I don't have much of an update today. We got the other door hung and will try to get them painted this week. The front sheet metal shipped today so hopefully it gets here soon.

Camaroguy · 01-24-2017, 06:38 PM

The top of the doors are getting sprayed with white today.

coreyjhen · 01-24-2017, 08:41 PM

I'll have to stop in and see your truck next time I'm in Farmington. Hey, I might make a trip up there just to do that!

Camaroguy · 01-24-2017, 08:56 PM

For sure, any time. They are building a killer '69 Camaro right now too. Has a 900 hp lsx in it. It's worth the trip just to see it.

Camaroguy · 01-25-2017, 04:29 PM

Top of the doors in white.

Camaroguy · 01-30-2017, 04:15 PM

We got the doors painted and color sanded and buffed. They look killer!

Passenger side is hung already too.

**GR8-68** · 01-30-2017, 04:21 PM

Wow, this truck is looking great and coming along quickly

**mattfranklin** · 01-31-2017, 12:16 AM

Beautiful paint. Great project, too.

Not yet, I'm still rehabbing me knee from the surgery I had at the end of November. Dr. says no kneeling or squatting yet so its a little hard to get any work done at the moment. Hopefully soon though.

coreyjhen · 02-01-2017, 11:01 AM

It's looking great. I have a question, though: Why are you painting it in pieces? Obviously, your dad and his crew are pros and know what they're doing, but I was always told to do the jambs and hidden areas, then bolt it back together and paint the whole exterior at once. Is that outdated thinking?

knomadd · 02-01-2017, 11:25 AM

The paint looks good!

Can't wait to see more progress pics.

This is more important if you are painting metallic or pearl paints than solid colors. It's also cheap insurance that the panels are all the same, but not absolutely necessary. Weather and paint mix can come into play, but if the paint is from the same batch, and mixed really well, there shouldn't be much of a difference on a solid color.

No, not outdated at all. My dad prefers to paint in pieces like this when he can. It is a lot less taxing on him (he will be 70 this year and has been in the game a loooooong time) and he ends up with better quality.

However, when painting metallic, you really have to have it fully assembled in order for it to look right. The paint on this truck has no metallic.

Well hang in there, man. Can't wait to see some updates.

It took a couple months for my door weather stripping to take shape.

looks great again.

**GAc10boy** · 02-07-2017, 04:24 PM

That blue really pops. Looks great!

Bennett68C10 · 02-07-2017, 05:25 PM

I love this truck more and more every time I see it!

MMcMasters · 02-07-2017, 05:52 PM
