Re: '67 Short Step #2
I never really liked the monochrome trim on the grill, so I stripped them to bare steel and then polished and clear coated them. Now I'm going to lower the truck another two inches.

Re: '67 Short Step #2
I like the look Much Better, How is Truck Performing overall? Have you found many Area's you wish you had Done Different during the Build?

Re: '67 Short Step #2
the truck looks great the base looked great too once the surface rust was gone
nice to see you kept the 6 in a row the lady that done the pinstriping got some great skills there some pinstripe artists here in the netherlands but the work i seen of them is a little uneven from left to right hats off for youre own skills , i used to work as a prep person for a truckpaintshop and allthough i can handle a paintgun i never developed those metalfabricating skills

Re: '67 Short Step #2
Well it only took a year but I finally sanded and polished the truck. Brad polished while I welded and bodyworked on his 68.

Re: '67 Short Step #2
Dang! I just read the whole thread, Kyle. What a great job you have done on the truck, and how cool of you to document every step along the way to share with us all. I am just getting started on a '67 stepper with a pal, and we have been inspired by your work. I have a hard time thinking of what I would have done differently!
Now, if I could do metal fab like you and Don, and spray that killer orange he shot, then stich up a nice interior and lay down some classy bedwood . . . well, I'd have a heck of a truck too! Off to the shop! |

Re: '67 Short Step #2
I can't get over your truck. It's clean, sharp, new with a spin of old school. The pinstriping, the six...love it all.
Can't wait to see and hear more of it, great work man. -Sam.

Thanks! |

Re: '67 Short Step #2
Looks great Kyle! I love how the paint turned out, very professional looking. Must make you feel really good to get complements when you take her out!

Re: '67 Short Step #2
Took the truck to the midwest all truck nationals a couple weeks ago. Rolled over 2000 miles on the way there and won the burnout contest.
