jimmydean · 04-29-2006, 01:33 AM

Door panel and kick panel mock up, maybe get around to installing the grill and bumper that have been in my garage for 5 months now.

If I do anything with the doors, I'll post pics.

AKChevyman · 04-29-2006, 01:33 AM

I think I will take the rest of the body panels to my media blaster and get those done that will be everything but the cab. I guess I can start working on getting the rest of the stuff out of the cab so it can get to my media blaster in the next couple of weeks also. I can't do anything else to the chassie till I get my fuel cell on order and brake lines in.

70GMCer · 04-29-2006, 07:20 AM

Do some more paint sanding and final buffing on the truck....Anyone need any exercise? hehe....Could always use some extra elbow grease on the sanding.....

onetoncrewcab · 04-29-2006, 07:26 AM

Setting up pallet racks in a warehouse at work and doing probably a ton of homework for a college course that started yesterday.

lilred67 · 04-29-2006, 08:02 AM

stingray72 · 04-29-2006, 08:06 AM

1969k10stepside · 04-29-2006, 10:12 AM

Guess I will keep the
cab on and work on the polaris.

vk_chevy · 04-29-2006, 10:18 AM

I wish I could say that I am working on my truck but I am not. We are replacing our core router at work this weekend and its a big project, I need to be there :-(

*Billla* · 04-29-2006, 10:41 AM

- Pertronix install and FAQ
- Epoxy primer on front bumper and mounts
- Sandblast/etch frame chunk for repair on 5/10
- Work on front clip alignment
- Get the parts together for my 1995 LT1 overhaul for my Impala SS and make "the list" of stuff I still need

Otherwise, it's That Time of the Year in Seattle when lawn stuff needs to be done. I hope to get a little time to get some Garage Jihad stuff done like overhead storage, etc. I'm reorganizing my workbench to make more room.

Waddaya think? Its the end of the month, I own a truck, a friend is moving...and I was foolish enough to ANSWER THE PHONE!

And it looks like rain, I better bring my tarps.

corn · 04-29-2006, 02:41 PM

I took yesterday & the whole weekend off to get a bunch of yard work done & also a little work done on my 89(it lives outside). But all its done sinse of I got off work on thursday is rain, rain, rain. When I asked for the time off, the weather genius was calling for mid 80's all weekend. Now, Im just moping around the house pouting. Nothing I can really do to the 69 because I am either waiting for parts or waiting to get money for parts. Should have just worked. I HATE RAIN...

BigMike · 04-29-2006, 02:53 PM

Well, my buddy Mike is on his way over as I write this, to help with the truck. I have a couple little low spots to fill in on the inside of my fenders and core support before shooting them today. I painted the firewall two weeks ago, so things are finally coming around

. I think we may even start prepping the inside of the cab and getting it ready to shoot as well.

Peace,

Mike

Jayss109 · 04-29-2006, 03:44 PM

Well I was supposed to tuning on my edelbrock carb, trying to get rid of a small stumble, and Installing my new ministarter. But Ive been layed up on the couch for 2 days with a nasty sickness... Worse than a cold, but not quite the flu. Havent been this sick since I had pnuemonia (SP?). This sucks. First real sunny, warm weekend in months and Im stuck inside. Was sick last weekend with stomach flu, now this. damn....even worse, theres nothing on tv right now. Least theres some hockey in a bit.
