Richard,

Re: 1970 Chevy Longhorn Restoration progress
 

Looking great! If you go to harbor freight and purchase one of their spot blasters, that could get you by for these little pitted areas.

Re: 1970 Chevy Longhorn Restoration progress
 

Thanks for the heads-up, Ryan. Actaully, sleepertruck72 (Jorge) has been so kind and generous as to lend me his sandblaster. Now, I'm just waiting for a non-rainy day. Then it'll be raining sand! Thanks again, Jorge!

Re: 1970 Chevy Longhorn Restoration progress
 

Good luck with the weather cooperating, and enjoy the blasting. :lol:

You are correct. I need to get busy working on it. I'm going broke buying parts ;) But did manage to complete my black NOS shoulder and lap seat belt set if that counts for anything. BTW, what color interior are you going with on your build?

Re: 1970 Chevy Longhorn Restoration progress
 

well the sheet metal will be black but the accesories will be red ex: seats, dash pad,steering wheel,door panels, seat belts, sun visors,and that is it carpet will be black

Re: 1970 Chevy Longhorn Restoration progress
 

That'll be sweet. There's a White 4X4 1970 on eBay with a red/white combo.

Re: 1970 Chevy Longhorn Restoration progress
 

thanks longhorn

Re: 1970 Chevy Longhorn Restoration progress
 

looking really good Richard!

Re: 1970 Chevy Longhorn Restoration progress
 

Nice job on the truck, you don't see too many of these restored! I'm restoring a 1972 BB short bed, click on my name & check out my photos. Is it done yet? Like to see more pics. Good luck with it.

Re: 1970 Chevy Longhorn Restoration progress
 

Thanks! No, it definately is not done yet. Finding time has been nearly impossible for me lately. The truck is stored at my parents until I paint it. Then, I'll bring it to my house. That's when I'll be able to get to it whenever I have an extra hour or two.

I did get a little work done on the driver side bucket seat mounts. I made some underside supports for the bolts. I cut apart a window channel and welded on some 1/2" fender u-bolts. Then, I welded them to the bottom of the cab. Much more sturdy than a large bolt/washer combo.

Re: 1970 Chevy Longhorn Restoration progress
 

wow that is pretty creative...you gotta love this site and all its ideas! so how is it in modesto it is nice and bright oh an shiny to

Re: 1970 Chevy Longhorn Restoration progress

Re: 1970 Chevy Longhorn Restoration progress

Re: 1970 Chevy Longhorn Restoration progress
