I hear ya. My wife automatically adds a year everytime I say " That won't take very long at all honey". Keep it up bro you have a very cool ride. I only wish I was able to see it front of me. Maybe you should go on a nice long drive (to the NW) when your done!

71Sleeper · 08-09-2011, 01:35 AM

All I can say is WOW!!! I have just read the whole build and felt like I was there the whole time feeling your excitements and disappointments during the build. I am new here to the forums and already see how supportive the members can be. I really think if it wasn't for their support your build might not have been as successful. Keep up the hard work because you have got one beautiful ride that I could only wish for one day.

My wife triples all my time estimates. She is usually right.

Slick67 · 08-12-2011, 12:10 AM

Got a little more done, not much, but something! Did some more sanding and put some more filler on and sanded some more to get it closer to perfection then I primed it. It came out pretty good, for a novice. I helped my bodyman do some stuff on another truck so he is going to finish the prep and paint my bed and block for the low price of FREE. Glad to see I made a friend while doing this project, especially with the talents that he has. I would not have attempted this but he taught me alot while he was working on the rest of the truck.

Absolutely. Bartering work is cool, to bad I didn't have some moonshine to barter with instead of work!

I decided to paint all the sides and tailgate and do a faux wood bed in it with a blonde wood like oak. Lot's of polyurethane to make it look nice and shiney and some polished stainless steel strips to set it all off.

72SWBChevy · 08-12-2011, 10:54 AM

The bed will look sharp with slick paint and polished stainless steel,,,,awesome.!

That will be unique. Can't wait to see the finished product.

butternut1972 · 08-13-2011, 12:08 AM

That will look killer in the bed. You would like it up here in the summer. Just make sure you come between July 4th and July 5th when the weathers nice! it has not been a very good year for weather around here. Keep up the nice work.

It should be pretty cool....if it comes out like I want it to. I'm still waiting on the funds, but it is getting harder to wait on this truck to be done.

I'm about to start packin. After over 20 days straight days with 100+ degree temps and 115 with the heat index. Anything is better than this! The bed will be done a little later, so I'm concentrating on getting the engine painted and back in the truck.

Slick67 · 08-23-2011, 06:26 PM

I went and picked up some paint today so I could get the engine repainted, highway robbery at it's best. $250 a pint. Should have the engine painted and start the rebuild by this weekend.......hopefully!!! Keepin my fingers crossed. Here is a pic of the pint of candy and of course I got the pint of orange also. Hope to have some good pics of this happening (again) soon! All I had was my phone with me so I'll get some pics of it with my camera.

Slick67 · 08-25-2011, 10:26 PM

Here is my engine after feathering out some of the chipped paint and using a scotch-brite pad all over it. Went ahead and got it ready for tomorrow mornings painting and masked everything and stuck those hole fill thingys in all of the holes on the block to protect the threads. She's gonna look sweet by noon tomorrow!

Paint didn't happen today, but it did give me an opportunity to prep a couple of other peices for paint. Tomorrow the paint will be shot God willin!!!! I did take my cruizer to the shop today with the hopes that the paint matched the truck paint pretty close........yahtzee!!! The only difference is the blue pearl in my truck, but that does not show up until you are close to it. Do you think it matches? It is riding in the back of my truck to shows.
