I've looked several times for info on this but it's tough to choose one method over another w/o trying it first..... and there's a bunch of them. Good luck!

Thanks! I'm fairly happy with it

Thanks a lot! Getting excited- though it really hasn't set in yet...

I think it's gonna have to wait at this point- getting down to the nitty-gritty- I'll post up when I get around to messing with it again...

Little bit o' progress in the way of blackening the grill lettering. Looks complete now. I realized recently that when I got this truck, it didn't actually have the word 'Chevrolet' on it anywhere...

I wonder if UV lights would have any affect on the unfinished wood, would it turn grey under the light??
also check this link out, maybe it can help with turning it grey

Try LIFETIME wood treatment. You'll find it at Schroeders log home supply.

This sounds like what happens to an undisclosed part of the male anatomy when the 'wedding bliss' wears off to the point of her getting a divorce lawyer. Hopefully you meant 'wedding' since you were w/your BTB.

RatRod68 · 06-22-2011, 05:15 PM

awesome!

Man every time I look at your build it makes me want to get motivated. You moved so fast on this truck I'm embarrassed of how slow I am. I've been milking mine for almost years now......ouch
can't wait for the pictures! Congratulations!

Lotsa sacrifice to make it happen this fast, but well worth it to make my woman happy
