Re: 1968

I started sand blasting the hood today. Worked untill the shadows started to cover my work. then it was to hard to see so I stopped. Tomorrow I will finish the hood and maybe put on some primer and see if there is any bodywork to do.

We are the only state in the us that has no snow on the ground.(except for Hawaii) Got a few more parts in today. Maybe I will get what I need to start something. Seems like I only get parts that i don't need now. Waiting for the money to get right before I get the wiring harness.

Re: 1968

Today I finshed sand blasting the hood. What a job. At 65 it took it all out of me. I am spent. I also sand blasted the door hinges. There was 4 layers of paint and primer on the hinges.
picturs before I sand blasted


pictures after I sand blasted


My 80 lb sand basted done all it could do today. You can see some of the black primer in square spots.
I then sand blasted the 4 hinges

I ordered a 15'' chrome over flow tank
door sill plates also chrome with Chevrolet boetie in the middle
door felt kit for both doors
ingition and door keys

i am hopeing to prime the hood and hinges Monday. I got the parts in the shop where no moisture can get to them untill Monday.

Re: 1968

Well today did not go as planned. I did not get to work on the hood. Had to put a new water pump in the washer for the wife. But I did get some more parts in today.

Re: 1968

looks like you have been getting lots done, George! I have been fixing up our new house, so I have only had time to do that and work. It helps me to see that you are still getting some things done. Keep up the good work!

Re: 1968

Today I went through some of the new parts. I needed to take a inventory of the parts in my mind again. That way I don't order them a second time. I hope to paint the truck this week for sure.

Today, I finished the sanding on the hood. Then I shoot some color on it also. I painted it in the shop so nothing would get in the paint.

Re: 1968

Today I went down to Tarpon Springs and seen a fellow board member. He rebuilt my steering column. What a difference it made. I also got all the right parts for my shifter from the column to the transmission. I also got a new rag joint and I hope to install It this week in. Got so much to do I don't know what to do first.
This is what I will want to install this week.
steering column
steering shaft
rag joint
shifter from column to transmission
If I get these parts installed it will be a lot done. The key work is IF
