Thanks for helping me spend more money. Seriously though, one of the best trucks on here man, keep it up!

Awesome mission work, I may have to use my other talents and take a trip with my Church on the next building project they go on, must be very fulfilling .

I am trying to squeeze in some Chevy time, but not doing a very good job. Maybe next weekend.

awsum brotha !

[red71cheyenne]

Well, it took me two days to get all the way thru your build, but MAN!! Was it worth it! Great work and inspiration! This is going to be the same as my next project, I appreciate you figuring out all the headaches for me up front. I really love the newer HVAC idea too, but I may have to re-engineer it to keep the stock dash and controls.

Just a great build thread and I wanted to let you know your project rocks, can't wait to see it done.

[Dieselwrencher]

Congrats on doing such great work for other people! That's awesome.

Finished painting the green Denali! Now I can refocus on the crew.

Yes, but not because of your build Happy because of how blessed I am...and I am happy about all the missions work you've been doing....

....but I'm upset because you stalled to make sure you weren't finished by my ETA



















just kidding....


but I am glad to hear the burb will start to get some more work done on it soon

[jamie72]

this is going to be awsome... great work drew.

[drewskiren]

I finished up with the epoxy seam sealer that flows. I will still have some to do that will take the normal caulk type. Rear panel is blocked and ready for the last prime.

[68greg]

Drew, Any chance you'll be done with her in oh say around 4 months (roughly the time I have left over here in the sand box)? Can't wait to see it finished, should look really good!

[eagleuh1]

Whats this epoxy seam sealer that flows that you speak of? Oh and great work you do, both on and off the truck. Jim

Eastwood 2 K self leveling seam sealer. Very, very awesome.

Thanks for the kind words.

Beautiful work Drew. Don't know how this is the first day I have seen this thread, but will continue looking for it!

I really can't say when I might be done. I am currently over-blessed with work and am having a hard time carving out time for the crew cab. Plus summers are always filled with extracurricular activities. Christmas???

[Dieselwrencher]

Very nice work as usual. Did you paint that green unit in your portable paint booth too?

And, how did the color match and did you blend into the back doors? I have a Suburban about that same color that I should fix...

Yes I painted it in my poly booth with the door open and the nose of the truck outside. Amazingly not much trash in the paint. The metallic color is very hard to match and basically doesn't if you look in bright sunlight at strange angles. It's ok, but I don't really care since it is for sale with a salvage title. Painting the panels off the truck and laying flat lets the metal flake lay down differently than if the panels are mounted and are vertical. Metallic particles also sink to the bottom of the gallon can so latter paint work may be more metallic than earlier work. The metallic particles even sink in your spray gun, so earlier passes may look different than latter passes. All of it is VERY tricky and certainly not recommended for a novice.

You hit the nail on the head Drew.
Painting metallic sucks plain and simple. You really need a good gun that atomizes the paint good. Another trick is to mix the last coat a little thin and keep your fan wide and it will lay the metal down a little more evenly. tiger stripes suck
Your paint looks like it matches great. Keep the pics coming even if they are little skewed from the stein project. Always good information.

Yes, Tiger Stripes!!! I forgot about that issue. I didn't have that problem on this, but I have run into that before. I was using my smaller gun that has a small fan pattern so I had to do many passes. I was also trying to not have to do so many passes (hurrying) so I was not doing a good overlap on the previous pass. Oh man, talk about stripes! It would have been really funny if I wasn't so mad at myself.

[jeffg1010]

Man, I love it. Can I call dibs on it, when you finish it and decide you want another project? Of course, as a 'Burb guy, I am obligated to say "I cant BELIEVE you cut up that all original 'Burb." - there... I'm over it.

[hotrodchevy1999]

your project is looking good makes me with i had try to build a crew

[VA72C10]

Looking good. So when will the body parts all meet on the frame for the last (permanent) time???

After all is painted, I don't want overspray all over the engine and frame and like it is those are so easy to cover up. I can't tell how long that will be though.
