Re: 1972 Cheyenne Restoration
My son Jon wants to learn to do what I do.... I think this is the best way to help him and others learn. Taking many pictures and actually seeing how it's done is the only way to learn. I wish I had this opportunity when I was growing up. But I learned the hard way... as I went. This and other restos I have done are my way of keeping busy and out of trouble !!
Enjoy, Steve |

Re: 1972 Cheyenne Restoration
Good work. That cowl repair looks all too familiar to my Jezebel project. I think the way you repaired yours would have made mine move a little quicker. Keep up the good work. Subscribed and learning...

Re: 1972 Cheyenne Restoration
Jon and I are working on the drivers door this week. We are installing the inner and outer lower sheet metal. The right side got done a few months ago. Lots of measuring and trimming. Pics to follow.

Re: 1972 Cheyenne Restoration
We did have some minor rust mostly in the corners. But Jon (my son and the owner of this truck) sandblasted the rust and we treated it with rust-mort. Suprisingly there was no rust through at the top inside of the roof and windshield area..that is the reason that we restored this cab instead of locating another one. Next up is the hood and bedsides..

Re: 1972 Cheyenne Restoration
Great progress! You may have already said, but what is green primer you are using? or is that some kind of sealer? thanks!
