I really love the newer HVAC idea too, but I may have to re-engineer it to keep the stock dash and controls.

Just a great build thread and I wanted to let you know your project rocks, can't wait to see it done.

Thanks, I just re-read the entire thing myself too. I need to pick up the pace!!!

I have to paint a quarter and some moldings for the green Denali to sell and pick up some coin this week. After that I'll be back on the monster. Next up is outside of the cab.

**Dieselwrencher** · 06-29-2011, 07:54 PM

Congrats on doing such great work for other people! That's awesome.

drewskiren · 07-01-2011, 09:17 PM

Finished painting the green Denali! Now I can refocus on the crew.

Yes, but not because of your build

Happy because of how blessed I am...and I am happy about all the missions work you've been doing....

....but I'm upset because you stalled to make sure you weren't finished by my ETA

just kidding....

but I am glad to hear the burb will start to get some more work done on it soon

drewskiren · 07-03-2011, 04:36 PM

My body man just called and said he was finished with the bed and is bringing it back Monday. Now where am I going to fit that in the garage?!

I am still working on the cab unfortunately and need it painted before I set it on the frame, then I'd be ready for the bed.

I can't wait until I have a bigger garage and have problems finding room for more stuff again. But with the parts back you can make more progress for your audience.

I think it fits on the frame pretty well

drewskiren · 07-04-2011, 01:46 PM

Blocking out the roof the second to last time with 400 grit. I found a few tiny low spots to care of with icing filler, then one final sealer primer, and a light blocking/hand sanding with 600 grit.

Frame and drive train is still in a deep slumber underneath the plastic.

Fleece headliner did not work, not smooth enough for me. I'll have to pay the upholstery shop for a bow type headliner.

jbclassix · 07-04-2011, 09:52 PM

Man! I forgot how cool your truck looked, Drew!

**jamie72** · 07-04-2011, 09:56 PM

this is going to be awsome... great work drew.

drewskiren · 07-04-2011, 11:30 PM

I finished up with the epoxy seam sealer that flows. I will still have some to do that will take the normal caulk type. Rear panel is blocked and ready for the last prime.

68greg · 07-05-2011, 12:47 PM

Drew, Any chance you'll be done with her in oh say around 4 months (roughly the time I have left over here in the sand box)? Can't wait to see it finished, should look really good!

eagleuh1 · 07-05-2011, 01:17 PM

Whats this epoxy seam sealer that flows that you speak of? Oh and great work you do, both on and off the truck. Jim

I really can't say when I might be done. I am currently over-blessed with work and am having a hard time carving out time for the crew cab. Plus summers are always filled with extracurricular activities. Christmas???

**Dieselwrencher** · 07-05-2011, 07:16 PM

Very nice work as usual. Did you paint that green unit in your portable paint booth too?

And, how did the color match and did you blend into the back doors? I have a Suburban about that same color that I should fix...

Yes I painted it in my poly booth with the door open and the nose of the truck outside. Amazingly not much trash in the paint. The metallic color is very hard to match and basically doesn't if you look in bright sunlight at strange angles. It's ok, but I don't really care since it is for sale with a salvage title. Painting the panels off the truck and laying flat lets the metal flake lay down differently than if the panels are mounted and are vertical. Metallic particles also sink to the bottom of the gallon can so latter paint work may be more metallic than earlier work. The metallic particles even sink in your spray gun, so earlier passes may look different than latter passes. All of it is VERY tricky and certainly not recommended for a novice.

Eastwood 2 K self leveling seam sealer. Very, very awesome.

Thanks for the kind words.

Mike C · 07-05-2011, 10:27 PM

Beautiful work Drew. Don't know how this is the first day I have seen this thread, but will continue looking for it!

jeffg1010 · 07-06-2011, 11:08 PM

Man, I love it. Can I call dibs on it, when you finish it and decide you want another project? Of course, as a 'Burb guy, I am obligated to say "I cant BELIEVE you cut up that all original 'Burb." - there... I'm over it.

hotrodchevy1999 · 07-07-2011, 10:23 PM

your project is looking good makes me with i had try to build a crew

You hit the nail on the head Drew.
Painting metallic sucks plain and simple. You really need a good gun that atomizes the paint good. Another trick is to mix the last coat a little thin and keep your fan wide and it will lay the metal down a little more evenly. tiger stripes suck

Your paint looks like it matches great. Keep the pics coming even if they are little skewed from the stein project. Always good information.
