Looks like you are doing a good job training your boy. Start them out early in the garage. Keep gathering the parts, it looks like you have it all there. I hear you on the wheels and paint, I have a plan for my paint, gonna wait till the last minute on the wheels.

Choosing wheels, tires and paint color plagues us all. Have you picked a color yet?

Re: Started my first frame off - 72 SWB LS1, 6-spd manual
Love your truck. I am sure that you already know this but in case you didnt you have to neutralize the soda before you prime it or you will most likely have it come back and bite you. Barry at Southern Polyurethane will tell you all about it. Looking good

Re: Started my first frame off - 72 SWB LS1, 6-spd manual
Thanks!
Thanks. Your build has inspired me to pay attention to detail. Thanks. I hope my body & paint come out like your truck. Nice build.. My new bed side just came in. I am hoping to get some etching primer on my bare metal parts this weekend. Were suppose to be high 80's this weekend. I can't use my swamp cooler in the garage until I primer.

Re: Started my first frame off - 72 SWB LS1, 6-spd manual
I had a productive weekend. I was able to get my door hinges, glove box door, windshield cowl and bed parts primed.
My new bed side came in also. And the Eater Bunny came last night when I finished... I will be choosing my paint color in the next couple of weeks. I am down to about 26 colors???? This is the hardest part of my build so far. I have decided not to assemble the bed until I paint the bottom side of the floor and inside of the bed sides before assembling.

Re: Started my first frame off - 72 SWB LS1, 6-spd manual
VA72C10 Thank You... I am leaning towards Red.
My stainless steel bolt kit finally arrived today. The kit came with every bolt needed to assemble the body, including the interior parts. The nice thing is the bags are labeled with the locations. I had to order the bed bolts separate.

Re: Started my first frame off - 72 SWB LS1, 6-spd manual
Very nice work on the bed and other parts. That looks like a nice set of hardware.
Did you rebuild your hinges before you primered them? If so, where did you buy the rebuild kit? thanks |
