Re: Project 67 DRGNWGN - 67 Burban!!
Kev, that has the "I'm gonna kick your a$$" look to it. It's still going to be flat black right? Maybe some 50's style pinstripes here and there in gloss black just to make it look more pissed off?????? I want a burb so bad, and a Blazer, and a short box..................

Re: Project 67 DRGNWGN - 67 Burban!!
lol...its like a disease. i think im already planning on my next build lol
my "plan" is actually gloss black...i think i will do my own body work but im scared as hell. i actually thought of painting it red with black interior...but i cant get away from this black. it would just look too cool to avoid. little update, i finally got the hatch/gate jambs primed. i really didnt feel like getting it done because of all the sanding and contours, but i really needed to! ill get some pics up tomorrow, its too dark to get a pic of..

not a whole lot really, i did get the rear tailgate jamb sanded and primed, and replaced the third door rocker finally. still have to finish up some spot welds and splicing welds, then shoot a coat of primer on it. maybe some pics come weekend but its gonna look pretty much the same lol. trying to figure out what direction i should go with now..i have a couple of extra bucks to put in it, wondering if i should get the high build primer and finish up the firewall and inner fenders (paint)...and start the dreaded body work!

Re: Project 67 DRGNWGN - 67 Burban!!
glad im past that! man it was a lot of work to shave up the holes and shaved the heater box...but was def worth it. cant wait to see some paint on it now, but im thinking of switching up colors again lol
i already have single stage black, but im not sure if i want to do black. i mean i do, but im not real confident in my body work to shoot the entire truck black...

Re: Project 67 DRGNWGN - 67 Burban!!
If you don't think the body work is good enough, just keep at it. I know black shows everything, but if the body work is bad, it will be bad with any color.
Blocking and priming isn't that expensive, it's just an ass load of work. I think you've done a great job up to this point and I'd hate to see the end result be compromised after all the effort you've already invested. |

Re: Project 67 DRGNWGN - 67 Burban!!

Re: Project 67 DRGNWGN - 67 Burban!!
updates coming soon!
i just shot one coat of the valspar tractor one stage on the firewall...noticed some solvent pop in it, hopefully they go away after the next 2 coats. its tough getting this paint to thin out right... mixed 250ml with just a dab of hardener, then im assuming i thinned it by nearly 15-20% with fast dry thinnner....should have some pics up tonight if i have enough light out.

Re: Project 67 DRGNWGN - 67 Burban!!
That looks great, I hope it flows out for ya. Surely someone will chime in on the paint issue. I think it could be sanded and buffed out personally, but what do I know??!?!
