Re: Farmers big block
Got the grill, mirror arms, head light and turn signal bezels back from D&G chrome in LA CA they did a good job.
I cut 3" out of the mirror arms. The picture shows the stock 5" mirror mounted to it. I'm thinking about going to a 4" or 3 3/4" mirror head what do you guys think. I got the glove box door on it only took me 2 hours. |

Re: Farmers big block
I got the chevy emblem from a local swap meet. It's off a 55 or 56 sedan rear quarter panel. I bought the vent windows from the same swap meet, the PO had them chromed.

Re: Farmers big block
Made a little head way on the truck. Finished the bed wood inlays and did a test fit. It looks ok know it's time to put on the finish.

Re: Farmers big block
I finely finished the bed wood and installed the bed for the last time. Making the wood has taken a lot longer than it should of. I had one inlay that didn't look right so I had to redo the whole board. I picked the wrong finish the first time so I had to strip all the board and start over. Next time I think plywood would work just fine.

Great Job. |

Re: Farmers big block
I definitely have to agree....VERY nice!
I can't think of any plywood that could possibly look right in that truck....maybe in a past life, but not now ![]() Quote:

Re: Farmers big block
Thank you all
I have been working on this truck for almost three years. I have set a date that she has to be completed by. Which is July 25th (yes this year) I have made my reservations and paid the fee for the Pacific Northwest GoodGuys show. I don't have a lot to do but some times the little things can eat up a lot of time. Working on the hood today, Saturday I have two friends coming over to help me put the front end on. |

Wife and I put in for leave for August and if it goes thru, I will enter our Pontiacs in the show. It would be awesome to see yours and meet you. In the next couple years, after we both retire, we plan on making as many of the PNW shows as possible (we bought a 1955 two ton flat bed and a 20' trailer to haul our cars with mostly for this purpose). Last year her 1972 LeMans was not ready so we only showed my '66 Tempest. Your bed looks awesome, would sure like to see how you did that !! ![]()
