There is bunches of prep work to be done when you want it to stand above the rest! (i'm not telling you anything that you didn't already know!) I've been getting everything ready for the next stage of paint!

Re: My Unexpected '66 SWB-Fleet-Restomod Project!
Hey all!
I got the cab & front fenders all scuffed, scotch-brited, wiped-down, masked-off, & de-greased! I also dropped a cool grand on paint & clear this week! I gotta do the same for the hood & grill support, then I will be ready for some more paint action! Just a few more pics to keep you all happy! Next week this time, I hope to have the front-half in paint!

The caster is wedged into the seam in the concrete to keep my cart from rollin down the apron to the garage, pretty ingenious, eh? That's actually an entire '69 X-11 car. My buddies so-called project car. A shame, I actually parked it there over 20 years ago, under it's own power...He hasn't touched it since, and won't sell it. I tried to purchase it before I bought my truck....I think maybe that the idea hit too close to home for him, and he didn't want for me to restore it, then end-up painting it for me.

Re: My Unexpected '66 SWB-Fleet-Restomod Project!
Well Guy's,
I guess that it has been about a week since i have posted, and time for me to make a contribution to the forum. Some good things have happened this past week. It seems that the planets are all starting to align or something. I got all of my prep work for paint done, and my Porterbuilt components are starting to trickle in! Here is a glimpse of what we did yesterday morning! I am beside myself right now! These photos (truck-porn to me!) do absolutely NO justice to what it looks like in person. I have showed these pics to a few people, and then took them over to see for themselves, and all have had the same response: "I cannot believe that it would be possible to get such fine results from within a backyard garage"!!!! My hat is off to my great friend Tom & his painting skills, but even he says that "it is all in the prep work". Sure, it will get a slight sand, & rub job, but I woulda done that anyway, regardless! I am gonna try to get some additional pics today in the sunlight if possible, so stay tuned!

Re: My Unexpected '66 SWB-Fleet-Restomod Project!
Spent the entire day transporting painted parts from from Tom's garage to the build garage...Don't want to scratch or ding anything!
Let me tell you, I haven't been this nervous transporting anything since I brought my first-born home from the hospital after birth! It looks super-nice outside! Everything went exceptionally well this weekend. Now I have more to do than I can handle! Right now I feel like I am taking a sip of water using a fire-hose!!!! Here are a few pics with the 14 miles of tape & a thousand feet of paper removed!
