Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up

I'm really thinking of poaching that drip rail idea now that I see it smoothed out. Make sure you post up pics after you prime it out. I can't wait so see it somewhat finished.

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up

Do you have everything you need? I still have to finish this Ranchero, and install a power brake unit on a Mustang. I've been waiting for parts. How about some time next week? Call me tomorrow.

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up

More blocking and shaping the drip rail getting both sides the same shape. What a PITA.
To see the flaws better I sprayed some primer on it.





It's really time consuming. I'll be back on it today, still need to mud the back.

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up

Dennis I am having a really hard time keeping you working on your truck without Dave around to help out.
I like the looks of the shaved drip rail!!!
It looks like you have enough projects going on!!!

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up

Yeah, tell me about it. I just took in a 1940 Ford Deluxe Woodie for a frame off restoration. Also a 71 Caddy convertible is coming in as soon as I sell that Ranchero. The customer has them lined up for me. Then he has a 1960 MG for me to put together. And I'm supposed to be semi retired.

I think that is why he stays self employed, so he can take off September and October to camp in the woods.


I dont hunt anymore, We just camp ,drink, ride 4 wheelers and watch football and call it man camping. Bonfires and camp cooking.
We take usually 6 to 8 5th wheels/ trailers/motor homes, at least 4 generators, a satellite dish and several TVs.
I did buy a wolf tag this year in case one wanders into camp.
We have a nice spot just off the highway where nobody goes , there is not any game there to bother us and it is a great camping spot!!!
Three miles from the liqueur store and gas station in town.

My kind of camping. We do the same out in the desert with our off road buddies. I have a Toy Hauler and a Rhino.

I've been working on a 1961 MGA for almost 2 years. I just epoxied it yesterday and I'm getting ready to shoot some high build primer. Good thing there's no deadline. If I didn't have a full time job I'd be dangerous.

But I don't think you will work as cheap as me. Remember I also have other incomes. SS and retirement from Snap-On.

It wouldn't be the first time. This is his truck, and the next picture is one of the trucks he built.





Plus he's on HD Theater in Cafe Racer. He was on last year, and will be on more this year. Coming up soon in the 13th episode.

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up

drip rails are looking good...still happy you decided to go that route? glad to see you still making some progress, even with all the other cool customer projects that put yours on the back-burner

and congrats to your son! i remember those trucks on the Streettrucks mag cover, & i think i probably have those issues stored in a box somewhere, haha

Thanks. I have a big collection that Jay has ever been in or built. He was also on Monster Garage (the White Trash episode.) I have that CD. He went to work for Jessie James after Monster Garage.

I have no idea where he got his talent.
