Re: 68 C 10 stepside "My American Bulldog"
Great work Spike!! the build up from the frame with lots of pictures is inspiring, get me really wanting to get started on my 68 c10. Love the color you are going for too, the metallic sparkle with the rootbeer looks amazing and makes me thirsty for some reason. Keep up the great work!!

Re: 68 C 10 stepside "My American Bulldog"
And on a side note, I've been using my friend Tom's little angle grinder.
And burnt that thing up completely. So it was off to Sears. Picked up 2 angle grinders, And a butterfly impact. " I swear it was calling my name" Spike ![]()

![]() Next is 2 coats of b/u primer. Block sanding. Thin coat of filler to true up the body, Block sand again, Final primer, Black base coat, Gold pearl highlights, Then 4 or 5 coats of Kandy rootbeer, Then 4 or 5 coats of clear. After all that, It should look like this. Spike ![]()

Re: 68 C 10 stepside "My American Bulldog"
Been playing with the bed today.
Got all the bed parts treated, Sealed, And epoxy primed. Made a new frame, To set the bed on. And welded the stake pocket shut. ![]() My friends Chris, And Phil wanted to play also. Started closing in the side marker today as well. It's nice to see progress! Spike I ran across this sweet deal on a 69 stepside. What do you think, Was 75 cents too much ![]()

Re: 68 C 10 stepside "My American Bulldog"
beauty!!! looking good, 69's are nice and all but not a 67-68, love the front ends, can't complain for the price though, so cool, I want a die cast like that, maybe you should slide it into the paint booth and match it up

Re: 68 C 10 stepside "My American Bulldog"
Ok, It took 2 days.
-I overslept, -The A/C went out, -I needed to do laundry -I wanted to stay home, And drink cold beer instead Pick one or two ![]() But here we go! Welded up the stake pockets, And all gaps. Etched the patches. Applied several skim coats. Block sanded 95% back off. Then etched over the entire rail again. After I finish all the body work on the bed. I will glaze any pinholes. Block sand Then 2 coats of buildup primer. Block sand again Then final primer. Spike ![]()
