Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
Today was a good day off… Not only was the Sun shining and the temp in the upper 50's in mid Dec, it was also TRUCK TIME!!!
![]() Not a lot done, but I did get to enjoy sanding and more sanding... ![]() The Stepper fenders, where I frenched in the taillight buckets… Getting ready... ![]() In progress… ![]() Smoother… ![]() Other side too… ![]() This is after the 80 grit, still gotta go finer and smooth out the filler, but another step closer nonetheless... ![]()

That pic of the 60 is perfect screensaver or Avatar material.
The underseal looks good too. Look forward to the day I can use it again on my load bed.

Bed liner looks good Don. I too like the grill shot. We've been lucky here in Oklahoma no snow yet and 70° today!

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
Another winter day in the low 60's...
![]() Another milestone passed… the Yellow is GONE!!! ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Considered fixing a couple of dings in the tailgate, then reconsidered given the fake patina paint that is planned… ![]() ![]() ![]() Happy the yellow is history and I was able to get some truck time in... ![]() Earlier today I accompanied my son Jeremy to court, he had to go due to a ticket for no proof of insurance… anyway, while standing and waiting for court to start, here is a conversation overheard… Officer- "You do realize that when you show up to court smelling like marijuana that we are going to make sure you don't have any on you?" Young lady- "You're not searching me." Officer- "Uh yeah, Okay!" as he escorted her down the hall... ![]() ![]()

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
Lookin' good. I always liked the red primer.
I can't get over our mild winter this year. It was warm here yesterday but very windy. My daily driver laid down on me and had get a tow home. The tow truck guys helped me get the truck in the shop and then I was able to use a come along and pull it on the lift. Had to replace the fuel pump. These new to me in tank pumps are a bigger job to change than the old school small block chevys on the side of the block.

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
You're making great progress Don, knocking doors out of windows (as my Dad would say)
It's great to see the weather in Arkansas is a little better than North East England ![]()
