"if I only had more money" You forgot time. LOL. Hey your truck is coming along nice.

shortbed70 · 04-22-2009, 07:49 PM

Thanks for the kind words to keep me encouraged. I now see why people that get into this stuff without a plan loose intrest because it get EXPENSIVE quickly. I mean I still have to buy rage filler,2K euro primer, long blocks,two front fenders,paint\clear. And then put it back togather...Anybody interested LOL

shortbed70 · 04-22-2009, 09:05 PM

Heres my made panels by hammering flat metal on the floor and now they fit just like the factory door patch would. They arent done yet I still have to clean them up and get the dimples out of them.

shortbed70 · 04-26-2009, 09:56 AM

Got some done yesterday. Bare metal epoxy primed and man eastwood stuff is thin like spraying water. Heres a few pics.

where did you get them?

Alan's Classic · 05-05-2009, 09:29 PM

That looks awesome.

shortbed70 · 05-05-2009, 10:24 PM

Got them from a swap meet in lawrance saterday 5-2-09. They are all over ebay for around $75-85 but I got them for 84 with rubber vc gaskets. I looked at the chrome ones just like these but the finish was real weavy and looked cheap. Thanks guys.

shortbed70 · 05-24-2009, 03:11 PM

Just a teaser but I finally got to work on my truck again and welded in the door handle delete plates I made but I'm kind of broke after hawaii so it will be tough to get things done for a while I will have pics later tonight. Also did some polishing on my carb.

shortbed70 · 05-24-2009, 07:13 PM

Heres todays work not much but something.

Alan's Classic · 05-24-2009, 07:43 PM

Nice work!!

joe231 · 05-25-2009, 01:22 AM

shortbed70 · 05-25-2009, 12:42 PM

Thats what I do for a living although now I just weld because theres no work but before all my jobs were fab jobs like floor pans,rockers,cab patches,if it was rusted we had to make it. Thats was fun. Now its just SLOW. Thanks guysat this rate I might be done next year LOL.

shortbed70 · 05-27-2009, 10:07 PM

Well no progress other than grinding cause I've been workin on some side jobs for my buddies 74 drag truck like solid motor mounts and an aluminum overflow tank. Heres the tank but cant find the mount pics.

jgh64pkup · 05-27-2009, 10:09 PM

1964C10 · 05-27-2009, 10:15 PM

Did you weld up the joint on the hood? They look great! How difficult was that? I am thinking about doing that as well if it's not too dangerous (warpage)
