Re: Jans 53
Its easy to get that much shine out of primer (NOT). That is one smooth base for the that upcoming paint job...well done.

Re: Jans 53
Well, you're WORKING on a chevy. Besides, the tow operators have a nice long clear area to work in when they bring the F**d back home if you decide to use it.
The nice thing about driving a F**d is that you dont have to worry about how your hair looks. You'll be wearing that paper bag over your head when you go out so nobody knows it's you driving. Nice job on the truck. Keep plugging away and you'll be done. |

Re: Jans 53
Lol, I went and got myself sidetracked with those damn bed hinges and now my husband is having both hips replaced this Wednesday. So it might be another week or two....NOT !
Been following your build and it turned out great! I get excited every time someone gets their truck going it puts a little wind in my sail.

Re: Jans 53
Buddy had both done and was walking that day. So I'm wishing you both good luck on the hips. Life takes precedence.

Re: Jans 53
Ouch...Hip replacement(s) sounds much more painful than a long truck build. Almost as expensive tho...Jk Now I know why you are selling all of those hinge kits. To pay for a couple of hips.
Wishing your husband a speedy recovery. Marc

Re: Jans 53
A talented metal worker like you? I say go for it. I'm sure the hubby would appreciate the custom work.

Re: Jans 53
Steve is doing great we were back home 6 hrs after he came out of surgery. Been scooting around with his walker to the mail box and some short walks. Some of my truck time is being taken up with extra chores but I’ve managed to squeeze the truck in. Been working on getting the hinges shipped out to people.
So I’m doing close examination of body work looking for pin holes and last minute repairs. The temp here is already getting so hot 109 on Monday. Not sure how much will get done this week!

Congrats to Steve. 109 is miserable! Stay cool.

Re: Jans 53
I have beat on fenders, sanded, beat on fenders, sanded, welded, ground the welds, beat on fenders until I'm just tired of it. So what did I do the last 3 days? Sanded on fenders for a friends Harley. What a break that was!
