Thanks Al, I'm hoping to have it finished by next spring. As long as I don't change anything else I should be able to get it done lol

Thankyou, believe me when I started this build two years ago, I couldn't afford these parts either. Things have gotten better which is now allowing me to do some of the things I wanted to do from the start.

hellooooooo !!!! anybody building anything on this thread??? i found you at the bottom of my subscribed threads !!!!

Bennett68C10 · 04-02-2012, 10:27 PM

Lol yeah I'm still building have been working on the ever exhausting bodywork on the doors. Haven't really been taking any pictures kind of boring lol. I do have some bad news, had to cancel my order for the mild rear dropmember with Porterbuilt, Nate is awesome and very understanding. Sometimes life just reaches up and grabs you. Oh well got to do what you got to do. I will just mildly bag the rear for now with my current c-notch. Will try to get a few pics of the doors loaded up tomorrow

Thanks Raull, my plans now are to finish this build then worry about getting it down lower in the rear if I don't like the stance. They are never really done so I can always change things down the road

Bennett68C10 · 04-03-2012, 05:16 PM

Some pics as promised of the body work i'm currently doing on the doors. I really hate sanding

Thanks guys I'm finding out really how much sanding sucks and I still have the rest of the cab to do

FrankieD · 04-04-2012, 08:50 AM

Teach the girl friend the finer points of sanding tell her it will help you grow closer and she will feel like she is helping with the build. Then she can move on to the body when you are watching NASCAR and bring her a beer once and a while to show you care.

Lol I'm just glad my wife is down with me building this truck and doesn't mind me spending money on it whenever I can.

At least all that body work leaves you with silky smooth fingers- and as a bonus, if you get arrested, they can't print you...

Lol my problem is after a day of sanding I can't even feel my fingers, especially the small curvy areas on the doors

Well not much more to report, doors are almost ready for first coat of primer. It has been really slow going as I only have 1 day a week to work on my project.

Yeah it sucks not to have time to work on my project but it will get done eventually

Bennett68C10 · 04-28-2012, 10:12 AM

A few pics from last weekend. My brother borrowed a rotisserie from his neighbor, so we made up some brackets and bolted my cab to it. Sorry for the bad quality pictures, my iphone didn't mix well with the garage lights
