Got some work done today. Epoxied the bed and door panels

jmking9 · 03-12-2013, 10:31 PM

Then I got the first round of high build on the bed.

Gordonr1973 · 03-18-2013, 10:56 AM

This is a fantastic truck! Really love the paintjob you did on it & I'll be using some of the tips I read in your paint thread.

**screaminchevypickup** · 03-19-2013, 04:22 AM

Awesome job!

Very nice...

~Whitey~ · 03-19-2013, 12:37 PM

Looks really good Jonathan. I bought that same breather and covers for my motor. Can't wait to see it all back together.. I hope to catch up to you soon and have mine back on the road.

Low Elco · 03-19-2013, 12:48 PM

Man, looks terrific! Hope the rest goes well! Use foam pads, and dont sand your edges, and tape the edges off when you polish until the final glaze, and you'll be fine. Great work so far!

Youre catching me pretty quick. I've been watching your build and you are moving right along and looking great.

Thanks! I appreciate the advice, I'll take any I can get.

Hoping to be done with paint after this weekend

jmking9 · 03-23-2013, 07:25 PM

Bed is finished! It feels GREAT to be done with the painting. Now comes the cut and buff, intalling AAW wiring harness, Assembly, etc.

jmking9 · 03-23-2013, 07:26 PM

Also got the letters on the tailgate.

jmking9 · 03-23-2013, 07:28 PM

ooops forgot pic.

72BlckButy · 03-23-2013, 08:35 PM

Gold/White is a terrific combo. Surprised you don't see them too often. What did you decide to do on the crimp tool from AAW?

Thank you! I'm gonna have the floor Line-X'd. The floor is 100% solid but does have some dings and minor bowing. I'm planning on driving this truck quite a bit. I wont be hauling much, but I'm sure i'll throw something in there from time to time.

Thanks, I really like it too. I was torn for years as to what color to go with. I'm glad I went back with this color combo. The fact that you dont see too many this combo was the biggest reason I chose it.

I think I will just buy the tool instead of renting it.

jmking9 · 03-24-2013, 01:37 AM

Found this on my front porch late tonight.(We dont ever use the front door) I bought it off ebay and had kinda forgotten about it. I dont know when UPS left it, but the box was soaked. Luckily the person that shipped it had wrapped it in plastic. I just have to change the bezel to the 69-72 one. EDIT: wow, my phone takes terrible pictures. I promise it looks like new. You just wouldnt know it from this pic.

**screaminchevypickup** · 03-24-2013, 12:24 PM

Looks good!! You better start color sanding and buffing soon as possible. Using 2021 if you wait to long you will wish you never started to sand on it..

Really. What problems will I have? Its been about 6 weeks since sprayed the cab. How long is too long? If you dont mind me asking, whats your recomendation on the steps and materials for cut and buffing. I've heard and read alot of different methods and am a little bit lost. Im going tomorrow to but supplies. I was just going to pick the brain of the guy who owns the store as he has been very helpful so far. But I would like your input. All I have as of right now is a new buffer. I painted an old 80's Dodge hood when I was painting so I would have something to practice on. This step makes me more nervous than when I started painting.

builtbyKane · 03-24-2013, 06:03 PM

The paint combo looks fantastic. The buff jobs that always turn out horrible are the ones that are afraid of them. I was terrified with my first one from all the horror stories and once I got into it I immediately became comfortable. Just practice a little if possible, watch your edges and let the buffer do the work for you. Take your time.

twillie2460 · 03-26-2013, 02:50 PM

Thanks for the gauges and your truck looks very good and very nice build, I hope mine comes out that good.

Thanks. It was nice meeting you

UPDATE: I'm into the cut and buff now and it is going slowly. I'm really starting to get the hang of it so hopefully I can pick up the pace a little. Havent got to spend much time on it lately. I've been spending some time with the family. I REALLY want to finish polishing so I can put the body together and see what it looks like as one piece again. After this week I should have more time to work on it, so it wont be long...

jmking9 · 04-18-2013, 09:35 PM

After two long weeks of late night sanding and buffing, I have finally finished. I cant believe how much difference it makes, well worth the effort. Anyone doing their first paint job and on the fence about wether or not to polish, like I was, DO IT. I used a method that I stole from a board member. 1000/1500/2000 then 3M foam pads with Meguires compounds. It worked very well.

Should have most of the body put together by the end of the weekend. I'll post some pics then. I cant wait to start putting on the trim and other things so I can get an idea of what this thing is really going to look like.
