Re: New member with a 1960

Truck is looking great!

I'll be up in your neck of the woods over Christmas. Spending it with my family in Marion and picking up a 292 for my 62 from a guy somewhere in Asheville

Re: New member with a 1960

Inching right along.....The wheel side of the inner fenders is finished up with a line-x type product, getting ready to repaint the frame, then shoot clear then to assembly....

Re: New member with a 1960

I'm trying to read up on the 66 model and I cannot seem to find any info on this particular subject, this truck looks like the paint between the side trim was red on the door but white on the bed, everyone I look at is one color not two ....does this make sense ?

Re: New member with a 1960

Normally, like you mentioned, the stripe is one color (white most of the time). I would say the red is red primer worn through. Very nice truck, Christmas present!

Thanks.... It looks pretty good to not have been polished, but it could look better, I think the guy who painted it did a jam up job, those fenders and firewall were far from pretty and smooth when he started!
Looks like I will be bringing them home tonight to start buffing!

I know what you mean about the hands. I play doublebass, and have found I can't work on the truck the same days I play. I get hand cramps.

Nice mirrors!! Must have been lots of hours polishing...
I recocnize your hands Goatless, I too play the doublebass once in a while (and repair them too for all those Rockers who brake them ��) it hurts sometimes with the blisters and muscles that don't want to work anymore....

I know the feeling well!
Hoping to get all the paint/clear done in the next week or so and then get the glass installed! The interior fellow will be ready soon!

I couldn't imagine playing an instrument after several hours of blocking, sanding and polishing........
