It's very nice... I landed up in the perfect family. Lisa's brothers and I can talk cars/trucks from morning to night, and every one of us is up to our neck in projects...

If I was still in the big 'H', I would be there to give you a hand. Next time I go that way I'll let you know... We would love to see the shrunken66 in person...

I'm about as far away from Hendo as you can get in the Vegas valley but you're welcome over any time Joe. Maybe when my truck is done we can meet in the middle at a show. How far is Phoenix from you? I think it's five hours from Vegas. We'll have to hook up with Dino, Protrash and any other Arizonans down there at some point. I'll bring the Bud Light.

I know I can get to Santa Fe in roughly that time. That would be cool to get together; I thought about driving over to New Mexico before...weird you posted that.

That was the deciding factor not to Z my frame. It would have taken up extra beer space in the bed. I also removed the in cab tank to fit a few more cases as well. Some might even say I should have left it a shlong bed, but I know where to draw the line.

Oooooooooooooo Burn! It takes a shlong bed to get the job done. That thing you got is so short you couldn't hit the bottom of a tuna can but I bet you could scrape the chet outa the sides. I will admit you do good work though.

We are about 6-7 hours away from Phoenix. That sounds like a fun trip! We'll have to plan something out. When you're close to getting done we'll get it together...

P.S. Don't pay attention to Jason's shortbed/longbed comments... I think he's trying to compensate for something..

Shortbeds are the CHET!!

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.

Thumbs up Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.

shrunken66stroker

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!
