Re: 68 project
Well I have been plugging away at my cab the past week there was a number of places I was not satisfied with so more grinding and welding and filler work. Sunday I was able to finally shoot the interior color and also used the excess paint I had left to shoot a nice build coat on the firewall and cowl area. I have just a bit of tiuchup work on the outside sheetmetal and then I can tape it out and shoot color on the outer cab.

Re: 68 project
Cab is moving right along and the color looks great. I'm working the same areas on mine now trying to get color sprayed this month...probably won't happen.

Re: 68 project
Thanks everyone, my plan is to soon enjoy driving it. Then I can focus on building a garage to keep it in.

Re: 68 project
I worked right next door to your cabinet shop today. I didn't realize it until I was leaving. I did the heating and air on y'alls shop years ago when it was built. That place has been many things. I wished I'd caught that was your shop. I would've stuck my head in. I need to come by some time.

Re: 68 project
Stinky place to the right. I think now the place in there does work for spectrum. We do right much work for the folks that own the properties. They used to do a lot of commercial work but that pretty much dried up. Now we do pretty much service work and change outs.

Re: 68 project
Who ever said restoration is easy ? But it sure is rewarding when you can say your hands and sweat built this machine.
I wasn't real pleased with the drip rails the way they looked so smoothed them out a bit this morning and got it reprimed. I love the smell of fresh bondo and primer.

 Haha, I have never redone anything, I even fixed that spot on the bottom and back of the cab that you won't see when it is installed I wondered what happened to you, have to finish the exhaust pipe then the cab can go on.
