Re: New member with a 1960
Fun times.....And thanks for all the kind words!
We are having a blast with the Door Jambs, hopefully we will be clear coating the entire truck in a few days!

Re: New member with a 1960
Looks like clear coat this week....Then glass...It is supposed to hit the interior shop in about 3 weeks! I'm too anxious to see this done!

Re: New member with a 1960
We have clear coat......these pictures were taken after the first coat, 2 more coats were applied after this! We were shocked at the amount of clear it took, I ended up buying 6 gallons worth (after the activator is mixed) I think we were just short of shooting all 6 gallons!

Re: New member with a 1960

Do you keep it glossy or are you flatten it out a bit?

Re: New member with a 1960
Beautiful, usually I'm not a fan of clearcoating patina, but on this truck it looks perfect!

Re: New member with a 1960
This is the bracket pictured earlier to help increase belt wrap, we are hoping to eliminating slippage!

Re: New member with a 1960
I hope everyone is having a great day....we are seeing some beautiful days here in western NC!
We tucked the bumper in somewhat, installed the inner fenders, gaskets etc, I am a bit concerned about the amount of belt wrap on the alt/PS pulley, we may make a idler pulley to increase wrap...and the bottom pic....SCORE LOL I am going to run the big trailer tow mirrors just like it has on it, they were on it when it left the farm, but my buddy ran across these at a yard sale, still in the box..... we may have to switch out the mirrors!     SCORE SCORE SCORE

Re: New member with a 1960
I absolutely love the look of those west coast style mirrors! Now you've got me thinking that I need a set like that!

Re: New member with a 1960
love the truck every time you post it, but that gas cap! That thing is pretty cool. I can't seem to find one stamped like that on the interwebz
