Project " Melting Pot" - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hollywood Knight · 01-03-2008, 03:57 PM

Hi guys just starting a new project with my son. I hope I can teach him something with this build .We have a lot of parts from all over . The frame is from a 70 2wd the cab is from a 72 c20 and is rust free. The front clip is a after market 67 and the motor is going to be a 454 with a 400 trans. Our goal is to be finished in about 6 months . Heres some pics.http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/i...lies/chevy.gif

I can't believe how clean that cab is! Should be nice and you have a awesome start not having to go after the rust on the cab. That is going to be a real time saver. It took me forever it seemed to fix mine.

clemson71guy · 01-03-2008, 04:18 PM

really good start
what are your plans for it?

**Hart_Rod** · 01-03-2008, 04:26 PM

Nice start! When I come over that way, I would love to see it.

Well I think its going to look a lot like the one your building. Painted red with a bb. 2-1/2 drop spindles in front 5 in. in rear. Just a nice driver with about 500 hp. It will be a complete build from ground up. Not to crazy.

Hollywood Knight · 01-03-2008, 05:30 PM

This Is Crazy

Hollywood Knight · 01-05-2008, 04:59 PM

I live at Val Vista and brown and the bed came from a guy's house that I just met.

Hollywood Knight · 01-07-2008, 08:34 AM

Some new parts

FRENCHBLUE72 · 01-07-2008, 10:14 AM

Looks like shes gonna be a sweet ride whens its done..

uno67 · 01-07-2008, 10:20 AM

those look familiar scored them oldschool68??? great project hope you and your son keep having fun

Hollywood Knight · 01-07-2008, 02:35 PM

Heres a pic of the front end . Question? Has anyone used por 15? I was thinking of using it on the frame and on some smaller parts only to save on time. Some guys swear by this paint. The frame is really clean and smooth so the paint should go on nicely . What do you think?

FRENCHBLUE72 · 01-07-2008, 03:33 PM

I used por 15 on mine it it is ok but I am gonna blow the whole truck apart at a later date and paint the frame .

clemson71guy · 01-07-2008, 03:37 PM

i used por 15 on my frame...then let it set outside for a couple of months and it still looked great but we decided to put a top layer of black on there
Its good stuff

Your truck looks great. Did you spray it on or did you use a brush ?

clemson71guy · 01-07-2008, 07:47 PM

thanks
we sprayed it

**Hart_Rod** · 01-08-2008, 07:41 AM

Both my Suburban and my Crewcab chassis were shot with POR 15:

Started to paint today using por-15 . Nice stuff. Next is the frame and putting together the new front end.

rodstored-72 · 01-09-2008, 10:02 AM

hollywood, i used por-15 on my frame as well & am very pleased with it. i would for sure recommend that if you spray it yourself that you have a good face mask & mask what you don't want to be painted, it really does overspray...... imho

good luck!!
