Your detailed build thread is inspiring to me to address the rust issues on my truck. Excellent work!

Great progress! You may have already said, but what is green primer you are using? or is that some kind of sealer? thanks!

The primer we use is a shade of yellow... then I tint it with dark blue base to turn it green. It is a catalysed high build primer.

Thanks, It looks like it has a little shine, that's what made me think sealer. Looks really cool though.

Very impressed with your build. I like that you are teaching your son. I am working with my 9 and 6 y/o's to learn what I didn't at that age.... wait a minute, I am still learning!

anyway, great job and keep it up!

CUSHE63 · 06-07-2010, 09:05 PM

We got the kickpanels in shape today. I had a total rebuild of the drivers side, and a small patch on the lower passenger side. Driver's side in final filler, passenger side in etch primer.

CUSHE63 · 06-07-2010, 09:20 PM

Here is what we started with.....

VA72C10 · 06-07-2010, 11:29 PM

very nice work!

CUSHE63 · 06-23-2010, 11:38 PM

Here are the latest pictures.

VA72C10 · 06-24-2010, 12:01 AM

progress looks good!

sgaylord · 06-24-2010, 09:12 AM

Awesome progress. Keep up the good work. I'm jealous, you are so far ahead of me..

I'm still dealing with rust issues, getting close to having it licked though.

Steve

CUSHE63 · 06-24-2010, 10:23 PM

Today the right side panel got stripped !!!! Only one hand sized dent from an old repair. And the newer damage below where the Cheyenne mouldings are....

CUSHE63 · 07-01-2010, 11:03 PM

Nothing to it but to do it !!!!!! Jon and I got the right bed side panel straight and in primer.

CUSHE63 · 07-07-2010, 10:59 PM

Jon and I have been real busy with the '72 Cheyenne... It's gonna be painted the original colors. And it's getting close to that happening.

mcbassin · 07-08-2010, 08:43 AM

Awesome progress! Nice job on the body work!

jb1016 · 07-08-2010, 09:10 AM

Just found this thread. My Grandpa had a two-tone Dark Olive/White lwb just like this one. Nice to see it get rebuilt instead of going to the scrapyard. You do awesome work!

VA72C10 · 07-08-2010, 12:39 PM

Looking good!

CUSHE63 · 07-17-2010, 03:25 PM

Lot's done this past week. Rear frame treated and painted, underbed floor treated and painted, top of bed floor treated and painted, front bed panel painted inside. Inner Bedsides are next and bed wheel wells, then we will assemble the bed and spray bedliner on. (Raptor liner)

CUSHE63 · 07-19-2010, 08:13 PM

Bed is going together nicely....

**Dieselwrencher** · 07-19-2010, 08:46 PM

Very nice project! And way to go helping your son get a proper education! You wouldn't believe some of the ways I hear instructors are teaching body/collision students lately. It is almost like insurance adjusters are paying the teachers.

mcbassin · 07-19-2010, 11:17 PM

The bed looks great!

CUSHE63 · 07-23-2010, 11:09 PM

Bed is almost all bolted/welded together. Tomorrow will be a productive day !!!!
