It really has come a long ways and we have a vision now of what it will look when done with only a few minor differences (including the wheels and ride height)............................................................................................. .................................................................................................... .................................................................................................... ...............
Look familiar?

mcbassin · 06-05-2010, 10:45 PM

Finally got some bling for this rig this morning. I thinkthese will really make it look good with the new paint! Thanks Sublvr72!

scotts62 · 06-06-2010, 09:53 AM

Those are cool!! Its going to look good on the truck!!

joe231 · 06-06-2010, 02:11 PM

Very cool wheels!

I assume your aware of the fitment issues on the front?
Those will look sweet!

Thanks Joe!
Size 18" yes, I'm aware of the rotor issue. No problem there, I'll just taper the rotor back a little. (machine access at work)

Thanks we are getting pretty close to paint time.

mcbassin · 06-10-2010, 07:21 PM

Well, I thought the body was pretty much rust free but I did find a little spot on the drivers side cab corner. Here are some pics of the repair:
Aww Dang! Rust found

Cutting it out

Cleaned out

Traced a filler piece on sheetmetal, cut it out with the bandsaw

Tig Welded in the patch (looks like crap, just about out of gas....doh!)

Welds ground down

Sanded and ready for mud

scotts62 · 06-10-2010, 07:47 PM

Cool man progress!!

I though my 92 was free of rust mostly but found the weak spots on the cab corners, paint looks good but you can push it in over a 1/4 in and if you wanted to push your thumb through it

joe231 · 06-10-2010, 09:41 PM

scotts62 · 06-10-2010, 10:21 PM

Oh yeah thats going to look nice!!!!!

my67chevytruck · 06-22-2010, 09:34 AM

nice progress Mike.....

mcbassin · 07-03-2010, 06:56 PM

Well, we have been working on the truck a lot lately. Not really a lot to show since body work is soooo slow. Anyway, we prepped the jambs and finally put some paint down today. Hope to wrap up the body on Monday (holiday)

. Maybe even get the exterior painted. In case your wondering, I chose Dupont Nason single stage urethane. Sorry crappy cell phone pics.

Removed the door panels and started sanding the jambs.

Ready for paint:

Painted:

cableguy0 · 07-03-2010, 06:59 PM

That should look real good when its done. Im sure the engine swap seems like a breeze after doing all that body work.

Thanks Cableguy! Your right, I would much rather be wrenching than this crap. It is definetly easier

mcbassin · 07-03-2010, 07:50 PM

Here are couple from a little better camera. Still kinda blurry though. I think there's just not enough light in the shop.

Where do you buy the Dupont Nason paint?

Thanks Joe! You can buy it at most Oreilly Auto parts stores. I have sprayed probably 20 gallons in the past with really good results. It can be cleared over too if you want extra depth. Anyway, they sell factory packs (limited colors) with paint, reducer, and catylist for around $140. I like base/clear but on solid colors this stuff is hard to beat for the money.

Thanks RF! It's getting there. Can't wait to see the paint FINISHED
My boat has been under a cover outside for a week now. I can't take that much longer.

Yep, it really is good stuff. I had some trucks for 4 years that still looked great even sitting in the direct sun.

bjcaldwe · 07-04-2010, 12:31 PM

Great progress.

scotts62 · 07-04-2010, 03:36 PM

I painted my old 83 with urethane and cleared over it, it came out nice.

mcbassin · 07-07-2010, 09:58 PM

Starting to wonder if I need to move this to the build section?
