Thanks Dale, John...if I dont screw up the buffing again, the cab is next for paint...
After all the re-dos ive had I'll have to get some more paint..I dont think I've got enough left to paint it...especially if I have to do it more than once...

Greg, What ya want to do now is get another 2 qts or so & start using it on the first coat when you go for the cab. Maybe even the second coat on the roof, back of the cab, ect.
Saving the paint matched to the doors & fenders for the last 2 coats & then touch-ups down the road id always a good plan. Lorne

I dont always reply on here but Im always watching as this is my favorite build , Keep at it .

**mongocanfly** · 10-18-2020, 12:15 PM

Thanks for the support John..!

**mongocanfly** · 10-18-2020, 04:35 PM

thanks Lorne...so far their paint matching has been spot on...but that's not a bad idea

67ChevyRedneck · 10-19-2020, 08:58 AM

Ugh. At least they're done now.

**mongocanfly** · 10-19-2020, 10:31 AM

I know Jesse....I sure hope they're done...

Sorry the link didn't work for you, it worked fine for me. Any way, maybe it's better that it didn't work for you, might be too much temptation. I'm not sure why I love this thing, It's tempting me too..

It's cool, I love it too.

Old57 · 10-19-2020, 11:19 AM

Wow, it sure has come a long way since I last read through the forum. Looking great! Sorry about the paint issues, but it will sure be nice, and worth it in the end.

**mongocanfly** · 10-19-2020, 10:42 PM

Thanks old57....I'll get there one of these days..haha

**mongocanfly** · 10-30-2020, 03:17 PM

Had a hr or so today, so I got the doors buffed...uneventful and boring...
One thing I've been putting off is respraying the bedliner to fix the mess I made with it..so I guess that's next..
The bed is still on the rotisserie ,and in my paint cave covered with plastic...I've been working around it painting all the other parts, but to do the cab, I've got to swap the bed and cab/frame positions in the shop..
So if I get the bed complete, I can put it on the 2post, and when I get done painting the cab 12x, hopefully I can just roll the frame under the bed and set it down for the last time...

SD69C10 · 10-30-2020, 04:08 PM

Took me awhile to go through all the posts but love following the timeline. Amazing truck, well done Sir!

**mongocanfly** · 10-30-2020, 04:37 PM

Thank you sir!!...it has gotten quite big...

**Ol Blue K20** · 10-31-2020, 04:22 AM

I hope the cab is only 1 time for paint.

flashed · 10-31-2020, 10:57 AM

Let the cab paint begin , I agree Dale , hope one time does it , Im ready to see sheet metal hung . This is gonna be an Amazing Truck . I really love the trucks from other makers that you dont see anymore especially when they are built right in front of us like this one .

Russell Ashley · 10-31-2020, 11:51 AM

Saw this on ebay and thought of you.. Maybe you need another project, or maybe not, LOL. https://www.ebay.com/itm/254758754036

**mongocanfly** · 10-31-2020, 12:02 PM

Thanks Dale, John, and Russell...
I would love for the cab paint to be one and done....but I'm not gonna hold my breath...Haha
Russell, your Ebay link dont work....but I've got plenty of other projects to work on..
I've got a 1/2 built airplane hanging from the shop ceiling, my AD truck out back in the side shed was/is next on the build list, and a house that needs built if lumber prices ever become reasonable again...
on top of all that I'm gonna have to repaint my C30 due to some idiots hit and run

flashed · 10-31-2020, 12:11 PM

How about sharing some pics of those future projects sometime , Im in to see Em .

61, same age as me....the 57 is really cool too..... I'm expecting a Chevy bowtie to beat the tar out of me when I go to sleep.

**mongocanfly** · 10-31-2020, 08:59 PM

As far as the other projects go, the airplane is wrapped in plastic and hanging from the shop ceiling , over my temp paint booth, the AD is buried in the leanto shed, with alot of its parts in boxes..the house project has gone only as far as getting the foundation done..
