Yeah we'll see what happens. Union Pacific is not the best company to work for that's for sure. Least the shop I was in was pretty bad. I'm keeping tabs with BNSF and G&W. G&W happens to be close to home as well so hopefully they'll be hiring soon. I'll be back on the truck in a week for sure man.

Thanks man! Worse could happen I'm sure....but I get to go back to my trucks so I'm happy. 64 GMC needs brakes and steering and the 66 needs to be finished so Plenty to cover this year for sure!

Thanks buddy! Hopefully that'll happen this year as well. Motor is literally a couple hours away from being a runner. lol

Average Joe · 04-07-2019, 01:33 PM

Well, that sucks about the job. It sounds like it was a good experience though. It will definitly look good on a resume if nothing else.

**TJ's Chevy** · 07-16-2019, 12:12 AM

Months have gone by and I haven't yet even had the chance to get back on this ol gal. Been catching up with a crap ton of life since I've been back. Anyhow! Got it out for the first time this year a few weeks ago and into the sunshine. I've also been fighting with my internet company being down ALOT lately so that also explains my lack of activity on here.
Yesterday being Sunday I pulled the truck out and tinkered on finalizing what it would take to get this 292 fired up and running. Needless to say......Not much at all. Fuel, water, oil, and priming would allow it to roar to life. Gotta fill the trans and put the drive shaft in as well. Folks it looks like I'll be firing it up FINALLY very soon. Work has been NUTS and I have little time for anything these days, but I'm planning for the beginning of August to hear this motor for the first time.

Until then folks! If anything else happens I'll be updating long as my interwebs work!

**Palf70Step** · 07-16-2019, 07:15 AM

Glad to see you back at it. Looking foward, as I know you are, to hearing the old gal.

straight6chevyguy · 07-16-2019, 02:22 PM

I'm ready and waiting!

**TJ's Chevy** · 09-12-2019, 09:36 PM

Well it's about time something got done on this ol gal. Had the day off today and the weather was sunny and cool so out I went. Did the body work and got the fenders primed in. 3 good coats on each of them. Hoping tomorrow evening after work I can fill prime and put some paint down.

**66ChevyMax** · 09-13-2019, 11:45 AM

Looking Good TJ!

**Palf70Step** · 09-13-2019, 12:01 PM

**TJ's Chevy** · 09-15-2019, 11:08 AM

Well yesterday evening and into the wee hours of this Sunday morning I got the fenders fill primed, sanded, & painted. Don't have pictures of the finished product yet as I was to tired to take any more but here's what I have for the steps along the way. Fenders were done in 3 base colors like the grill support.

**TJ's Chevy** · 09-15-2019, 11:15 AM

I don't have any pictures of the silver but where the last primer is on the stripe is where I painted that then cleared the whole thing. More pictures for ya'll later.

**TJ's Chevy** · 09-15-2019, 09:15 PM

Got some pictures of the finished fenders. Only took pics of one cause the other looks the same and it was still hanging in the booth. Cut and buff and they are ready for good. Catch ya next time folks.

**Palf70Step** · 09-15-2019, 10:50 PM

Well Thursday(yesterday) I spent some of the day color sanding and getting these panels painted up. 5 heavy coats of clear on them all so plenty of shine and will pop even better with a cut and buff. Hopefully start on the hood again if the weather holds!
