Very cool..... Thanks man.

Do you plan on doing all the filler body work and paint?

mjensen · 06-02-2011, 12:04 AM

You're welcome!

Yeah, I think it would be "fun" to do it all myself. I'm not building a show truck, but I think it will be good experience when it comes time to work on my '47 Chevy Fleetline. That would probably be in about 20 years when I finish this project

mjensen · 08-07-2011, 07:40 PM

Well, I actually got off my butt and worked on the cab corner today. I still have a few more welds and grinding to do, but here's where it sits today:

I'm pretty happy with the alignment of the rocker to the cab corner.

Nice job Mike. Looks like you are having fun.

mjensen · 08-07-2011, 11:23 PM

Thanks! I am having a good time when I can actually get out and work on it. How's AR treating you?

I had to patch a hole that I created while welding the cab corner in. It turned out okay I think. Next is the floorboard and the metal work for the cab will be done!! Yeah!!

Today I cut the floorboard out and got the new one cut down. I just have to send it to my friend and have him bend the front lip down. Maybe by next weekend, I will have the metalwork done on this cab so I can start on the chassis.

looking Good!

mjensen · 09-05-2011, 05:04 PM

All I could muster today was fitting my floorboard and placing a couple of tacks. It's not quite fitting right, and I marked it incorrectly. Kinda just sucked all the life out of me today.

Well, today was a major milestone for me. I have no more new pieces left on the shelf! I still need to flip the cab up so I can finish welding a few areas on the bottom. It feels pretty good to have made it to this point, but I still have a looong way to go

Great job! The rust repair always seems to take the longest. Well, until you start putting the truck back together and can't find half of your parts.

Keep up the great work!

ooh...yeah, I'm going to need those again aren't I

mjensen · 10-23-2011, 11:31 PM

Finished with the major metal work today! I flipped the cab on its nose and finished up welding a few of the loose ends. I also decided to spray on some rubberized undercoating. Hopefully that decision doesn't bite me in the a$$ later.

I didn't directly work on the truck this weekend, but I build a dolly for the bed to rest on, as well as one for my Fleetline that I had to bring home. I've actually had the car for about 10 years, but sadly I haven't focused any effort on it.

Hey your cab looks great! Sorry I missed all the progress. I am thinking about doing some type of under coating too. You mind sharing what you used on yours?

I'm diggin your bed dollys.
BTW, that looks like a cool old car project you brought home too.

Looks really nice

Looks like you used what I used (3M product)?

Thanks guys! It's hard to find my progress when I'm only doing one thing a month

I actually used Duplicolor's professional series. It's supposed to be the sound deadening type as well. I was surprised that it took 3 full cans to cover the whole bottom.

I actually have had the '47 much longer than the '69. I'm thinking I'll be getting rid of it as I just don't think I'll have time to work on it.

litew8 · 11-06-2011, 11:33 PM

Maybe a very similar product. I used 3M and it too said liner/sound deadener, and I swear it looks identiacal to yours.
Got a very good discount on my cans ($5 each, normally $9 I think) and I layered it on very thick (multiple coats), especially in all the crevices, seams and all.

I think this is it

Awesome stuff. I could hit (easily) anything I pointed at from 3+ feet away.

You're method smarter, since you detached your cab.
Don't forget to spay (or seam seal) your welds, or both.
