Good Saturday - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**Palf70Step** · 11-11-2006, 04:17 PM

Pretty good Saturday. Got a good bit done on the 70 today. I started out with a multicolored mess

and now I got her down to almost just about basic black. I sprayed the inside and outside of my cab today with Eastwood Rust Encapsulator. Hopefully protect the metal until I get back to the final body work.

My son likes it as it is. He wants me to do some red flames on it. I guess he'll be a rat rod boy. Wife just said, "You didn't paint the hood."

Oh well.

Later I got out the oven cleaner and pressure washer and cleaned The Valdez oil spill from the rear of the frame.

Got her all dried off and now I can finish up the rear of the frame, get it painted, and start adding the blazer tank, new rear end, and who knows.

Oh well here is a few more shots of how she waits for me to get back to her.

Now onto clean-up and dinner with some board members.

Gotta love this place.

Thanks for listening to the rambles.

Looks great Bill!

Yeah I know

I forgot to clean off all the ancient tree sap drippings before I started today, and really wanted to get the metal covered. Hood will be on the next go round.!!

The advantage of living on the MS gulf coast!!!
Today, in the tundra of north MS it has been cloudy, overcast with a brisk north west wind and a balmy high of about 45 F.

It is always good to make progress on the truck project.

Nice work Bill. Looks like it will be a sweet one when finished!!

HuggerCST · 11-11-2006, 09:18 PM

Lookin' good!

krue · 11-11-2006, 09:26 PM

Looks good Bill. He got a taste of the arctic by coming up my way so I could meet Jimbotronics. It's in the 50's, but he's a misplaced Yankee so he liked it.

Well a step in the right direction! I spent the day in my shop (started a fire about 5am

) working on a board members truck. I got the wiring (painless kit) all mocked up for a fully hidden system and the seats (2004 chevys) layed out and drilled for mounting. Now as soon as the front sheet metal gets blasted and re-hung I can remove the cab and add the bracing for th eseat mounts. I hope to have this in paint in about 2 months or less

Hey Bill, hows about I send you some of our Iowa weather? That should slow you down.

It was 26º here this morning with a 20mph wind. I about froze my Tu-Tu off......

Nice progress on the truck!

If you did send me your weather I'd be OK with it, however, it would bother many down here and I would have to send you something even worse....the "look" from my wife"

Truck looks good and progress rocks Palf, but if you look closer at the 2nd picture of the series, it looks like the fuel filler could use a little more mud, is that an area you are going to address or are you just gonna leave it alone. Just looks like the filler panel was a little flat compared to the surrounding panels.
Oh.... You forgot to paint the hood.

Yep, my home made patch didn't have quite enough bend. That and a couple others where my long lost, and hardly had welding skills need tweaked up on, but at least she won't rust between jobs now
