Good so far its still standing on the floor. I might be pulling the cab off.

shortbed70 · 10-24-2009, 10:31 PM

Heres a couple more and how it sits now. About 20 mins to take it apart and 1.5 hrs to scrape undercoating off...

ruffrida2005 · 11-04-2009, 11:10 PM

Man i dont see how I missed your thread. It's looking good. Cant wait to see how the paint lays out.

shortbed70 · 11-04-2009, 11:17 PM

I need to rename it but dont know how. Thanks for the comment and its going to be a while before paint thats why I sprayed the satin urethane so I could work on the rest of it and get it going again and drive for a while...ALTHOUGH if I can get at least a gallon of paint I might jam it and spray the firewall and back of cab so thats done but thats only if the wife lets me.

If you need to rename your thread PM one of our mods.

Nice pics and work. Making it right takes alot of time and patience. But it is worth it.

shortbed70 · 11-04-2009, 11:40 PM

Its all the small stuff Im tinkering with now. I will have pics of the inner fenders tomarrow if I can make the piece and if I have enough gas in my bottle at home. I am trying to save money thats why I'm trying to fix and fab anything I can. So I figure if I use some scrap metal from work and a few minutes of my break time and save about $100 once you figure what I spent on supplies.

shortbed70 · 11-05-2009, 08:44 PM

Heres what I made today. Old on the left new on the right

markeb01 · 11-05-2009, 10:55 PM

Outstanding, that's part of the metalworking talent, being able to make what you need out of what's available. I've never had welding skills and admire those that have learned the art form. It can sure take a long time when you're doing everything. Ten years ago it took me an entire year just to paint my truck with all the disassembly and reassembly. There's no substiture for the pride of ownership that comes with building it yourself.

shortbed70 · 11-06-2009, 12:35 AM

I think you hit the nail on the head. There's the pride of ownership that comes with building it yourself. Theres some things that money cant buy...
THANKS markeb01

**Captainfab** · 11-06-2009, 02:03 AM

Nice job on forming that inner fender panel. You must have a sheet metal brake at work?

shortbed70 · 11-06-2009, 08:32 PM

Yep 10 foot box pan. Ancient but works,also have a 8ft hydraulic brake,metal muncher rotary punch any mmiller welder you can imagine (even a suitcase). I supply my hand tools. I need one at home to do small things like this but cant afford a decent box pan for the house in the 4 ft range. I would love to be able to start a buisness like that but cant afford or find the tallent here. I also need a tig welder for home. Thats all I've done at work this week was tig aluminum stuff togather and man aluminum is fun to work with and SO much more forgiving than metal. Lets see christmas list?????

shortbed70 · 12-15-2009, 12:46 AM

Well I found a color and had it photoshopped onto my satin black and here it is. Just imagine it with clear. Supposed to be candy apple red pearl.

**Captainfab** · 12-15-2009, 02:02 AM

Kewel.....looks great.

sanford66 · 02-14-2010, 10:33 PM

Nice progress, thats going to be one sweet truck!! I like the color, can't wait to see it after the clear and buffed out!

Joseph

Alan's Classic · 02-14-2010, 11:37 PM

Cool color and nice sheet metal brake.

shortbed70 · 02-15-2010, 12:39 AM

Thanks guys I need to get off my but and get somthing done tomarrow so I'll have more pics. The color is just a photo shop of the actual color it's actually black right now. You know I am trying to get the frame done now but the dang weather won't cooperate
with me this morning it was snowing wth! So tomarrow I will cut the notches and try to get them welded in and come up with some way to mount the bags alittle furred forward on the lower arms.

shortbed70 · 02-27-2010, 03:04 PM

Heres some from friday night. Modifing the lowers for re7 bags.

shortbed70 · 02-27-2010, 03:08 PM

Heres the notches I made welded in. I still have to come up with a bump stop for them.

shortbed70 · 02-27-2010, 03:21 PM

Heres a few more.

shortbed70 · 03-01-2010, 11:40 PM

back bags are laid in just need bolts

Alan's Classic · 03-02-2010, 01:06 AM

I don't know how to bag a truck, but it looks like good progress.

shortbed70 · 03-14-2010, 11:45 AM

Well haven't done much on the truck due to money so I got some side jobs done. Heres one that didnt pay very good but it was for a friend of mine and he used that duplicolor laquer stuff. I added some pearl to the clear to help it out some.

scotts62 · 03-14-2010, 09:36 PM

Hey looks good!!

Looks like a familiar picture in my garage

That color looks identical to what I sprayed minus the marble. Looks good.
Mark I'm ready to spray that as soon as I feel better go figure the weather gets nice and my sinuses open up and made my throat raw.
