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!
