ready for paint....start next week. hope to have it back together by xmas

**youngrodder** · 11-23-2014, 10:39 PM

Looks really good. The gaps look nice and tight. I like how the running boards tie into the front fenders. Are they aftermarket or did you make them?

Good luck with paint.

Marc

Thanks... We made them and the roll pan.
Tons of hours in just these three pieces.
Same boards I have on my truck so I kept the pattern. 1/16 gap that will pull together when bolted

Yes, I knew you built the roll pan as we talked about that before. 1/16" gap you say.... that is what you get with aftermarket running boards.....ha ha. Just kidding of course. I didn't notice the running boards on your truck. I don't remember seeing that many close of pics of it.

Nice work.
Marc

**oldman3** · 12-21-2014, 02:48 PM

What's the latest on the paint, any pics or???...Jim

Iceburgh · 12-21-2014, 03:08 PM

Paint booth is full for another week or so I would guess. I was down on Friday my buddy is finishing another job then we are going to get started on mine.
I am off the next two weeks so hope to get it down and get a good amount of work done.
I did start on the interior panels while waiting

**oldman3** · 12-21-2014, 06:24 PM

Bummer on waiting to paint, I see the tape across the dash, is it going to be two-tone??...Jim

**Advanced Design** · 12-21-2014, 08:08 PM

Nice Iceburgh...looking forward to seeing the color(s)!

Black and red...wood floor tinted grey, grey seats red carpet

Hardest part is the headliner. Got the rear on e in and molded with a little heat. Next is the front. Middle should be easy.
Once up plan on gluing the material in place.

ABS is forgiving but all the contours are a *****

**youngrodder** · 12-21-2014, 11:47 PM

Looking good. Where did you get your ABS panels? I've never worked with the stuff. I did all of the interior in my 48. I really enjoyed the process.

Good luck over Christmas getting some work in..

Marc

Iceburgh · 12-22-2014, 09:50 PM

Totalplastics.com. They have a few places in Mi. Cheaper to pick up.

RCbowtie69 · 12-26-2014, 06:54 PM

Nice!!!!! Keep on Truckin''

Iceburgh · 01-12-2015, 09:15 PM

Out of the garage and down the road ( on the coldest day of the year)

some more interior done before it left

**Advanced Design** · 01-12-2015, 09:44 PM

Looking good Iceburgh...where did you get the door panel?

Iceburgh · 01-12-2015, 10:19 PM

Got them from Rod doors. Same as what Zi have in my truck.
The guy who bought roddoors I have been told does it part time and deals through classic chevy and chevy of the 40's. I am not sure if that is the case I have had mine for a while just sitting around

**youngrodder** · 01-13-2015, 12:15 PM

The progress looks good Iceburgh. Yes. the weather in MI is very cold at the moment as well...

Keep it up

Marc

Iceburgh · 02-08-2015, 12:43 AM

Well my buddy got his new paint booth up and running after moving to the new shop.
1st car is done.

Mine rolls in next.
We played with the door gaps while waiting. Cut and re-welded the inside where the hinges go and also cut the pillar and pushed the top of the door in.
Gaps are perfect now. Final primer and wet sand Mon. Maybe Thur paint but with the numerous layers and colors it will take about 8-10 days before the clear and buff.

Iceburgh · 02-08-2015, 12:48 AM

a little more of the interior covered as well

**oldman3** · 02-08-2015, 01:22 AM

Looking good, I know you'll be happy to see it in paint....Jim

Iceburgh · 02-08-2015, 01:54 AM

**Advanced Design** · 02-08-2015, 08:48 AM

Nice work on the door gaps. They look good. Looking forward to seeing it in color.

**youngrodder** · 02-08-2015, 11:20 PM
