Re: so lets build a truck/my '52 chevy
Man that truck is dusty, but the fiberglass work is looking great. I really like the way the shape turned out.

Re: so lets build a truck/my '52 chevy
the base is just matt and resin over green paint tape. Then I use old gas welding rods, basically coat hangers,and mdf to make my shapes then I stretch a thick t-shirt over it. Then I glass that with matt.
I use a tshirt because it is thin enough to not need alot of resin so it wont warp, yet it gets hard enough to hold its shape really well when using the chop mat. Its like tac'ing all your metal before you weld so nothing pulls and moves. and yeah lol, the truck is a mess but should clean up quickly. Just need to blow it all off. |

there are molded to fit my truck exactly, so they wont fit yours or anyone elses. but the process is the same truck to truck. The kicks are SUPER simple to do, its the console that is a little more difficult. |

Re: so lets build a truck/my '52 chevy

Re: so lets build a truck/my '52 chevy
been in new york for the past week, but went to work today for a few hours and got some stuff done.
put a filter on my tank vent started making the cover, holes are for filter and the plug on the tank cap for the plug hole will be off center of the hole to match up correctly with the filter hole. had to do this since summit cant build a square tank. drilled holes so resin will have lots to grab to. cover for emergency brake glued with resin using tape i made a pocket to pour resin into to make a cone shape e brake cover in truck |

Re: so lets build a truck/my '52 chevy
awesome
my interior guy is awesome. I couldnt get that headliner very close at all so he said no problem he's going to glue closed cell foam to it and sand it all smooth enough. so should work out nicely. I really appreciate it man. thanks again. |

Re: so lets build a truck/my '52 chevy
Cajun, Curious if the 67-72 pictured next to your '52 is your project too?

I don't know how to say this, but....... I think I may have feelings for your truck.

Re: so lets build a truck/my '52 chevy
lookin really good cajun, I like your idea of reworking the stock seat frame. It looks like the bottom will have a curve similar to some of the after market seats. thanks for the updates
