Well the wifey and I tackled the body of the 72 this weekend. This was our first time ever tackling a full body job like this.

Here is the hood that Shawna worked on for almost 9 hours sanding, popping dents, filling dents, glazing, wetsnading and priming . It is absolutely FLAWLESS

dubie · 03-15-2004, 11:22 AM

Drivers side needs a bit more touch up work done on the front corner of the fender, but it's getting there

dubie · 03-15-2004, 11:23 AM

And the cursed cab corners. This was my first time welding and we installed them using flux core on a little 110 mig. This is just the first coat of filler on there. They still need a little touching up

Thats all for now.

Looks great. Let me know when she's done with my inside bed spare mount.

*Slams_58* · 03-15-2004, 11:49 AM

Sorry Jeff.... after doing this truck ....I am convinced to save up the cash for some one to do my 58 for me. That has to be the most tedious Piddly-ass job I've ever had to do!!!!!! And I'm a perfectionist so I almost gave myself a stroke trying to get things how I wanted them!

dubie · 03-15-2004, 11:59 AM

hehehe your spare tire mount is almost out of the snow bud.

I have to get some parts of the parts truck this week so I will strip it off for you then.

**CPNE** · 03-15-2004, 12:11 PM

No rush, just teasing. Looks like a well spent 9 hrs on that hood!

dubie · 03-15-2004, 12:13 PM

yeah it looks amazing!! She did a great job on it, and it was her first ever attempt at body work

mocwon · 03-15-2004, 12:51 PM

It's probably an illusion but that hood looks like a 67-68 hood.

71402BB · 03-15-2004, 01:02 PM

looking good! Keep up the good work! That hood looks soooo nice! Can't wait to see that whole front end in primer!

Blue Beard · 03-15-2004, 04:20 PM

She can come work on mine anytime with work like that........

Better be careful, she may hire out...

Bowtie67 · 03-15-2004, 05:13 PM

Dam, she puts the shifter info you, sands the hood, nice job on hood by the way, You better be good to her, a gal like this is hard to find. You better have her check over that motor after you put the old lifters in just any old place.. Looks good, should have done by the end of March..

dubie · 03-15-2004, 06:13 PM

I am shooting for mid May for a completion date. And at this rate, it's looking hopeful!!

Bill72BB · 03-15-2004, 09:27 PM
