Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
I say HELL yea thats the right decision. Enjoy the time with your parents while they are still with you. I lost my father last summer and I would give anything if he could have helped and rode in the truck im building.
So let the flat black fly my friend and enjoy it. Kevin

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
Sounds like a good plan. I think the flat black with trim, wheels and stance is going to look killer!
I lost my dad in '07 at the age of 55 to cancer. I would give anything for him to see my truck and go for a ride in it.

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
Sounds like you have made a good decision on the truck. Prayers for your family's health and well being.
Sounds to me like you have a great wife to help you get to this decision, she deserves some credit too!

Thanks, I still have a ton of work to do to get it on the road. I have to redo my exhaust, brake and fuel lines. I need to build the frame to raise my bed floor and modify my wheel tubs, put a wood bed in, then wire it, plumb it, put interior in etc. etc. I also need to smooth out the cab and the couple sections of the hood I had to modify. Even though I'm just going to primer it I still want it to look somewhat straight, I'm just not going to go overboard with it like I had planned. Quote:

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
Started pulling the truck apart today, took the trim, emblems and bumpers off then pulled the front clip apart. Once I had the fenders off I started remounting the Slosh Tubz so that they mount behind the fender like Kyle did on his project Lucy. I got the drivers side done but still need to do the passenger side. I think it looks much better now. Next weekend I'll get the hood off and maybe the cab. I have to borrow my brothers motor puller to get the cab off.

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
Have a question for the painters out there. After I spray the epoxy, what do I use to clean the gun with? Remember I'm a noob at this so I need all the help I can get

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
Well no progress on the truck, I threw my back out on Saturday and have been laid up ever since. It was really upsetting as I had big plans and a lot of time to work on the truck this weekend and I popped my back around 10am Saturday morning

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
I think as we get older these things just happen. I somehow managed to roll my ankle the other night while taking out the trash can. Hope you feel better soon and able to get back at it
