Re: Got it one piece at a time... 51 chev
Looking good. How did you strip the door down to bare metal?

Re: Got it one piece at a time... 51 chev
I sandblasted the inside of the door and all the edges and window frame. The outer door skin I stripped using 80 grit on a orbital sander and a wire wheel. I find blasting the outer skin ALWAYS causes warpage, no matter how careful you are!

Re: Got it one piece at a time... 51 chev
Made some progress this weekend, finally looks like I'm getting somewhere! I got all the welding and bodywork done on the cab so I painted the inside of the cab with POR 15. I love this stuff!
Looks a lot better with a coat of paint! [ATTACH]1869391[/ATTACH [ATTACH]1869390[/ATTACH |

Re: Got it one piece at a time... 51 chev
Gregski, I will try to remember to post a pic of my rad cradle mount. As far as the por 15, I didnt use their prep products inside the cab. I gave the whole interior, except the roof skin, a light sandblast, then applied the por 15. The bottom of roof skin was wire wheeled. Everything painted with the por 15 will be covered by carpet or interior panels. I have been painting interiors like this for many years with good results. If you use por 15 on any surface that is exposed to sunlight, it will not last long before it starts fading and peeling, in my experience

Re: Got it one piece at a time... 51 chev
There was a discussion on here recently about POR 15 lids welding themselves on after you had opened the can. I had last used mine a few months ago and the lid opened easily and the paint was still liquid. I put a piece of plastic over the opening, then put the lid on tight. Works for me! |

Re: Got it one piece at a time... 51 chev
definitely skills to pay the bills, I am following along hoping to see/learn how you mount the radiator support to the Camaro subframe, I recently bought a '54 and learned last night that the front clip is just resting on the subframe, yikes

Re: Got it one piece at a time... 51 chev
I have actually been working on my truck lately! I have been block sanding and more block sanding!! I have not posted pics because it really doesnt look much different before and after. If my day goes as planned I should have the cab and doors in final primer today!

Re: Got it one piece at a time... 51 chev
So I have been working on my truck a fair bit in the last few months. Nothing worth posting as I have been doing mostly bodywork and blocksanding and blocksanding some more! I do have most of my interior painted and the outside of the cab and doors are ready for paint. My frame is painted with all new front suspension parts installed, Motor and trans are in for the final time I hope! With all the things happening in the world right now the two trips I was planning on taking in the next month were cancelled so it looks like i can lock myself in my shop and work on my truck for the next few weeks!!! I dont have a box for my truck and my rear frame mods were such that a stock box wouldn't fit anyway so I'm building a box from scratch. I'm not very good at remembering to take pics as i go, but I will try to document my box build if anyone is interested. I had all my panels bent up at a local fab shop as per my crude drawings. Today i started putting the pieces together. This pic is of the cross members I had bent up being put in place

Re: Got it one piece at a time... 51 chev
Both boxsides held in place to see how everything fits together. I got most of it figured out today, I'll start welding it together tomorrow. I had all the panels made out of cold rolled 14ga. material

Re: Got it one piece at a time... 51 chev
I’ve been fitting and cutting my box panels to suit my liking. I usually start with a basic plan, then make changes on the fly. This is how my front bed panel ended up looking. I’ve built a few boxes over the years and I like if the panels follow the curvature of the cab

Re: Got it one piece at a time... 51 chev
Yeah that's why I asked. Tires look close. Easier to do it while the parts are light enough to manhandle.

Re: Got it one piece at a time... 51 chev
So I bought some teardrop shaped tailights at least 6 years ago because I liked the shape of them. I wasn't sure where or how i would mount them on this truck, but after trying a bunch of different things, I think I have figured out a look I like! What do you think, Good or bad idea?
