thanks fellas.its a little slow going lately.mostly small boring tedious jobs.but today i did get most of the front clip in filler.im not a psychic but i see alot of block sanding in my future haha.i should have some pics tomorrow.when i get home.

(joey) · 04-17-2011, 07:03 PM

nothing too exciting in this update.i spent the weekend blocking,and blocking and more blocking.im going to have to say the shaping grill will probably be the most time consuming part of the body work.so many curves and sharp edges but it turned out well.had a buddy come over and help out so that was a bonus.

dnd1978 · 04-17-2011, 07:17 PM

Looks great! You just got to love blocking & blocking & more blocking. But in the end it looks great!

still blocking.i moved to the roof and the door gap.so far so good.my buddy showed me a great way to spread filler perfect along gaps.use a sign like a garage sale sign and stick it in the gap when your applying filler.it worked great.hers a few more pics.had my better half over today giving a hand.its amazing how well she does with body work.

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 04-22-2011, 10:29 PM

Looks pretty good..

slick copper · 04-23-2011, 04:41 AM

(joey) · 04-23-2011, 05:12 PM

Man this truck is sick! I can't wait to see how it looks once its all back together. It makes me want to get out there and start working on my truck.

thor · 05-05-2011, 08:43 PM

That truck is smoove! Your coefficient of drag will be under 0.30 if you keep this up! Maybe even under 0.25, the drag of the hideous Prius.

(joey) · 05-06-2011, 06:13 PM

i cant wait to get it done either.probably wont be done for my wedding day but soon after it should be rollin.
the drag of the prius comment got me laughing my a$$ off.good one
on a side note,got the rear end blasted,brackets shaved off and new brackets for the control arms and primer/paint should be the first of the week.this weekend will be more blocking and shaping.stay tuned

yunkyarddog · 05-07-2011, 12:31 AM

SIR may i request closeup pick of your well done grill?

where the grill meets the light buckets and top & bottom just wanna see how you made it work

THIS IS BY FAR THE BEST LOOKIN GRILL FOR GMC PICKUPS BYFAR IMO IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN STOCK

(joey) · 05-08-2011, 06:33 PM

ok man,i went over today before i saw your post.i got a few pics if they dont work for you i will get more.what i did was simple.cut the center cross out,..the 4 missing sections where the cross meets the sides and top i simply welded in pieces i cut from the cross piece.bought a billet grill for a 73-83 then laid it on top of the 67 grill.traced looking down around the headlight buckets and used a cut off wheel to cut it out.then used a press to get the right bend i needed.hope this helps

thats a long read mr.thanks for checking it out.heres a few more pictures of the progress.so close to primer time.

slick copper · 05-08-2011, 11:56 PM

Sweet man! Can't wait to see it all primered up! Keep it up!

jcaugmented · 05-10-2011, 09:35 AM

I dig it man! A very unique build. I'm as excited as everyone else to see what you do next!

(joey) · 05-10-2011, 06:14 PM

well next will hopefully be finish stripping,priming,painting the rear half of the frame then install front suspension.i say hopefully because im doing the frame in my drive way and we are on day number 22 of rain so its a major holdup on the build.i got my rear end ready to come home tomorrow and ordered a 444c compressor/pressure switch/4 cross drilled rotors and ceramic brake pads last night.also have my new control arms and brackets almost complete so the rear suspension should be mocked up in place real soon.i will keep you guys updated

(joey) · 05-13-2011, 05:27 PM

mmmmmm primer.managed to get some highbuild primer on the beast today.its so nice to see it one color again.one step closer

**67cheby** · 05-13-2011, 05:30 PM
