Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
Keith, Did you end up welding in your filler pieces in the bed yet? I was wanting to see how you went about doing it because I will have to do the same very soon.

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
Thanks Mike, I'm not excited about it
![]() Thanks Scott, hopefully it doesn't turn out like a polished turd as mcbassin puts it ![]() Quote:

I haven't done the bed sides yet because I need a little help from my brother(the welder) in the welding of the pieces. It's going to be a while before he can help me out so I figured I would get the bodywork and primering done on the cab and front clip while I'm waiting. You will probably get to it way before I do.

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
I don't know if I'd say I'll get to mine sooner. Only time will tell I guess. Keep it up buddy. Between my boys tball and my girls softball games I don't have much time. That's what the nights are gonna be for I guess.

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
Looking good.
For what its worth, I've had very good luck with the DeVilbiss Finish line gun that I have. I got the kit with the 1.3, 1.5, and 1.8 tips. I bought a 2.0 tip on Ebay to shoot high build. But the 1.8 will work. I know there are far better guns out there. But for a beginner like me, I was afraid of spending all that money then realizing I had ZERO talent ![]()

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
The good news is you're starting with primer. It's really easy to fix, since you'll be sanding it down anyway. You can learn decent technique just from spraying primer. It should help ease you into bc/cc later. I'm sure you'll be fine. Don't sweat it too much.

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
Got my side emblems mounted today, I measured about 100 times before drilling any holes. I used my original fenders as reference.
