



Here is the LT side. There is difference. I spent the same amount of time blocking. You can see the block I'm using laying on top. Back to work.

Allan what grit sand paper are you using to block? The block of wood looks like a good idea, but doesn't it get heavy?

It looks like Nassau Blue. I had a 66 Vette that was that color. Looks awesome when painted right. You must use a clear coat.
