Sandblasting makes such a mess, i've done it for many years on and off, and i still find sand everywhere. lol

"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

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.

Thanks.. I am excited to get it painted finally. This is going to be a milestone. This past weekend I installed the hood with hinges, before it was just sitting on the fenders.

Thanks... You will. It's nice to take a breather. I found myself getting burnt out. I am glad to be back on it.

The brand is "Key Parts". They fit pretty good. I did have to clean up the threaded holes with a tap. Everything went together good. The door alignment was the most work. I wish I didn't have to pull them back off for paint.

mcmlxix · 12-28-2012, 06:43 AM

Drill a small pilot hole on the door hinges and use them to realign the doors for assembly...

Where did you get the parts. I was thinking of buying new inner fenders...

Also, whos doing the paint?

Great idea on the hinges. I purchased my front end parts from Tuckers here in Vegas (no shipping).

My painter is a friend that does only custom work.

Here are a few pictures of my fuel tank that I am modifying for the fuel injection system. I cut the end off to install a baffle. Also added a filler neck. The tank came out of my buddie's old boat. I couldn't believe the dimensions were perfect to fit in the rear of my frame rails.

Welding the new filler neck.

Good work, can't wait to see the finished product..
