Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
Didn't get any sanding done today...
![]() too dang hot to do much, so the lovely wife and I and JoJo decided the pool was the best bet… ![]() I had planned on some sanding this evening, but got sidetracked on the spare tire carrier… Since I have 5 lugs all the way around, I am planning on cutting the end off an old axle that was unusable…but in the middle of starting that process, the boy called… ![]() ![]() the call resulted in this, something is missing now... ![]() ![]() So as long as all goes as planned, these will be ordered tomorrow... ![]()

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
i am now positively Envious Don....... Definitely my all time favourite wheel.
Martin, those in your pic are 6 spoke, OK for what they do, but Don's are 5 spoke...... Big difference, and a compromise like that is not acceptable. You may as well bolt on some random Nissan or Toyota alloys. 5 spokes are 5 spokes and that is where the look comes from. I would not bolt on those 6 spokes as a compromise....... Think 307 vs 350

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
Thanx guyz...
![]() I plan on ordering 18x8s for all four corners, but am contemplating 17x7 for the fronts... considering my love of old skool looks, wider tire out back and a small rake with the rear a touch higher... decisions, decisions... ![]() Now Martin needs to convert to 5 lugs to rock 5 spokes... ![]()

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
Or Martin could buy these? 6 lugs 5 spokes
However looking at prices in the UK he may have to sell a kidney to buy them ![]() Spotted a couple of these "birds" yesterday in their natural habitat, they look far better on the hood of a C10 ![]()

I too also like the bigger on the rear smaller on the front look . Even my Mercedes has bigger width rear tyres on the rear compared to the front ones

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
Don when you fit those wheels nobody will be looking at the hood ,they will be so busy drooling over the wheels .
![]() I don't know anybody that likes doing the prepping side of the bodywork , the painting side of its different that's enjoyable. I am sure you'll make a good job of it though .

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
Thanx mate...
![]() Today I drove the '72 out to my friend's new hot rod shop location and in exchange for a little assistance hanging some ceiling joists, I snagged some S10 Wiper parts for another friend who happens to work with me… On to the pics… ![]() The guy on the scaffold is Tim, it's his shop and he's the one I got the '72 from…The guy in the red shirt is Klown, he's another artist that works in the studio with me and my son… ![]() New shop pics… ![]() ![]() Me on a ladder working a framing gun… ![]() After hanging the ceiling joists, we went over to the existing shop to get a wiper motor and steering column for Klown... ![]() Clint broke his arm, but hopefully with Tim's help, the '64 will make the trek to Clem's in October... ![]() ![]() …and lastly, after getting Klown's wipers working, I got a call that a box had arrived at the studio… Rian and Martin should be quite chuffed as their Firewall Pads have arrived… ![]() ![]() More sanding throughout the week, thankfully drier air is filtering in and with highs in the upper 80's and low 90's it should be a bit more comfortable outside... ![]()

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
While talking with Rian, he made an observation concerning the hood bird... the rear of the tail floats above the hood when the front 3 mounts are flush on the hood, his observation was to remove that screw and allow the tail to float.
My question is, will that tail floating be an issue with mounting stability? See the hood bird pics on page 67

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
Started the day off perusing a few of the builds I follow, and one of them, a fairly new one caught my eye… I had helped this guy with an extra Hood Latch I had lying around, and this morning he posted looking for a lens for one of his turn signal tubes… I happened to have an extra one or two… so one is now in an envelope waiting for the mailman…
![]() http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=677935 Then it was off to the shed to fire up the welder… Melting Metal... ![]() I welded up the 4th hole I had drilled for the rear mounting screw on the Hood (Bonnet) Ornament… Decided to let the Tail float... ![]() Here's the hole welded and smoothed over with filler… ![]() Then onto the rest of the hood… Sanding, sanding, and more sanding... ![]() I am not a fan of bodywork, although I salute those who do this work professionally... ![]() ![]() ![]() Here it is in Primer… Got a couple of small areas to address then another coat… ![]() ![]() …and finally, a shot of the Bird with the floating tail… ![]() ![]() til next time... ![]()
