Electrical gremlins just aren't my strong point, but he's a whiz at it! ...Joe

Yes he's really helpful! I can't wait untill I actually get to help on his own truck. After all, I'm going to need something to do after I finish this one!

kyull67 · 03-23-2008, 01:32 AM

Big update everyone. It's finally painted!

bobbo · 03-23-2008, 06:14 AM

I know better than that!

jlaird · 03-23-2008, 06:34 AM

nice metal work. I've got to start mine soon and have never worked on sheet metal. Is it easy to get the hang of?

I would say it's fairly easy to learn, especially if you've welded before. Take the time to learn on some scrap metal and then work your way onto part of your truck that's not very visible. Also be patient when cutting the new panels to fit. It's alot easier to take it off then it is to replace it. Keep your welder on the low setting and stitch weld around the panel to keep it from warping on you. Practice is the only way to learn so just get out there and do it!

Looks like you dipped the truck in pink marshmallow cream. It's cool to put a face with the writing. I have one of my guys and me posing in front of a '48 Ford we restored last year, I might put that up in my build section.

Like how the progress is comming along.

Now I just need to find some fenders, next week there will surely be filler dust everywhere!
Good news, I sold my bike Yesterday! That'll help out with the engine and paint budget!

kyull67 · 04-01-2008, 08:53 AM

^Exactly! You win!

Richard8971 · 04-01-2008, 09:09 AM

Just kidding!

kyull67 · 04-02-2008, 11:58 PM

I haven't done much of anything on the truck lately. I didn't feel like driving to the paint shop today so I started on this instead. I'll probably put two gauges angled toward the driver in it. I think I like it? It looks better in person, I promise.

bobbo · 04-05-2008, 03:14 PM

Let me know when you're ready to drop off the engine. Need to get her running...

I was just thinking about that. I'm going to have it pinstriped but not sure what color would look best.

I wish! Hopefully next month it'll be there. I'll be there this weekend though, we're supposed to have pretty nice weather.

samwise68 · 04-08-2008, 04:30 AM

Looks like it's about time to make it look pretty and get it rolling man. Those pics of filler and reducer look like they mean business.

looking good as always, keep at 'er!

Anybody can BUY filler and reducer... Real business means APPLYING it to your project!

Let's see some new progress pics!

Don

bobbo · 04-08-2008, 07:20 AM

Getting the engine to the machine shop tomorrow!

Shouldn't be long before she's running!

kyull67 · 04-10-2008, 06:18 AM

I cleaned and painted my frame and transmission today, then I finished the hood and grille so they're ready for primer and the body filler is about 95% done on the rest of the truck. I still need to either buy or repair my front fenders and then we'll be spraying down some paint!

kyull67 · 04-10-2008, 06:24 AM

Here's a sweet car I saw this weekend. It could be my trucks cousin when it's painted, it's almost the exact same colors. Hopefully I'll be able to park next to it in May.

toomanytoyz · 04-10-2008, 06:25 AM

Your Truck has Come a Long Way & You should be Proud of all that you have accomplished with it, Can't wait to see it Painted.............

Your Truck & Don's (Richard8971) are My Favorite Build's of 67 Steppers

I hate to say it but Don won the race for Completion of his 1st, But then Again he cheated by being a Body/Paint Man

Well, my truck may be drivable but it doesn't mean I am done with my build.

I still have my 283 to rebuild and several issues to get completed before I am officially done.

As far as I am concerned, the race is still on!

I'm keeping watch on both of your guys' builds as well...

kyull67 · 04-18-2008, 06:35 PM

Well lately all I've been doing is a lot of sanding and I got bored with that so I had to do something mechanical. I started installing my parking brake stuff, still need a couple parts. Bobbo came over and helped me get started on my power steering so I can shorten my column. Then I did the white gauges and set the odometer back to zero. A big improvement for $30 and two hours. They'll glow blue at night.

**Palf70Step** · 04-19-2008, 12:37 AM

Boy do I know that feeling. The excitement of sanding

Looking good man!!

hotrod 80 · 04-19-2008, 03:11 AM

It's like filler on , sand , sweep , filler in the trash , repeat . Dust everywhere . Dash looks good though .
