Thanks Jim. Don't worry, the truck won't be forgotten about, this allow me to spent more time on the truck to try yo do things the right way. Plus the parents won't let me forget about it

Cameron 1137 · 09-06-2011, 08:38 PM

Update time. Been getting ready for the Nats this weekend so i did some semi- experimental paintwork on the roof. i thought it looked silly with black and white and rust so i masked and bombed it black, and threw the paint divider stainless back on, i think it looks ok for now

Also did something that i have been wanting to do for a while, with a lot of help from my mom, she had the patience to sit down and mask it all. I Painted the letters on the Tailgate!. i think they look good in orange. ill take a full shot when i get it on tomorrow.

Thanks for looking, See ya tomorrow

I helped my dad with an electrical job at this hunting cabin. its pretty nice for a cabin! i saw it as he perfect opportunity for a photo shoot.

**oldman3** · 10-04-2011, 11:25 PM

How bout it! i drove up and was like, wow nice house, then my dad says its not a permanent residence, its just their (huge a$$) cabin they only use during hunting season.

Cameron 1137 · 10-27-2011, 07:16 PM

My truck is white now....
and i didn't paint it.

I dislike this stuff very much

oldblue1968chevy · 10-31-2011, 01:08 PM

Thanks for dopping in John!, yeah I'm 17 now, 18 in march graduating in 2012

Ive been subscribed to your build since i joined the board!

its hard to tell the exact weight difference since my old gate was filled with mud, but i'd say that the original one is a bit Heaver (thicker) than the repro. its still a good gate though

Cameron 1137 · 12-11-2011, 07:16 PM

well, I'm in parts collecting mode now that the truck in in storage for winter. any updates will only be to show off any parts i get. i can't wait until spring!

**oldman3** · 12-11-2011, 08:07 PM

Glad to hear from you, keep us updated on the parts....Jim

Cameron 1137 · 12-25-2011, 09:40 PM

Hope Everyone have a very merry Christmas!

no truck parts, but i got many other nice things

Again, Merry Christmas!

Cameron 1137 · 02-27-2012, 07:44 PM

I think is about time to bring this thread into the new year, so here we go...

First on the list: ACE Chevrolet dealer tags from Sharpie.
there is some grey (primer?) on them but they should clean up nice.

Next, a Package of Parchment goodness. Door panels, seat belts and visors all from Randy (teeitup).

Before cleaning:

Visors and belts. (the new armrests are from Chris (badboy007))

Some pics of the belts:

And a before shot:

After: They still have a few stains here and there, but all in all a big transformation, the look better in person though, the camera kept catching weird shadows.

i did some light cleaning on the panels, and my mom is now working on getting all of the dirt out of the crevices. She loves doing this stuff

More pics when the door panels are done and the dealer tags are SHINY
