Worked a little tonight and got the other cab corner on. I need to finish putting any heat on the cab so I won't mess up my interior paint.

Nice work as always Drew keep it up!

VA72C10 · 03-18-2011, 11:28 PM

Looks good!

drewskiren · 03-19-2011, 04:35 PM

Craigslist is the best!
2 days ago I posted an ad that I had a black console I wanted to trade for a flip seat console. Today a guy showed up and we swapped even. I couldn't be happier and neither could he! While he was here I also sold him $70 of worthless plastic interior parts that were cracked or scratched on his truck that I would have ended up throwing in the trash. Nice.

VA72C10 · 03-19-2011, 09:03 PM

cool deal!

drewskiren · 03-19-2011, 09:14 PM

Weak Picture Time.

I spent most of the day doing prep work and you would never know.

I did manage to get a fair bit of seam sealer in my hair.

Later, I put my old tag in the back window so I could drive around.

VA72C10 · 03-19-2011, 09:22 PM

do you need a smog test to drive on that rolling cart?

463 · 03-19-2011, 10:51 PM

Drew: congrats on your great build (in progress). as i watch your build unfold i just have to ask as you have enough time to sleep but now you have found extra time that you could drive around too?

your just the best Drew. best wishes and keep the faith.

Setting up the "booth," getting ready for some paint.

drewskiren · 03-20-2011, 08:15 PM

That looks killer!

drewskiren · 03-20-2011, 09:12 PM

The flash makes the color look different in different photos, but you get the idea.

drewskiren · 03-20-2011, 09:24 PM

Betcha thought I couldn't get it done.

Drew,

Having done a complete rebuild of my '67 Corvette, I have an immense appreciation for your creativity, craftsmanship and amazing speed.

That truck will be a real beauty and a wonderful "family" vehicle. Well done hardly seems to be adequate praise.

jugernot · 03-22-2011, 08:14 PM

I have seen this thread many times but never opened it till now. That is quite a build and will be a sweet ride. Nice work

So tha whole HVAC system is contained in tha cab & there is nothing on tha outter fire wall like a stock system?... That has me thinking...

Yes, it is all inside. It probably works a lot better because of that. You won't want to do it though because you cant fit a radio anymore.

Thanks, but there are plenty of flaws I could point out. Most of my interior will get covered in something, I made sure my fake door and dash look perfect though.

I really think a lot of ya'll could paint if you just practiced a little. Then you wouldn't have to go through paint shop hell.

BlueJeep · 03-20-2011, 09:46 PM

Looks good! What did you use for a paint gun?

Made by Sharpe. Gun is a smaller gun called a Finex. 1.4 fluid tip. Better for tighter spots, but not super small.

Thanks..i got a 81 square...i'd only lose tha glove box & who needs that..lol

Tha paint looks good.

kmdracer · 03-20-2011, 09:24 PM

Is that a factory blue? Either way, looks great. For some reason, I had it in mind that you were going to paint it like the pic in your avatar.
Are you going to do a two tone?
