I used Evercoat Glas-Lite reinforced filler for my initial bodywork...short strand fibreglass. Good stuff!!!

You could build a Corvette out of it, and Ive had some stuck on the floor for about 5 years

.

Wasnt jacking here 66stroker, just adding to the list of good Evercoat products.

Good luck with the arrival of the newby!!!!

**Captainfab** · 03-26-2009, 01:07 AM

I hope all goes well with the delivery.

Is this your first?

jchav62 · 03-26-2009, 09:57 AM

Any news? I hope all is going well...

shrunken66stroker · 04-02-2009, 10:29 PM

After a few days in the hospital my boy came home yesterday. Minor complications but now he's healthy and happy. Check him out.

Alan's Classic · 04-02-2009, 10:33 PM

I'm happy for you. I assume this is our first? It's an awesome feeling no matter which # it is. Just pretend this is a cigar.=

Strodder · 04-02-2009, 10:44 PM

Congrats.

Cute kid. He looks like his father without the paint mask.

Strodder · 04-02-2009, 10:46 PM

I'm just kidding he really is a cute baby. You must be proud. Have another cigar

*LILRED66* · 04-02-2009, 10:57 PM

Congratulations on the new addition. Hopefully, your son, mom and you are doing well.

Great use for it, but it goes away, if you use the factory hood hinges. This is the sweep area for the hood hinge, but I like your idea. I doesn't work nearly as good with the hinges in place, especially if you leave a tool there and close the hood...ask me how I know.

Congratulations on your new son. He is a cute kid. Hope all is well in your home.

Yea I remember when my little guy came home too. Now he's going to be 39.

aggie91 · 04-03-2009, 10:33 PM

Congrats on your new son. Hope mom and all are doing well. I remember bringing each of my 3 home and how overwhelmed I felt. Now my oldest is going to be 12 in a few months....

Contrats again!! Here is another cigar..

shrunken66stroker · 04-06-2009, 12:58 AM

Thanks for all the cigars guys. I'll be smokin' till he's 2. All is well with the family except the sleep situation. I do sleep but it's 30-45 minutes at a time and not between the hours of 2-5 am. I'll be zombiefied for the next 4-6 months till he gets on a sleep schedule. I'm not sure why I'm even awake right now. Goodnight.

gostranger · 04-06-2009, 05:58 AM

great job on the truck congrats on the new addition and man do i remember the no sleep period!!!!hang in ther it will work its self out

Strodder · 04-06-2009, 10:13 AM

We used to wake the kids up at 11pm, feed them, check there diaper, and put them back to bed. After a while they slept longer & longer until they slept through the night. It worked with both kids. Good luck. Hang in there sleepy head.

kizer · 04-06-2009, 12:27 PM

We found that putting a little baby rice cereal in their forumula made a HUGE difference because the little bit of rice would stick to his stomach and he wouldn't wake up every 3-4 hours wanting food.

Of course I think he was uh....... 5 or 6 months old when we started doing it...

daverod · 04-08-2009, 09:10 PM

All this and a kid in less then a month. Damn you have some skills. Maybe someday my welds will look like yours. Congrats on the kid.

Your truck is looking great.

Keep up the good work.

towrecker · 04-14-2009, 08:30 PM

great looking truck checked the whole thread out tonight,it reminds me of when i had my 63 naked

,but i left mine outside one day went to work,it rained ,what a feeling all the flash rust

. But you have to get it done before he gets in high school so he can cut doughnuts in the parking lot in it

!!! well you have a great looking new little boy he gets my vote over the truck though

!!! I hope all is well for you all and before you know it he will be turning those wrenches with you

.

DVLDOG · 04-29-2009, 07:37 PM

Can't wait to see more of the progress...great looking build.

Well, I'm back in action...sort of. I don't have a lot of time these days but yesterday I had just enough to mock up my new booster/master and take a look. It feels good to work on the old truck after over a month.

MacAttack · 05-01-2009, 02:03 PM

Wow. Really nice brake set-up.

Better have tight tooth fillings when you slam on the binders in that truck.

Mac.
