Projects 58 Chevy project starts

Painted the cab and spent a ridiculous number of hours rebuilding the tailgate.

Starting on the doors and fenders this weekend.

By the way...can anyone tell me how to post larger photos ?

 

Lokks good buddy, can't wait to see it in person.

 

Post the picture like this


Use the link address between ... where 'and' is the link http://whatever... you need to have the images on the web, like at an image sharing site ike flikr, or photobucket. tells it the address is done.

If you use the attachment tool it will show up on the bottom of your post.

Later,

Mike
p.s. did I already say that I love the color of your truck?

 

Thanks for the info on the photo posting...I'll give it a shot.

 

very nice, dont know if i missed it or not but what color is that? very 50's, i like it alot!

 

It was a color that I picked from a old GM color chart at the place I buy my paint. I knew pretty much what I was looking for going in but couldn't quite describe it. The color settled on was from a 1958 Chevy paint sample called acadian green.

 

....correction....not 58 chevy ...but 58 Cadillac acadian green

 

Thats awesome.....

 

Thanks for all the positive feedback...It helps with maintaining focus on this project

 

keep it up man, the truck is looking great. any more pictures on the build part of it that you posted on my page? I know I'd like to see

 

Damn that's lookin good!!!

 

I have a few posted on my profile album if that helps....

I should have do***ented everything better...but just got in a hurry during that phase....

....maybe we could work out a swap for a certain 49 Merc

 

Awesome Truck! Nice work!

 

Doors done and hung.

Elevated bed to clear C notch.

 

.......

 

Love it, looks real good

 

Update pleeea***ee!!!

 

Jared...I'm starting on the front fenders tomorrow and hope to have them in paint in the next few days.

Things on the list to do before Roundup:

- body work on the hood and front header. Paint
- Trim front bumper
- Finish bed installation
- Tighten up a few drive train issues
- color sand and buff the entire truck
- get the gl*** installed in the doors.

If I have time, I may try to get the Olds dash in and graft the Impala lower rear quarters. At this point it looks like I'll have to wait until I get back from Austin.

The dash is going to be a pretty big project and I want to get it just right.

 

Sounds like a full plate before the show, Im really excited to see the truck in person.

 

Schweet!

 

looking better and better.

 

I cant wait to see it all back together, that color is awesome

 

Still pluggin' away on it. Should have some progress pictures to show in a few days.

 

Stained the wood and have been working the fenders and hood

 

Finally got the fenders and hood done today. The fenders were a beast to get straight because they are the product of piecing together about 5 or 6 different donors.

I still need to work on all my panel alignments and gaps....next comes the wet sanding and buffing, and getting the bumpers back on.

 

Let's see if larger photos work:

 

a Little smaller:

 

They worked great! Nice work. The color and Chrome stockies look kewl!

Later,

Mike

 

Mike...thanks for the lesson...it's a lot funner with bigger photos

hope to catch you down in austin buddy
