Makes for a long week don't it?

BTW nice progress!!

shortbed70 · 07-11-2009, 04:17 PM

yes it does but it will be well worth it soon.

shortbed70 · 07-15-2009, 12:12 AM

Heres some pics from today at 105 degree weather. I ground out about a half a can of bondo out of the drivers door so now I have some rust and dents to fix but nothing major.

alexxwing · 07-15-2009, 12:19 AM

bondo is a great tool when used right but some peaple think a filler is a dent remover my friends 73 had a inch of bondo on the fender haha we found out when he hit a pole and a chunk fell out haha truck is looking good tho

shortbed70 · 07-15-2009, 10:35 PM

I agree WHEN USED RIGHT but some people think it can fix all dents. So as you can see in the last pics the pile of mud I ground out and it only took me about 20 studs to fix the actual problem and one patch panel I will cut out and weld in tomarrow then I'll post pics. I will still have to set the gaps on the fender when I gat one but thats a later story... STAY TUNED and thanks for the views and kind words.. This board rocks and the people are awsome. If you can meet anyone whomever you can its an experience to say the least. Alot of use younger guys can learn alot from meeting some of the guys that have been around these trucks alot longer. PICS tomarrow when I'm done.

shortbed70 · 07-19-2009, 03:48 PM

PROGRESS I got the dash,hood,back of the cab primed and ready for guide coat and blocking. Here you go.

shortbed70 · 07-19-2009, 03:50 PM

joe231 · 07-19-2009, 05:06 PM

Nice!!!!

protrash64 · 07-19-2009, 06:44 PM

Lookin' good S/B70.......you're on a roll for sure.

shortbed70 · 07-19-2009, 07:56 PM

Thanks guys I'm trying to move right along to get it driving so I can move it in and out of the garage on its own instead of pushing it and I'm ready to drive it...I need to get the dekups setup so I can spray the roof inside and then its upside down sanding YAY...Hey progress is progress right. I also got the old truck out of my shop to my father in laws and he was givin me crap about what all has to be done and yada yada..

Alan's Classic · 07-19-2009, 08:45 PM

Nice progress.

It's always fun spraying primer.

jgh64pkup · 07-19-2009, 09:41 PM

looks good

shortbed70 · 07-21-2009, 06:28 PM

sanding SUCKS. Well the first round of blocking is done on the back of the cab and hood,now I need to sharpen up the welded hood seam some and fill some small spots then hopefully I can reprime thursday night.

shortbed70 · 07-26-2009, 02:12 PM

Well got the bottom of the drivers door patch tacked in and the hood seam is jaust about done (ALOT OF WORK) and roof is worked and primed. Now back to sanding.

shortbed70 · 07-26-2009, 02:17 PM

Forgot the pics.....

joe231 · 07-26-2009, 02:43 PM

MAN!!!
that hood looks amazing!!!

Alan's Classic · 07-26-2009, 04:53 PM

Saaaweeeeeeeet!!!

shortbed70 · 07-26-2009, 06:53 PM

Thanks guys the hood takes alot more work than I thought it would. Its worked out so far.

shortbed70 · 07-30-2009, 10:26 PM

Wow when things look straight block again I have a few more spots to fix on the back of the cab and some small spots on the hood but there almost done I will post pics when done. Hoods commin along nicely theres just two small spots I neeed to build up but thats it.

shortbed70 · 08-04-2009, 10:00 PM

Nothing new to report just slingin some mud to get my body line crisp on the drivers door and sanding the roof but all the spots on the back of the cab are done just waiting to get the rest done so I can prime the hood back of the cab and roof for the final time I hope. Then seam seal everything and shoot some epoxy on the inside of the cab.

protrash64 · 08-04-2009, 10:05 PM

Just caught up with this.....nice work and lookin' really good. I was joking about trying to keep up with you but no way

......new job is kickin' my butt and I have no juice left in the batteries. Cant wait to see some paint soon.

shortbed70 · 08-04-2009, 10:20 PM

Could be a LONG time for paint because I still havent decided on a color and my morgage company is screwin with my account and overdrew it twice costing me about 1200 more than I had so what do they do put it on my principal so now I'm trying to catch up on bills so the material I have is all I can get and then I'm done for a while. Working on it just helps me get my mind off BILLS and day to day stuff. Thanks for the words of insperation and I hope things work out and dont kill yourself working I wish I could get more hours...Hows yours comming.

shortbed70 · 08-04-2009, 10:25 PM

Heres a few pics after first priming, See all the low spots. You can just barley see sanding scratches in the primer so there not that bad but sure looks it. BTW this is my first DIY job without help.

protrash64 · 08-05-2009, 07:30 PM

Its hard to do it fast without tons of experience. I also keep seeing more stuff that needs attention as I go

....seems like it wont end, but it is good on keeping the mind busy and putting you to sleep really well after a day sanding.

daverod · 08-05-2009, 07:37 PM

Looks good so far. Your doing great for not having much experience. I look back to stuff I did 6 months ago and laugh. I hear ya about finding new stuff. I'm trying to get my seam on the front of my hood right. Yours looks great. You just keep getting more critical and picky and wanting to do better. And then you turn into
