Thanks guys! Ive been sidetracked on another project so i haven't done much on the truck in a little while but i did manage to patch/fix some rust issues on my drivers fender. This fender wasn't to bad so i didn't need to replace the bottoms!

Things got slow once my wife sent my boy out to help!

I also tried my hand at recreating some of the rust/patina on the bottom of the fender. I think it turned out pretty good and i will do the rest once the truck is complete and back together! Heres the pics of that area i focused on start to finish.

The fender repair looks great! You matched that color perfect!

Ok finally got some time to update! I've been working on and off the truck for a little while so progress is slow! I've managed to finish all welding and body work on the cab! I put it into epoxy and high build primer/sealer and blocked where i needed to to get it ready for paint! I'm realizing I'm doing a lot of overkill for the patina truck i want to end up with but it will at least have a solid good quality foundation! Heres some pics of the cab metal work finished/ground.

Bodywork ( and my helpers! )

Wow,you got it looking great .

[hewittca]

wow! That is some impressive metal work. Looking forward to the rest of the project. I also have a dark green truck. You don't see too many of them in this color. Yours is some definite motivation!

[Shady Rascal]

Solid work ethic.

What paint are you using ?

Thanks! I'm using PPG Omni acrylic enamel I find I could get a good match and it blends pretty good once sanded and cleared with a Matt finish.

Little late to the build, but your work is top notch. I really like the spots you chose to fix patch the dash, way less finish work involved in those spots!

Thanks! Ya i figured those spots were perfect as there mostly covered by the glove box, dash pad or gauges.

Today was a good day as i started tearing down the doors and i also finally got some parts in that I've been trying to track down since i got the truck! My big concern was finding a tailgate with the right patina! Thanks to a fellow member on here that lead me to a seller! I paid a good buck for it but when i finally saw it in person it was worth it as the match is perfect!

[6t9camaro]

I also got a pile of trim! I was actually only looking for 2 pieces to change some damaged ones. I also wanted used ones to match the rest but i ended up having to buy a whole pile of it! Also got my nicely used and rusty center caps to go with my 15x8 wheels! One of them is in a little to good shape but i will fix that up and make it match! lol

[6t9camaro]

Got back to the doors today! I stripped all the guts out and have all new internals on order (LMC) Doors are nice and solid with some light rust but a lot of dents/damage at the bottom. I didn't want to go to crazy with fixing the damage but i did want to stop the rust so i cleaned it up and put the Por15 to the test again! (if it doesn't last then i will change out the bottoms) After the Por 15 dried i sanded them down and put a nice topcoat of green and clear over it.

Nicely done! I'll follow this along too. I've never seen that much re-pop metal go down without any drama. See guys installing all this x-bracing and such to hold it true but the doors still don't fit worth a sh!t. I didn't read the whole thing but did notice that you have six lug wheels? Thought you were using the '72 stuff?

Thanks! Yup there's a lot of aftermarket metal there! Aftermarket stuff always needs to be worked/tweeked to fit but for the most part it fit pretty decent! Ive seen a lot of x-bracing too and a lot of it is overkill! I tried to do the cab alittle different by removing the floor section while keeping the original rockers as lower braces. I used my rotisserie door bars as the upper braces. Doors alighn perfect (so far) lol. I do have the 72 five lug stuff but I think I've decided to keep it 6 lug. I like the narrower diff to run a fatter/deeper dished wheel. I think I'm going to buy the 6lug disc conversion for the front and see how the deep 15x8 looks all the way around?
