Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
Amazing what $10 can get you at the right location. Up here in Illinois I think they would have added a zero to that number. Great deal!
Will work on your patch panels on Wednesday.

Great pics. of the get together and congrats. on your seat and trim find.
I've been working on my truck today and am taking a break here on the forum. When I saw the bobble head dog from Grizz in your pics. I had to laugh, that is so cool. Take care bro.

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
Here's the deal, since I've been following your thread I've also been checking Craig's List and ebay for 61-66 Chevy and GMC trucks. They are out there and some even seem reasonably priced. I keep talking myself out of pulling the trigger on one because I already have enough stuff to deal with even though a cool older truck could be worked into the mix. Can we have too many trucks, cars, toys and projects? How many is too many?

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
Good that you got a hood to practice on.
I am dreading mine, which I think will be on the list after the rear sway corrections I have to make. Normally I would do the fenders next, but due to my limited space, I think they are safe and remaining unscratched/not dented just hanging on the wall right now..... Hood on the other hand I can plop up on the front of the truck and not worry about too much. Out of curiosity, how many days out of the week do you work on your truck? How many hours do you suppose? I been wondering because I know I spend a lot of time on mine, with somedays if it weren't for the need of food, I would be there till it was time to go to work the next day. ![]()

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
Let us know how that body filler works out. I've used several U-Pol products but never tried their filler yet. I love all the stuff I've tried. Interesting to see that looks like it might be produced domestically because it's in an American style can. All the other stuff I've used has been in a European designed can, which is much easier to open and reseal.
