Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
Its always great working on a nice clean frame. You are not going to want to put on any old dirty parts, or that could just be me. I always have to put in new bolts, and they seem to always be the gold colored ones.
Looking good, and it looks like you bought your booth at the same place I buy mine from. They work well, but when you use a real booth, its tough to go back. darren

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
I do that myself on occasion, and then I'm mad at myself for wasting time. It's not really wasting time, more like research to get new ideas or see how its done. I will say also, it sure is nice to have roomy place to work and the right tool for the job at hand. Keeping the frustration low keeps you on task and motivated more. I am very blessed.

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
Working on getting my high hump installed. Does anybody know how the factory cut out the low hump? Is there an indentation of where to cut? I'd like it to look factory.

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
Don't quote me but can you place the high hump over the low hump and trace the perimeter? may help to draw a line around the edge then scale inward the width of the flange?

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
Man that stinks about the rust. You might want to sand blast that rust and acid wash it so you can try to stop it dead in its' tracks. Then use a wash primer and then sealer.

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
The way I am doing my restorations is having them acid dipped and then dipped in e-coating, that way they are clean of all rust and have primer inside and out in all the nooks and crannies. It's expensive but well worth it to eliminate all of the rust.

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
When I had my 67 camaro body done(just passenger compartment no doors or anything) it was $900 to strip and 1,000 to e-coat. That was several years ago. I just had a customers 71 Challenger done complete car doors fenders everything and it was just shy of $4,000. The company is ready strip in jackson, ms. They are just down the street from Keystone Automotive.

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
Getting the bed ready for tomorrows sandblasting. I have about 20 extra holes that previous owners were so kind to drill for me in the bottom of the bed. I'm using a trick I saw here on the board, electrical knock-outs to weld to, to fill the holes. Remember I plan on USING this truck, so I will be Rhino-Lining the bed and have a rubber mat over that. Not really sure now why I am bothering to weld up the holes???
