Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
Finally got some shoes on her. I ROLLED my truck out of the garage for the first time in 2 years today. It's been on jack stands since the beginning of 07'. I'll post some more picks tomorrow.

I know your way past this stage but what did you use to strip your truck. I see everyones look like this at some point but what are yall use would be a great help. The only reason i ask is its time to start stripping the old 66 bbw. I have a 4 inch gringer/palm sander/drill/ and 2 good elbows lol. what grit paper did you find works best? any chemicals? One day i hope mine can look half as good. |

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
Thanks you guys. That stance is how it sits when it's aired completely out. It's about 5 inches taller when full but doesn't look half as good.
The bare metal look is the result of mostly 80 grit on a DA sander. I also used paint and rust stripping discs on a grinder. I used wire wheels for the tight spots but never any stripper on this truck. I also have a sand blaster that I used on the frame. It's in bare metal too. I was scared to use the blaster on the panels because of potential warpage. I only had one coat of paint on my truck, luckily. The DA sander works well unless there's multiple coats. You'll need time and soap as well. Good luck apache!

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
Thanks Joe! Yeah, it's too damn hot now to get much done. Last week I busted ass and it was like 95 degrees, cloudy and humid. Today was brutal- 108 and dry wind. I just walked around in a circle for a while sweating and then took my passenger side door of and stripped it. It was the last piece with paint on it. I took the passenger fender off and now I'm going to probably take the front end, bed and cab back off to paint the frame. I guess she's going to be back in pieces for a while. Hopefully I'll have the frame painted and the whole truck in primer before fall. I want to drive the damn thing! I'll start posting updates now that there's some progress going on.

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
Thanks PT. The rims are 17x8 in front and 17x9 in back. The rubber is 235 55 17 up front and 255 60 17 in back. The tire size gives it just the right amount of rake to make it look mean.. and I like it.

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
That's my garage behind the house. You wouldn't have seen this building but it's the typical style of house around here. I bought this house from a guy that restored Shelby GT350s and Boss Mustangs. The workshop in the back yard is a 4 car garage and is outfitted with shelves, work bench, vice, cabinets and a compressor that's piped in with multiple outlets. It was pretty much the clincher when my wife and I looked at the house. I don't think we were even finished unpacking before I started tearing my truck down. If I didn't have to work I would probably be back there all day every day.

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
That's cool you found that house. I still have to work, but it's in my back yard. I'm lucky I can do that.

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
Are the arches longer because it was originally a long bed? I didn't realize there was a difference.

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
Yep. About 3" I think. Makes yours even more unique than an "ordinary" SWB. I'm doing the same with my 64.
