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.

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
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.

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
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.

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
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.

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
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.

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
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!

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
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???

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
Very nice work as usual. Did you paint that green unit in your portable paint booth too?

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
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...

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
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.

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
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.

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. ![]() |
