Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Got the rest of asphalt undercoat off my front inner fenders. What a pain. Soaked with ATF. Sat for a week, scraped with a HF Oscillating Multifunction Power Tool. Got most of it off. Soaked with Liquid Wrench Penetrating Oil let it sit for 2 days. O'reilly's had it half price. Not much good for anything else. Scraped again with a HF Oscillating Multifunction Power Tool and putty knife. Pressure washed. Scrubbed with de-greaser. The guy that put it on around 1964 liked it heavy. Too tired to post pics. Tomorrow. Gonna take a nap.
Can't find my "before" pics. Here's after:

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Picked up some goodies from the painter today!!!! HE took back the fenders to redo the front section, we made a mistake and brought the black out too far. Will get those back next week and I can bolt up the front clip.
The next batch will be the Bumpers, Barbell and Hood.

I had the same issue long ago with a 57 Chevy sedan I was building. The PO applied about 1/4" of undercoater in the trunk! Took almost a month of evenings with a wire wheel and scrapers to get all the gooey mess off. |

Suspension looks good but dash and interior, wow what a difference a bit of color /gauges and a wheel make, nice.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Got pulled over the other night in the snow storm for having no tail lights. Fortunately I didn't get a ticket, but this morning I finally got a chance to take her back out to the shop. Got one more thing on the fix-it list once the weather clears.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Today I disassembled the front clip again, this time into individual pieces. Will start making new radiator support soon, as well as making the hood flip pieces. Ordered the pieces to make the rear quarter patches and a set of front fenders. Mostly sheet metal work now,most everything else has been mocked up. I need to really get going to be able to get this thing on the road this summer.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
I got the 67-72 sport bumper mounted. While I was hesitant about straying from the stock bumper, I'm sure glad I did. Nothing like some shiny chrome to take your mind off of the lack of progress in other areas.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
The bumper looks great MisterC. That's the one I'm going to use except painted. I like them better than the 60-66 sport bumpers. It gets the license plate out of the way of the tailgate.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Been working on my wing windows.. 50 years of time has made the old rubber as hard as plastic. No fun getting it out of the tracks. But I have one done and the other 50% so on to the next thing HA HA

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Finished lowering the front. Now my clutch yoke hits the exhaust pipe coming down from the manifold. I guess a new exhaust pipe run is my next project.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Fabbed up and welded in the firewall plate on the driver's side and cut out the rusty floors. Question- who sells all the galvanized sheet metal, rivets and the black gooey stuff to all previous owners of these trucks? LOL wow this 'burb had it bad! The driver's floorboard had to be about 1/4" thick.
