Re: The Brown Turd
Hopefully this hasn't been answered already, but where did you get the new cover for the seat?

Re: The Brown Turd
They were ordered from CarandTruckUpoulstery.com I asked for a different color than offered for 67-72 and they sent it but, there is a no return policy for "custom colors" as they called it. They fit well, a little batting helped fill out the cover since the old foam was a little saggy.

Re: The Brown Turd
I have found in the past making spray booth out of visqueen works well you just want to pull air out of it and install filter fabric or screen at the bottom about 1' off the floor for air to come in at opposite sides. make sure the floor is clean or dust will get in the paint.

Re: The Brown Turd
I finished up the body work and got it in some primer. Blocked with 400 and wet sanded with 600.

Re: The Brown Turd
This afternoon I finished painting the 3rd coat of clear. Not perfectly smooth but I think a cut and buff will make it real purdy.

Re: The Brown Turd
Not too bad for my first paint job ever. There are only a few imperfections in the base, but it is good enough for me. I was pretty difficult at first till I figured out how to correctly adjust the gun.
Anyway, I'll be proud that I can tell every one I did it all myself. I am glad it turned out pretty decent, thanks to everyone's help in the paint and body section and everywhere else. |

Re: The Brown Turd
Another one saved! Not only saved, but coming together well and looking great. I hope you can get it done in time to use it for your last year.

Re: The Brown Turd
Its been a while but, I have been busting out the final body work and finish sanding. Last weekend I was able to get to the paint booth and get paint down.

Re: The Brown Turd
Color. A little orange peeled but i am hoping after a cut and buff it will be flat and shinny.

Re: The Brown Turd
Thanks guy. I am very happy with how all of my body work turned out. It actually came out straight. I love the bronze especially since it was a one year only color, available only in 70. It is called "dark bronze".

Re: The Brown Turd
Love colors like this that have a split personality. In the shade they look like a dark dark brown. And in the sun they look like a root beer brown or something like that.

Re: The Brown Turd
Wow, very nice work on the turd! It isn't a turd anymore. That color looks great! It's really awesome to see another young man interested in these trucks. It's also cool to see you weren't afraid to get right in there and to metal work, and body work. A big congrats to you!

Re: The Brown Turd
I like what you have done and the work that you put in while in high school. Do you have any current pictures?

Re: The Brown Turd
When the Turd got back home I started in the cab and put down acoustic tar stuff from summit and then some sound deadener with heat sheild from a local fabric store. They sold it in bulk for $20 a square yard. These trucks only need a yard and a half to cover the floor if anyone was wondering. This stuff was almost 1/2'' thick.
