i ended up keeping the 2" blocks and ordering a new ubolt. the reason why i kept the blocks is because i moved the bags over the axle. i felt my bags were too deflated when i had them on the trailing arm, which is why i wanted to get smaller blocks...

We need some pics....even if it's just old stuff!! Keep at it bro!

**kev2809** · 01-14-2012, 01:05 PM

lol..man i been slackin lately!

havent done crap since i got the rims on it...i need to get back on it! im not sure if i should clean up the sub frame for paint or just get back to my original plan and start the body work...i never had plans to paint anything on the frame, so it would be another setback!

**kev2809** · 01-16-2012, 10:44 PM

i would like to try to rework my orginal hinges to make them work. but i just dont see how i could..i still need to trim the inners a little bit more, and its already super close to the lower bolt hole, unless i cut it off...has anyone tried that?

im sanding down my interior now since i cant figure out whether to do my own body work or let someone else do it. since i lost my heater, and am not using the heater control panel (for now), is everyone welding them up or leaving the dummy control panel in there to fill the gap?

i just about have the dash sanded up and will prob move to the back and start sanding later this week..

**kev2809** · 01-27-2012, 07:57 PM

dash in primer and wetsanded...

paint im shooting...massey ferguson red from tsc (single stage)

and heres how it turned out...

after the first coat...

24 hours dry time..

i really like how it turned out. i mixed it with mineral spirits this time to thin it out instead of regular paint thinner. i think it made a big difference in how it flowed out from the gun, and it also didnt water down the color like the black did.

workin on laying some primer on the rest of the interior..hopefully this weekend! what you guys think?

hotrodchevy1999 · 01-27-2012, 11:36 PM

Thanks for stopping in...I bet u do like the color combo! I really like this red...but Im thinking I have too much interior for all red. I think I will spray the rest black.

How did u do your doors ? I don't want to have a black outside then when u crack the door u see red jambs....

thanks guys, i was hoping to be driving it by this summer...but i guess well see!

tried to get some pics of the inteior but it was really tough, the lighting in my garage isnt the best and i really dont want to roll it out just yet. i think the paint turned out pretty good, i just have to fix a small overspray that got into the corner of my dash. probably too small to see once everything is together, but i know its there.

maybe i can wetsand 1500..?

**kev2809** · 02-05-2012, 11:31 AM

ill get some pics up of the overspray part later....

i still need tubs, and to make some kick panel covers with speakers, and also panels in the back that cover the sides, which is why i didnt spray there. thats a whole job by itself...what you guys think?

**kev2809** · 02-05-2012, 11:39 AM

here is the overspray, there is another spot on the top corner of the glass but i will just wetsand it. with the window and rubber in, it wont be noticeable at all.

jmedero · 02-05-2012, 12:06 PM

Wet Sand it a bit. It's like I tell the guys that work for me when it comes to wet sanding.... Start light. Lol. I'd do 2500 gritt.
Truck is looking killer man.

sounds good...my body shop friend should have some of that...ill probably pick it up today. hope it doesnt dull the red underneath!

ill probably start getting everything lined up and get the gaps straight, then pull everything off for body work!

Of course you will have to buff it out after the sanding but it'll come right out. The inside looks great, I know the excitement is killin ya!

**kev2809** · 02-11-2012, 07:45 PM

heres what i been working on last night and a few hours this morning...

still have to weld some rods to the bottom and top of the body, it has a weird twist in it. you can see it here...

**kev2809** · 02-11-2012, 07:46 PM

didnt really take any before pics but i had these saved..

probably get back on it tomorrow and finish it up, its actually turning out nice!

VA72C10 · 02-11-2012, 08:10 PM

Nice progress! Getting the gaps right makes a big difference down the road when it's all painted!

maxxxy · 02-12-2012, 03:59 AM

How are you what are you using to fill those gaps?

im welding tig rods to the side of the door...there is a thread on it in the paint and body section..

**kev2809** · 02-17-2012, 08:01 PM

almost finished up the gap...just need a little more grinding to even up the gap..

**kev2809** · 02-17-2012, 08:05 PM

looks a lot better than that ugly twist that was in there...

i also got a little bored last night of fixing the gap, so i went to put my new ubolt in and also the panhard bar spacer from cpp...and i noticed something strange..

DRIVER SIDE

PASSENGER SIDE

i believe my notch was not welded in centered up...i took these pics of some mounting holes next to the notch and you can see the space between the holes and notch are different on both sides...

is this going to pose a problem? i really dont want to pay someone to cut this notch out and move it....it seems like it only touches when its completely aired out...

Maybe you can do what I did, it will effect drive line length and what ever else is tied to it. Made them out of some aluminum i had laying around. It will also help center the rear wheels.
