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. ![]()

Re: 68 project
Was able to get the last color coat on the cab today and the inside of the fenders all colored along with the cowl panel. Ready to Scotch it all and lay the sayin clear on it.

Re: 68 project
Time to head out to the shop, hoping for a productive day and to get all the cab and front fenders clear coated and ready to bolt onto the frame. Still a small list of things to do on the chassis before I am ready to bolt the cab down though so will also be trying to tackle those in between coats drying.
