yeah those electric ones are so sweet but seem to be a bit pricey for me been trying to think up of what to use to build some couldn't be to hard thats just a little servo motor im sure that goes one way then the other when power hits them

[KroAutomotiveInc]

still on the todo list for the upcoming weekend and week

1. Pass door panel needs wet sanded and painted with possibly 2 more coats of blue then taped off and paint the gloss black on everything that's raised then 2 coats of clear coat.


2. Driver door panel needs to be cleaned one last time then do primer i will do 2 coats of primer right off with the 15 min drying time in between them then i wet sand it and primer it agian i do this about 3 times. Then a final wet sand i use a long sand block on the flat areas where i can but the rest is by hand. Then i will do a coat of blue and do what i said to the pass side from there.


3. Drive door jam is ready to be primed but pass side has had no prep work done to it yet.


4. Driver and pass door need prep to be primed.


5.Front bumper mounts and front bumper need primed and painted gloss black going to do the grill and bumpers with a brush to give them a stronger paint job.


6. Rear bumper prep prime and paint


7. Rear axle needs one last spray down with cleaner and the hose then its ready along with the back half of the truck to be primed and painted gloss black with a brush.


8. The wheels needs prep primer and painted flat black i plan on getting all the org wheels from my 64 to put on this truck with a org looking tire as tall as i can get it with the same width of something org when the tires on there give what there worth.


and i think that's everything lol

Kro, I like the one you chose the best out of those options. Have you thought about painting the frame, or some of the chassis components blue too?

Something like on post #49 here. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...=434093&page=2


McMurphy, I took pictures of my truck, and several other ones I found and drew over the top of them in AutoCAD. They are full size drawings of the truck, that can be scaled down for printing. I just finished a stepside one last night, and worked some more on a rear view of mine.

If Kro... (hint hint hint) will get me the picture I needed from the front of his truck, I will get to work drawing one of those up too. No hurry though Kro, got a lot going on the next few weeks. (Sturgis Baby!!!)

i have thought about doing the transfer case and drive lines sure i could find a few other things to hit with blue to!

[chevy_man5]

I liked the idea of putting some color underneath. Most everyone paints everything underneath black. I think some body matching color, or silver/gray (not chrome) would really make things pop under there. It would be a pain to keep clean, but would look cool when it was.

Hey there Chevyman5, if you have a drawing of a 65-66 front I could sure use it!
Either pop it on my thread, or shoot it to me in PM please!
I dont draw so well with the computer, I do much better with a pencil!
Thanks.

Sorry to jack your thread Kro !!

[chevy_man5]

Kro, I ran across this picture too, I guess it was a fire truck at one point, used for grass fires. That is a SERIOUS bumper!! LOL Also, check out the spotlights!

I am going to be heading down through Utah on 8/7, or 8/8, maybe I could swing by and meet you, and actually lay eyes on your toys!

[KroAutomotiveInc]

that thing is sexy and yeah that is one hell of a bumper thats like a 2 foot plat form lol

[KroAutomotiveInc]

and about you coming to utah that sounds awesome i live around the slc area in draper

[chevy_man5]

I am heading for Sturgis, and that is a quicker route than going through Yellowstone. The route takes me through Ogden, then off on I84 to I80, so looping down to Draper, then back up to I80 shouldn't be too bad. I will be heading back home that way too, so could meet up then if it doesn't work out on the way there. I'll be coming back on 8/15 or 8/16.
