Re: My Blue 1957 build
Stopped by the body shop today. Cab and front clip are ready for final block sanding. Bed is coming along nicely. Now planning to be spraying color next week Then it will be a busy few weeks. Getting frame back next week and if paint is actually done at same time I will be busy as hell getting frame all together and getting liner sprayed on cab and fenders.

Re: My Blue 1957 build
Well here is the frame.......Learned 2 things today..... #1 powder doesnt cover up everything like i thought. You want it nice a super smooth then bondo and paint it. #2 use anti seize on ALL stainless hardware. Had to cut 2 bolts off because they got gulled up.

Thank you. I know you have heard this at least a thousand times, but I love what you are doing with your truck. Can't wait to see the final product.

Re: My Blue 1957 build
Well it has been too windy for the rest of my parts to be coated so i am waiting..... hopefully tomorrow. On the other hand i stopped by the paint shop and the cab door and fenders have some color on them. Picked up the bedliner thats going to get sprayed on the bottom of the cab, inside on the floor and underside of fenders. I have the brake and fuel lines all in just waiting on the rest.........
