Re: My 56 build
Another day of painting. Doors, hoods underside, and inner fenders in color. Last round of two tone. Nice to be done with that. Takes a lot of time taping. Front clip is next. Getting closer

Re: My 56 build
Thanks, I think the most difficult part of painting a vehicle while disassembled is figuring how to hang everything. I happen to be storing a friend’s engine stand and I own one. The 2 have been very useful!

Re: My 56 build
I cut n buffed the underside of the hood before I flipped it over to paint the blue. This way I don’t have to set it upside down on the blue. Also painted the front fenders and upper and lower valances (not really sure what they’re called). Today was my last day spraying blue. One more day spraying bronze. Then painting will be done. Progress

Re: My 56 build
Thanks guys… it’s been a long road. Current goal is to have it driving by spring. Almost done painting, but lots of cut n buffing. The assembly willl be a winter project.

Re: My 56 build
Nice! Maybe its the photo, but is there a little groove for the trim to sit in, or is that whole notch just a bit lower?

Re: My 56 build
All the edges we’re taken down with a dado blade so the stainless strips sit slightly higher than the bed wood. I decided not to use any trim around the inner wheel wells. I couldn’t get the trim to look right around the rounded corners. Just a cleaner look.

Re: My 56 build
Yes curly maple. I’m doing a two tone stain. I experimented with it last winter before I planed it down to 3/4”.
Here’s a link to a short video of the final result: https://youtube.com/shorts/Y6x0TttjBIo?feature=share

Re: My 56 build
Bed wood is done. Because it’s wood I had to spray it with 2 coats. Let it dry, sand it, then 2 more coats of clear. The grain lifts after the first 2 coats. Turned out pretty nice. Surprising how dark it is after the stain - 2nd picture. Much of it gets sanded off. 3rd picture- sanded. 4th picture sanded after 2 coats. Last picture is the final product.
A short video even! https://youtu.be/OYB-O6iJCKE?feature=shared

Re: My 56 build
Looks nice. Maple is one of the hardest woods to take stain uniformly. Did you do both sides or will you oil the back or something else maybe?

Re: My 56 build
The bed wood looks great. I have the same goal as you. Get all the paint work done before the weather gets cold then assemble over winter. So on your bed wood did you use a oil based stain then automotive urethane clear? I have a scrap piece of pine stained and am going to put some urethane automotive clear on it when I paint the bed sides, gate and front panel to see how it looks. Steve
