allabout,yeah i wish, i kinda got sidetracked for a couple days, way to many hobies. i did get my rad support sprayed and 1st guide coat on the hood with 400 fixing to start the second guide coat with 600 soon. then i need to mock everything up and make sure my fenders are going to be allright (keith) has me worried when he said he had problems with his but didnt elaborate on it. but thats where im at now.and i know exactly how you feel McMurphy.

flips72 · 11-22-2011, 07:44 PM

worked on the hood some more today, 3rd guidecoat is on now and hopefully the last, two with 400 and this one will be with 600. also worked on the cowl extensions a little heres a few pics and a couple of the rad. support.

flips72 · 11-22-2011, 07:47 PM

one more,has anyone done away with there antenna hole? cant make up my mind about it not sure if the under dash units pick up well or not anyone know anything about them

allaboutchevelles · 11-22-2011, 11:56 PM

I guess im keeping my antenna. you hood is looking very slick. what kind of guide coat are you using?? It looks like spray but I know they have the whipe on stuff also. What kind of paint are you using on your rad support and inner fenders?

Funny thing, a short black modern antenna was the first thing I bought for my truck. The style will accent the look I envision for my rig.
Someone on here frenched theirs with plans to do an automatic antenna upgrade later. I thought it turned out pretty cool looking.

likaroc13 · 11-23-2011, 02:46 PM

i've heard of relocating the stock antenna, hiding it in the cowl area...i had the AutoLoc hidden antenna on my '93 C-1500 custom with shaved antenna, & it didn't work very good

flips72 · 11-23-2011, 02:48 PM

still un decided about the antenna i will probably stay with the factory style, i still have plenty of time to make up my mind i still have alot of work left on the hood.

chad64chevy · 11-23-2011, 05:17 PM

the frontend of the truck is looking good! have you ever thought about the glass mount antennas? after i get the big back window in thats what i'm going to do, and if it dont work is only like $30 or so, i'm filling in my antenna hole!

flips72 · 11-23-2011, 05:28 PM

allaboutchevelles, my guidecoat is just some black sprat paint i mist over it, i tried the wipe on stuff, way to messy. the rad. paint is just epoxy in black its real close to chassis black looks good and its tough. lickaroc thanks for the info on the antenna, i think i will stay with the stock one. i also thought about the one McMurphy is talking about but my truck is going to have alot of chrome and stainless so i think the chrome will suit it better.never thought about a windsheild mounted antenna though, that might be something to look into thanks chad, and by the way how do you guys put the remarks of other members in your box, like i have said in the past i am very conputer illeterate.

thanks alan, i sure do hate your having trouble with yours.

McMurphy · 12-02-2011, 12:19 AM

Flips, if all else fails the command for quotes is pretty easy just a {QUOTE} and a {/QUOTE} only with the square brackets like [ and ] instead. If I actually used them it would have quoted an empty box....
Think of it as QUOTE on and /QUOTE off.

Once you get used to the html commands they are pretty easy as most of them make sense after you learn the rules.
Hope that helps, I use the direct commands sometimes just so I dont goof something up.

allaboutchevelles · 12-02-2011, 01:06 AM

Hood is looking real NICE.

chad64chevy · 12-02-2011, 04:34 PM

flips72 · 12-03-2011, 02:31 PM
