1967 C10 Custom Big Window

[Slick67]

Here are the pics I promised. Everything has been gone over again with bondo and sanded since I want the body to be lazer straight. This is getting old.....but the final product will be well worth it. Scuffed the bed with 180 grit, and the hood needed to go down to metal since the old paint on it looked like a roadmap of Texas. here are the pics.

Have to throw a pic up of my buddy's car. We are building both vehicles in his shop.....and he did give me the truck, so I gotta throw this out for him.

No. We have been using a bodyman that worked in a hot rod shop and he is helping us with the body and paint, etc. He gives us great pointers and shows us how and what to do, but he shot the paint.

Thanks bro! I do a little pinstriping for fun but I have always enjoyed laying out graphic style work like that. Here is a pic of one of my guitars that I am putting back together, I painted it with krinkle paint and I did the pinstripes freehand.

Alright, sanding for the first round is done! After bondo and sanding the primer went on with a mist of black paint. Started the first round of longboarding on the cab this weekend also. If you are thinkin about doing this yourself.......don't! Get professional help!! A bodyman, a shrink, and a second job to pay the bodyman and the shrink!!! You'd have to be crazy to WANT to be a bodyman or a shrink for that matter.

[my67chevytruck]

Progress! looking good!

[nuke1]

Thanks alot man, i knew i needed a shrink, heck even my pyhsio guy thinks that because of what i do for a living, now besides that, the truck is looking great and a lot of progress, very good to see.

Also got the bed in epoxy primer and first coat of primer should be done this week. Labor Day was exactly that! Thanks for all the comments, I was feelin down about the project since my date of paint completion has long passed. Pics will be up when the website is back up!

Anytime bro. After two cases don't expect a straight line. Maybe a squiggly line down the hood would start the next big fad............drunkin pinstriping, all the cool kids are doing it!!!

Oh yeah.....sold my Bug to fund the truck!! I'll miss it.
