Projects 31 Pickup Build

Eastwood chassis black.

 

That's what I'm leaning towards right now. Some people say it doesn't stick well to epoxy primer?

 

We've never had a problem with it that I know of.

 

Ok cool! Thanks for the info. Is the gloss really glossy? Or would I be better if going satin?

 

Might be hard to tell but we used it on the frame of this 38' studebaker we did a couple of years ago. It like an egg shell.

 

Thanks for the suggestion! I bought the original gloss black from Eastwood and its been working great. I've got about 95% of my chassis parts painted. Hopefully if everything goes well I can paint the frame by next Saturday. My goal is to have it driving by October.

 

Looking great !!!!!

 

Just waiting on my passenger side axle and it's a roller! Still waiting on my engine to be dynoed and then it's time to put the body on.

 

Finished up every thing on the chassis. Just need to paint the brake lines black. Rolled it outside for a little clean up. Waiting on my engine still but hopefully soon it should be done. I think I'm going to skip body work and paint right now and just get it running and driving for the summer.

 

Chassis looks great, nice job man

 

Thanks! Can't wait to get the body set down on it

 

Nice and clean install on the brake system, very nice!

 

I actually used to hate bending lines, now I don't mind it at all haha thanks!

 

Sweet, Good looking roller

 

Nice craftsmanship. Kick ass truck!!

 

Very nice! Why paint the brake lines?

I just wanted to paint them black so they're hidden a little better. They're just green right now.

 

Chassis looks great, by the way

 

Thanks man I appreciate it! Its pretty much turning out like I hoped it would.

Looks Great, hope to see it on the road this spring

 

Thanks! Hopefully I get my engine back soon.. getting a little impatient

 

Been chipping away at the body and bed since I'm still waiting on my engine (which I'm very unhappy about) figured this would be a good time to get it ready to put on. Not doing major body work. Just a prime and throw it together for now. Sorry the pictures are sideways I'll figure that out in a little. Having the glass made for the windshield right now also.

 

A little more progress for tonight. Should have the bed done by Saturday.

 

That's some nice repair work you are doing there Mike. Keep it up and be sure to post some more pics as you go.

 

Thanks man! The more I do it the easier it gets. I'll post some more on Thursday when I get back out there.

 

Some more inspiration, a friend's old 30 PU, stock height from memory? Coming along nicely, subscribed.

 

Thanks man! That's a great looking truck. Almost makes me want fenders haha

 

Got the U channel done tonight. Now I'm working on the front panel. It doesn't fit too well right now, so I'm going to take the triangle pieces off the original one and put them on the new one. Should be good after that.

 

i sure do love these trucks. I'm watching!
