The dash turned out pretty rad man!

(joey) · 06-10-2011, 06:23 PM

thanks men.im happy with it.i wanted a nice flow and if something didnt need to be mounted or sticking out its getting hidden for a nice clean look.i will get some better pics this sunday

thor · 06-10-2011, 06:48 PM

lookin' really slick with that red on it. strong work man!

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 06-10-2011, 08:05 PM

Alittle bit of color looks pretty damn good..

VA72C10 · 06-10-2011, 09:59 PM

Very nice! Looks good!!!

**kev2809** · 06-10-2011, 10:17 PM

that dash look sick man!! it flows really well in there...

how are you going to wire up the new dash wiring with your old wiring?

redneck6 · 06-10-2011, 11:08 PM

bad ass fab work very nice . will be watching for updates

(joey) · 06-12-2011, 05:43 PM

yeah guys,it was a big step getting to spray some paint.feels like i actually got somewhere on it.as for the wiring harness,the only wiring im using from the 67 truck is the front headlights connectors and the rear tail light connectors.the rest should be plug it in and turn the key.so today i went over and did some assembly to see how it looks with some of the holes filled.not too shabby.nothing is bolted in place in the pictures so some stuff is a little crooked but in my opinion it looks really good.next will be on to the drivers door and some welding/seam sealing under the cab.

**kev2809** · 06-12-2011, 07:30 PM

nice! i wonder how hard it would be just to swap the cluster and steering column?

my buddy has a flipped 02 sierra, and i sure could get it cheap!

slick copper · 06-13-2011, 12:55 AM

Sweet! Nice color! Can't go wrong with red on these trucks! Can't wait to see the rest painted!! Keep it up!

tantrumpipeline · 06-16-2011, 08:52 PM

very impressive build, the fabrication is very good, I'm in to see this one

STPrider · 06-17-2011, 10:33 PM

this is one of those threads you subscribe to as soon as you find out whats going on, before reading it! just read the whole thing through, though, and you have talent! amazing work! wish i could do a build like this one day or even just buy an old truck and start welding and learn how to become just like you sir

thanks man,its the same red my father is using on his t bucket build.it was a last second color decision for me.the out side is going satin black for now.i know from building the body at my buddies garage and frame in my drive way im going to have to chop cut and bend some stuff into place when i drop the body on the frame so the satin black would be easy for touch ups.the real paint will be next winter

thanks brotha.good to hear your following along.you should look into a cheap welder and a project and just start going at it.we all started somewhere.and this is a great place to find tips,tricks,and any advice.keep checking back.im picking away at the time consuming body work and after that it should look like a truck again real quick

(joey) · 06-24-2011, 07:59 PM

a quick update.got some pics of the doors in highbuild,the stainless fuel tank is complete,the inside of the doors were patched,blocked,primed and then painted today.i have to say im liking the john deere blitz black.covers great,sprays ok,use what you need then pour the rest back in the can and at $30 cdn a gallon i couldnt really go wrong.

**67cheby** · 06-25-2011, 09:21 AM

Man it is looking great..keep up the good work !!

**kev2809** · 06-25-2011, 12:50 PM

nice!!

so what color and paint are you actually using to paint the entire truck? i noticed you used red on the inside, and black on the doors?

(joey) · 06-25-2011, 03:13 PM

im going to use the john deere blitz black for this summer.reason being im building the body at a buddy`s place and hacking the newer frame at home so the chances of everything dropping into place just perfect is pretty slim.so the satin black will be easy to blend if i have to do some hack slash and bending to get the body in place and run all the stuff through the fire wall.and also because im running out of truck bucks so the black is easier on the wallet.then next winter i will paint it base clear.not sure on color i change my mind every day.

(joey) · 06-25-2011, 03:19 PM

to give yo an idea this camaro was painted with the same paint i am using.

tantrumpipeline · 06-25-2011, 03:40 PM

sweet, where do I pick this paint up, would be perfect for inspecting how bad my bodywork is after primer

npc1 · 06-25-2011, 03:56 PM

Hey Joey first let me say that I have watched this build for a while and you do alot of great work. My question is this. I know that you are putting the body on the newer frame but Im wondering if the newer frame is going to be skinny enough to fit under the truck? In other words are you going to have to shorten the rearend and bring in the front wheels to fit inside the fender? I hope that makes sense.

I'm thinking you mean narrow the rear and front....
