Hahaha, dude its still tacky collecting bugs out there!!

Tell ya what, I buy the beer this weekend you get down here and help sand!

 

damn do you ever sleep? everytime I look at this post something major is done. I like the carport, makes working in the sun easier. sold my girls bel air this week and the elco is getting another intake and running to get it over to my mom's, then maybe I can get someone to back fill my old pool and have more room to work...........out of the public eye of course.

Well I took Sat off and went to the Shifters Car Show....well after getting up at 6 am to get a coat of poly on the bed to keep me on track to paint the metal bed strips before I took off.



Color sanded the back of cab and got the bed on yesterday w a few of the neighbors before the drinkin got to heavy

 

Parts n peices needed to be cleaned, sanded then painted out flat black


Glad thats all done! I think its everything tooincluding all the pedals, braces, brackets etc!!

 

Got the visor, grill, bench seat frame and a few panels sealed and in paint today! I should only have the 4 fenders and the hood left to for body n paint! Ill be so glad to start bolting it all together soon!



Re-pop Fulton visor!


This was more of a pain in the ass to paint then I though it was going to be!

 

Looking good, looking real good.....Jim

 

Yes, it's looking great!

 

wow looks great Eric.. the tan and black look so good together.. this is gonna be a good looking truck when youre finished

 

I really like the color choice. looks real nice.

 

Thanx guys...back to stripping paint and sanding mud Atleast the fenders are round so a bit easier to get rite!

 

looks great! Very motivating!

 

way to go Eric. you gonna color sand it or roll it just like that?

 

I cant get it to stop orange peeling.... so color sand probably when its all together...depends one how much free time you have Dante!

 

The only parts left to sand and paint...So over stripping paint, I think im going to buy some aircraft stripper in the morn to make live a bit cleaner for the home stretch!



One fender almost stripped this afternoon

 

lookin good eric

 

By the time you finish this , you're going to be so good at stripping that I might have to get you a pole for your patio !!!
