I had that talk with one of them tonight and I wasnt nice about it. That overflow tank in previous posts and the motor mounts...for him and now tomarrow I'm going to make him a mount for his boats motor,it broke. We discussed the mount thing after I told him he is pulling my motor trans for me next weekend so I can get this other truck out of my garage.

Re: MY build thread...
 

The start of progress again. I borrowed a stud gun and started pulling all my small dents and got some filler spread but still waiting for my sanding blocks to get here. here are some quick shots of tonights work. Hopefully I can get more studsm to pull the rest of the dents and get my other door handle patch welded in. My da went to crap so time for another.

Re: MY build thread...
 

Well my block kit came in so I started blocking some of the body to find low spots and played with my studgun some, Its storming and I left my camera out in the garage so tomarrow pics.

Re: MY build thread...
 

Heres this morning stuff I did. Not much too hot. Hopefully next week I can get the rest of the cab corners and back of the cab,and door done so I can re epoxy them.

Re: MY build thread...
 

It rained tonight so I decided to do a little blocking on the hood to find more low\high spots. Man blocking REALLY brings out the stuff thats just lurking under your nose to ruin a paint job. To my surprise eastwoods epoxy sands pretty nice with 80 grit. So now its time to pick up the stud gun and hammer and make some noise. Pics to come.

Re: MY build thread...
 

cool where did you get the blocks

Re: MY build thread...
 

eastwood.com. I am going to buy a longer block also that can bend around contours.

Re: MY build thread...
 

Well got some stuff done today got the drivers side door handle shave patch in and started mocking up some stuff to check fit. I also filled about 100 holes where PO used a screw and slide hammer to ATEMPT to pull dent then pulled with studs and skim coated with rage filler. More pics to come tonight.

Re: MY build thread...
 

I feel your pain on the PO attempted fixes :banghead:

nice progress!!!

Re: MY build thread...
 

Few more

Re: MY build thread...
 

Here it is today waiting on fenders and more sanding. I still have to strip the roof to bare metal and prime and work before the whole thing gets re epoxied and uro primed. Hope fully by the end of the month.

Re: MY build thread...
 

Lookin' good s/b70!!! Keep going!! I had to take a day off to save up some energy:lol:.

Re: MY build thread...
 

Thats what I was going to do but ended up putting in another 4hrs in the shop and almost have all the dings filled and sanded,front hood seam mudded and drivers door edge I re gapped is ready for a quick sand then grindout the bottom of the drivers door (P.O.) bondo fest and see what I got. So if things go well I will be throwin some primer on the whole truck this weekend. YEA!!! Thanks protrash.

Re: MY build thread...
 

SWEET!!!!!!! Its always nice to see it one color. I just repaired passenger door 'lack of door check' damage. PO had 1/2'' of bondo in that crack. I ground it out and took a break and couldnt believe the pile of pink dust on the floor:lol:. Have fun.:aiiet:

Re: MY build thread...
 

I know how yao all like pics so heres the latest. Doesnt look like much has changed but making dust.
You can see in the last pic the extra bondo on the drivers door bottom where the grinder marks are is comming out tomarrow.

Re: MY build thread...
 

progress is progress!!
looks good!:thumbs:

Re: MY build thread...
 

I agree...look'n good man ;)

Re: MY build thread...
 

Thanks guys I'm having a hard time doing this work because its messy and tiring especially in 90% humidity. Its almost done but then I get to sand the uro primer so I'm hopping when its all primed I can take alittle brake. I've put in about 20 hrs this week on it plus 40hr week.

Re: MY build thread...
 

whats the truck in the background

Re: MY build thread...
 

Thats is my old 65 chevy I sold to my father in law I'm just about to deliver it soon.

Re: MY build thread...
 

Re: MY build thread...
 

yes it does but it will be well worth it soon.

Re: MY build thread...
 

Heres some pics from today at 105 degree weather. I ground out about a half a can of bondo out of the drivers door so now I have some rust and dents to fix but nothing major.

Re: MY build thread...
 

bondo is a great tool when used right but some peaple think a filler is a dent remover my friends 73 had a inch of bondo on the fender haha we found out when he hit a pole and a chunk fell out haha truck is looking good tho

Re: MY build thread...
 

I agree WHEN USED RIGHT but some people think it can fix all dents. So as you can see in the last pics the pile of mud I ground out and it only took me about 20 studs to fix the actual problem and one patch panel I will cut out and weld in tomarrow then I'll post pics. I will still have to set the gaps on the fender when I gat one but thats a later story... STAY TUNED and thanks for the views and kind words.. This board rocks and the people are awsome. If you can meet anyone whomever you can its an experience to say the least. Alot of use younger guys can learn alot from meeting some of the guys that have been around these trucks alot longer. PICS tomarrow when I'm done.

Re: MY build thread...
 

PROGRESS I got the dash,hood,back of the cab primed and ready for guide coat and blocking. Here you go.

Re: MY build thread...
 

Ok heres the rest

Re: MY build thread...
 

Nice!!!!

Re: MY build thread...
 

Lookin' good S/B70.......you're on a roll for sure.:metal:

Re: MY build thread...
 

Thanks guys I'm trying to move right along to get it driving so I can move it in and out of the garage on its own instead of pushing it and I'm ready to drive it...I need to get the dekups setup so I can spray the roof inside and then its upside down sanding YAY...Hey progress is progress right. I also got the old truck out of my shop to my father in laws and he was givin me crap about what all has to be done and yada yada..

Re: MY build thread...
 

Nice progress. :metal: It's always fun spraying primer.

Re: MY build thread...
 

looks good

Re: MY build thread...
 

sanding SUCKS. Well the first round of blocking is done on the back of the cab and hood,now I need to sharpen up the welded hood seam some and fill some small spots then hopefully I can reprime thursday night.

Re: MY build thread...
 

Well got the bottom of the drivers door patch tacked in and the hood seam is jaust about done (ALOT OF WORK) and roof is worked and primed. Now back to sanding.

Re: MY build thread...
 

Forgot the pics.....

Re: MY build thread...
 

MAN!!!
that hood looks amazing!!!

Re: MY build thread...
 

Saaaweeeeeeeet!!!

Re: MY build thread...
 

Thanks guys the hood takes alot more work than I thought it would. Its worked out so far.

Re: MY build thread...
 

Wow when things look straight block again I have a few more spots to fix on the back of the cab and some small spots on the hood but there almost done I will post pics when done. Hoods commin along nicely theres just two small spots I neeed to build up but thats it.

Re: MY build thread...
 

Nothing new to report just slingin some mud to get my body line crisp on the drivers door and sanding the roof but all the spots on the back of the cab are done just waiting to get the rest done so I can prime the hood back of the cab and roof for the final time I hope. Then seam seal everything and shoot some epoxy on the inside of the cab.
