RenoKeene what did you use on your panel it looks great.

[RenoKeene]

Thanks, Scrubed them down with Dawn (in the bathtub), sanded with 400, scuffed with scotch brite, scrubbed again, cleaned with SEM 38353 plastic and leather prep, sprayed with SEM 39863 plastic adhesion promoter, applied SEM color coat (Santa Fe & Brite White). 4 coats of color.
Will put on 2 coats of Low Luster Clear when it comes in tomorrow. Also going to paint the groove around the scroll body color (not giving away all my secrets!). Did the console to match.
VERY IMPORTANT: READ ALL THE SEM DIRECTIONS!
Reno
P.S. If you are married don't try this in YOUR bathroom.

Very interested in your finishing process, my cypress will be here this week. I'd like to make it look natural but last forever.

So far today, here's what I have done to my truck
•Drove it to work (in the rain)
•Hit the lock button on my remote, the actuator broke inside the door panel
•Set off the alarm in my work parking lot at lunch trying to get back into my truck with a broken lock actuator
•Got home for lunch and took drivers side door panel off to remove actuator
•Remove actuator, go to put door panel back on, and one of the nuts that holds the armrest screw falls of into the door. Get that screw put back in, and start with door panel again.
•One of the nuts that holds on the door panel falls out into the door. Get it back in and go to put on door panel again. Repeat this three times.
•Get everything back on, and threaten to kick door in. Not really, but I was frustrated.

I really didn't do much of anything to my truck. One of my wippers was squeaking so I took the cowl off to squirt it with some lube. I swapped out one of my side mirrors legs (I have tripod mirror mounts and was deciding if I liked the long or short legs. I went with the short), I squirted some white lithium on my pass. side window tracks 'cause it was getting a little tough to roll up and down, I decided to put the original glove box door back in, and last thing I did was detail the inside a little (clean it up a little really). So ya not much to really speak of.

I've been disassembling the Blazer for the past couple of weeks to get it ready for body and paint in mid February. I have a ways to go yet.

[60ratrod]

took the heads, tpi plenum-runners-base, and the intake off of the old engine in to be cleaned and checked. heads are getting a full overhaul with new guides and found that my tpi base is cracked so now i gotta source out a new one. but i did order a set of tubular engine frame mounts off ebay since i let the old engine mount pads go with the old engine. these are the ones that i got.

at least i have a couple of passenger saddle style engine mounts sitting in my garage somewhere. besides i've been wanting to get some of these anyway

I bought 100 sq. ft. of Fat Mat for my truck. Hope to stick that on this Saturday. Yesterday I bolted the doors and fenders back on. I'm slowly getting it back into 1 piece.

[Navy Mechanic]

Adjusted out of wack toe in enough to drive to alignment shop tomorrow.
Threaded a brass fitting into rear end to hook up vent hose.
Centered rear end.
Installed new glove box and ash tray bumpers.

[project 67 sub]

got some more parts to fix some of my brake line issues, and some 67 armrests.

[67chevy1series]

that is an optical illusion! you think you want and need those arm rests but you dont what you need to do is send em to me!

[project 67 sub]

haha. and i got them both for about $12 and some change from the salvage yard, was gonna grab the fender the was really strait except the rust in the front lower corner so i ended up leaving it because of that reason

[67chevy1series]

well ill give you 15 for em was the fender the passenger side?

[ItsRandy]

Removed windshield wiper motor and linkage etc. Removed windshield (in pieces). Removed kick panel vent doors. Removed headlight and wiper switch. Removed dome light. I figure I will be ready to spray over cleaner all over the inside of the cab by this weekend.

you bet yah, they wanted $50 + tax for it, was gonna get it till i seen that issue.

[67chevy1series]

i have a clean 68 fender and would love to have that fender! was it rusted through the hole front cup or was it just a small peice

[project 67 sub]

almost the whole bottom of cup, poked at it a little bit after i pulled the rags out of it, and the hole started growing

[67chevy1series]

so would i need to cut the whole cup from the the body line down

[project 67 sub]

most likely

You can drive it though, huh?

Some of these days, when it's cold and wet, and generally depressing, I forget that I LIKE to wrench. On these days, I'd rather have a truck that's as nice as yours
(hell, wouldn't even have to be THAT nice) that I could tinker with if I wanted to...And drive it in the mean-time. In my experience, that's a great way to save money, too.

For me, tinkering's dangerous. It leads to the hard stuff.

That new truck of yours looks very sweet.

Replaced the battery and added more tranny fluid. Now off to register and get new custom plates. I may also order my drop spring and leafs but gotta check the wallet first!
