Re: Blood Sweat and Tears.. 67 Build Thread
Managed to get all the holes that have been drilled in the bed side to pull dents and hold tons of bondo in welded up and ground down... BUT I stressed the metal in the biggest flat spot just behind the cab and its tin canning now... I guess I have to study up how to fix that before moving on. Has any of you guys used the cold compressed air and heat gun method to de-stress metal before?
Started "Trying" to disassemble the bed as well and found I need a second person to push down on the castle bolts to keep them from spinning... I'm going to HAVE to find some good tail sections with the tail light sections for these bed sides if I'm going to save them... Any ideas where to find those? I swear I'm at a point where I just want to hand it over to someone to finish up on the body... |

I just started catching up on your restore post here. Auburn is where I went to college so I'm a little attached to your truck already. You really have invested a lot of hard work, you sure haven't taken the easy route, every step has been hand to hand combat...very proud of you for hanging in there. I purchased my truck in a small town just north of Auburn but yours was in much better condition! I'd be happy just to get mine back to the shape yours was in before you started!

Maybe by starting a thread, it will help keep me motivated, have you found this to be the case at any point along your build? |

As far as yours goes... If I had a nickle for every time I have changed my mind on colors and interior design during this build I would have been able to afford to just pay someone else to do the work... I still aint 100% sure on the orange yet. Ill know what color its going to be when I leave the paint store with the box full of paint lol The wheels will be determined once its painted. Only way to do it is to just grab a wrench and start pulling it apart. |

So I made it home again and I might be able to get something done this weekend... I got a new transmission cross member I hope works and found this on Craigslist... never used and was sent to me in the envelope it was mailed out in in 1967 to boot.

No body work today. Cleaned the garage up a bit and did manage to get this cleaned up and painted. It will do the job for a while while I save for the 5 or 6 speed. I wasn't going to spend the time sanding the rough case since its not going to be under there for very long.
