Re: 1969 Short Wide
Great to hear about the extension or new shop. I am looking forward to following along on the Camaro build. Don't mind if it is slow, that is the way I work.

Re: 1969 Short Wide
Looking forward to having an actual shop to work in and a space to store this truck and boat. My current space has a bunch of junk that can go if / when I add on

Re: 1969 Short Wide
I've been very busy the last few weeks restoring on my inner fenders. I thought about going the aftermarket route but decided to just bite the bullet and fix these piles of rust. Notice, the previous owner used bondo to patch, I decided steel would be better.
With these pieces, I'm happy to say this truck is 100% GM sheet metal (not including patches ). Hope to install them and get more pics soon. Epoxy primer: Painted: Raptor liner: Brothers.......... or sisters.....: |

Re: 1969 Short Wide
Nice job on the inner fenders. What's the copper colored stuff you sprayed on your weld areas, before welding?

I use U-Pol copper weld through primer under the patches where I can't get to after it's welded. LINK |

Re: 1969 Short Wide
Looking great there Mike!
Those brothers... or Sisters... are from the same mother too. LOL Going to the alignment shop sounds like last details to me. Your long road is getting shorter.

You're spot on with the shop. The addition is more of a stable for my trucks and boat. I think the current shop will work so much better without all the extra stuff stored in it. If I had my way, I would just build a nice 80 X 100 with a "dirty" area walled off. 14' walls, a lift, paint booth, man cave, etc.... |
