Re: Project - '69 4x4 named "Patches"
not gonna paint it right now... do you have a hitch? There are two near me for cheap...
YOu could fill that sucker up and use it for surplus for your other vehicles! ![]() I think mine will be nice and hidden behind the hitch. We'll see in the spring when I put it all together... I have seen those powdercoated and they looked sharp.

![]() ![]() I disassembled the bed here a while back and junked the bedsides. They were shot beyond feasible repair. I kept the tailgate for the inner parts, but it'll be scrapped as well eventually. Believe it or not the steel bed floor is in good shape, so I'll reuse it and the wheel humps. I'm sure you saw the new bedsides and other parts I bought off of craislist. I owe that deal to my neighbor Alan. ![]() The replacement cab is in 10 times better shape than my original one so that'll help with the bodywork part of the build. Once I figure out what I'm doing everthing will be ok. ![]() I was in 2/2 as well.

Re: Project - '69 4x4 named "Patches"
Yeah, my lovely better half asked me this weekend "how much money did I have tied up in my "project" now?"
![]() Hindsight is always 20/20 they say. I was just telling msgross the other night that you never buy a truck from a guy that owns a junkyard. ![]() ![]() I'm learning as I go thanks to this board. I'm basically doing this truck as a tribute to my grandfather. He had a '72 2wd olive green one. I was there from '92-'96. It was my primary duty station, but of course being a grunt (0311) I travelled all over....Japan, Korea, California, Alaska, Cuba, Australia. I kick myself in the butt for getting out because my 20 years would've been up in 3 years.

Never, ever admit to her how much ya have invested ![]() Nice tribute to your Grandfather, mine is being built for my Father. My '62 Chevy was stolen from in front of my house on Mother's Day, we found it later in a train station, a total write off...I went off to boot camp, then ITR, came back home on leave after about 6 months and there sitting in our driveway was my '62 all painted and restored. Of course it had the factory tires and hubcaps, which I quickly switched out for Crager S/S's and wide tires, but he did have all the rest of the car right

That's a pretty cool "bitter-sweet" story about your '62. I can only imagine your reaction when you got home and saw it in the driveway. ![]()

Re: Project - '69 4x4 named "Patches"
I was able to get the 350 painted this weekend finally. My wife and daughter went shopping Saturday so I was able to "stink" up the house with paint fumes.
![]() ![]() It turned out pretty good for a rattle can job. I didn't paint the valve covers because I'm replacing them. Primer ![]() Duplicolor's Chevy Orange ![]() ![]()

Re: Project - '69 4x4 named "Patches"
I don't see any runs, or sags, so I'd say it was a success. Gotta luv a SBC in chevy orange
![]() That'll teach the women folk to go out shopping ![]()

Re: Project - '69 4x4 named "Patches"
Yeah, I took my time painting it to avoid sags or runs. I ended up spraying the primer and orange in 3 light coats each until I got even solid coverage with both. I waited about 20-30 minutes between coatings. I admit I wanted to spray it in one coat, but I had to remind myself to take my time. It turned out really good if I do say so myself.
