Re: 1972 Cheyenne Restoration
Your detailed build thread is inspiring to me to address the rust issues on my truck. Excellent work!

Re: 1972 Cheyenne Restoration
Great progress! You may have already said, but what is green primer you are using? or is that some kind of sealer? thanks!

Re: 1972 Cheyenne Restoration
Thanks, It looks like it has a little shine, that's what made me think sealer. Looks really cool though.

Re: 1972 Cheyenne Restoration
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!

Re: 1972 Cheyenne Restoration
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.

Re: 1972 Cheyenne Restoration
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!

Re: 1972 Cheyenne Restoration
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.
