x2 with 67cheby... What kind of wood did you use? I plan on putting wood over my floor. I priced a new floor and it was exspensive. I figured if I'm going to spend that kind of money I am going wood.

Re: Started my first frame off - 72 SWB LS1, 6-spd manual
Very cool build. I was wondering about your little sand blaster, what kind of sand are you using. And the shopvac that's hooked up to it how does that work??

The sand blasting cabinet and sand I picked up from Harbor Freight. I don't remember the name of the media but it is made for the cabinet. You can get various grits. The shop vac plugs in the side of the cabinet and helps reduce the dust for visibility. I have been working on the body non-stop. I installed the front clip on the cab without the frame for block sanding for now. It will all come off again for primer and true alignment. I have color!!! I decided to go with Red. I am starting with the bottom of the bed floor and cab floor... Welded up the side markers on the bed sides. I am learning this is a lot easier to do the body work, block sanding and prep with the bed disassembled. I think I will be block sanding for the next 6 months....

Awesome project! I saw and drooled over your project before but I guess I forgot to subscribe so I had to search and find it again. That 6 speed is going to be a lot of fun. I test drove a GTO ls2 6 speed and some how left the dealer without it. Later

I love the red paint. I know how much time it took you to get this point. Keep it up.

Re: Started my first frame off - 72 SWB LS1, 6-spd manual
Back to work on the truck finally. I have spent the last couple of weekends hanging the doors, fenders and front grill. I decided not to paint the truck myself because I found a really great painter. He recommended for me to put the front clip together before painting, and I am glad I did. Here are a few pictures before I disassemble for paint. The truck is being painted in pieces.
I seperated the transmission from the engine to install a new clutch and psi plate.

Re: Started my first frame off - 72 SWB LS1, 6-spd manual
"Thanks - I did not rebuild the hinges. The doors seem to very tight before I removed them. Tuckers Classic Auto Parts here in Vegas have been a good source for me on some of the hard to find parts. Ask for Cody or Tom. "
tuckers is a pretty cool spot. deffinatly a good place for parts best thing is the have a lot about an hour or so away near arizona were they have all trucks being parted for sale! from what i know its 60's early 70's but i think they have various ones anybody in vegas area into the 67-72 on a budget diffinatly a place to check out. or to find parts period! nice build by the way and good color choice Last edited by bopper_702; 11-09-2012 at 09:28 AM. |
