Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
Just about, but they are not quite that low. I trust the stickability of paint more anyway. I do have some "icing" type glaze that I might try in the first stage of my next panels.

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
Well, I had to break down and bring in a hired gun, John Harden. A whiz body man from my friends body shop. The original cab that I used the rear of had been rear ended once and both sides or the cab back had dents from the bed smacking it. I had worked them a while, but to keep progress moving along and to keep everyone here on the board happy, I got John to come by today and whip them into shape. It might have taken me weeks to get them right - if then - and I knew ya'll would not stand for 3 weeks of pictures of me struggling.
On another note, the doors are ready now and I'm working on the fenders to get them done today too.

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
I just ran across this free video series online and thought I would share. They know a heck of a lot more than I do, so take anything I say with a grain of salt. http://www.ehow.com/videos-on_5135_c...paint-car.html

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
I don't have any sealer to spray on to keep all the primers and bondo and icing from acting up so we will have to wait on the blue. I did the hood since it was all clean metal with only epoxy primer on it.

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
Saturday night picture time
John was able to work both sides and the welded door. Right side is ready for a final skim coat as well as the welded side. The drivers cab corner will take bondo work and then icing. I found 2 high spots and 1 low spot on the top edge of the fender. A hammer blow and a little glaze will take care of them. I went ahead and ordered all my body side moldings so I could position them and then decide where the paint line should be. There is also a FAQ on the board showing where ALL the moldings go that someone scanned from the GM assembly manual.

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
I also have been researching my headliner all night and think I have a start. I won't be working on it anytime soon though.

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
So are you using suburban molding for the front and shortbed for the bed?

Upper molding is a little tricky though since burb upper molding is totally different than a truck. I'll be making some custom pieces out of longer truck ones for the rear doors.

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
Give James a call at Mar-K. I had him make the pieces you're talking about. Look in my suburban thread I think I have some pictures there..

I know I'm jumping around here a little, but it was just so tempting I couldn't resist.

How does that eastwood sound now that you have some stuck down does it have a nice solid thud or is it tin sounding still...??
