Re: LFD's low buck truck build!
Looks like you did a helluva job for your first.
I agree with the cut and rub process.........it's when the "fruits or your labor" really start showing! Look great!

Re: LFD's low buck truck build!
Well not much progress the last few days with my wife working a ton of hours and me getting to spend extra time with my son. I did finish my LT1 cover tonight while he was napping and my Dewalt polisher came in today as well. When my wife gets home I will try and get the core support painted so I can start bolting parts back on once they have been polished.
I am waiting for the new emblems to come in for the covers then they will be really finished but for someone that does not have a steady hand they turned out not so bad! Kevin LFD Inc. Last edited by Rokcrln; 01-17-2008 at 03:59 PM. |

Re: LFD's low buck truck build!
used to work as a painter in some place here that had me fill in the letters on a sighn
i cleaned the nameplate up with thinner and i couldnt get it out of the letters so i picked up the pencil and loaded it with paint . as soon as i touched the letter the thinner residu sucked the paint right up and filled the letter completely , it took a bit longer to dry but it was a great trick the end result looked verry clean

Re: LFD's low buck truck build!
A few more pics from an hour in the shop tonight. Mixed a bit of black and shot some misc. parts along with my core support. Put on the engine covers, glove box door and misc dash emblems.

Re: LFD's low buck truck build!
Something needs to be done with those valve covers and other exposed engine parts. Spray them or buff them, something. Why not spray the front frame rails while they were exposed? This is the one drawback to doing a lot of quality work, but not the whole shebang like you would like to do. Everything you have worked on is looking fantastic, everything you didn't is showing up too easily. But no matter what doesn't get attention on this truck, it will still be nicer than about 90% of whats posted on the board. This will be an outstanding DD.

Re: LFD's low buck truck build!
Piece by piece it will become one again! I might have the truck together minus the bed by next monday night. Then off to the glass shop while I get back on project Trazer. Once that is done then I will finish the bed and time for a dump run!! One door and one fender polished! Once the truck is together I will go back over it again depending how it looks in the sun plus I fugure by the time I finish polishing the truck I will know what I am doing and the first 3/4 os the truck will bug me enough to redo the whole thing

Re: LFD's low buck truck build!
That color is really nice. It looks nice with the trim package. Are you going to paint the wheels the same color? Once again you have made it look so easy.

Re: LFD's low buck truck build!
Curious about the trim as well. How do you like it? Where/who did it come from? Any likes/dis-likes about it?
