Nice work on the front end! I bet you kinda wish you had done the xmember before you put the engine in? Great pics as always! Keep it up.

VA72C10 · 01-18-2011, 02:35 AM

Nice work. Glad you're taking the time to do it right!

Steve and Jon, you guys are doing GREAT!!!!!!!!!! Looks awesome!!!

CUSHE63 · 01-20-2011, 10:23 PM

We got the crossmember back from the blaster today.... and the paint was applied asap !!! It looks like gloss.. but it is just wet..Going back together this weekend !!

matthew20061 · 01-20-2011, 10:51 PM

Those blasted parts looks awesome! It makes me wish mine was sand blasted instead of just cleaned and painted.

Ratone71 · 01-21-2011, 12:44 AM

Man, I am so jealous. Your a lucky guy to access to that shop an all that equipment. I'm sure you could make it work in a storage shed if you had to. The truck looks great. It is inspiring me to rip mine apart.

Keep the updates and pictures coming!

Please don't smoke, its bad for you!

CUSHE63 · 01-21-2011, 02:32 PM

Today...

CUSHE63 · 01-23-2011, 12:10 AM

Today was a busy day.....the crossmember is painted. although it looks powdercoated. I won't however reveal my secret on how I did it !!! It is very durable also.... we tested it by accident. We installed the rear diff cover too... bolts are silver tooffset all the black... and rust !!!

67chevy1series · 01-23-2011, 12:14 AM

Please elaborate a little on the paint....I would like to find some paint that is more durable than the rustoleum hammered that I am using. It looks great but scratches very easy. You don't have to give me all your trade secrets. just enamel? poly? urethane? BTW the parts turned out great! Thanks

CUSHE63 · 01-23-2011, 01:22 AM

more from today....Tires were a gift.....

67chevy1series · 01-23-2011, 01:25 AM

matthew20061 · 01-23-2011, 02:04 AM

Wow looks great all put together, can't wait to see it finished!

CUSHE63 · 01-23-2011, 09:58 AM

Jon is pointing to the "ONLY" bolt he tightened !!!!!!!! I did the rest ALL BY MYSELF !!!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAA JON !!!

Sorry Jon... I had to do it !!!! Greg (his engine building mentor) put me up to it .....

CUSHE63 · 01-23-2011, 10:24 AM

On a serious note... We hope to get the heater box back on early this week. Also we will tie up the loose ends and get the doghouse back on for good. Here are more from yesterday....

It's called the "Might as well's"

The build deserved to be finished off right so I'm glad you got caught up and decided you "might as well" finish it off the right way
