Re: tilly to the rescue
 

tilley is lookin awesome, great work. glad you didn't have to kill the build.

Re: tilly to the rescue
 

Tilly definitely has something going on

Re: tilly to the rescue
 

been a busy month. had a couple of different projects roll in, one was a 67 el camino for some paint and body work and the other was an airstream trailer that is being converted to a mobile store for a clothing outfitter. will post up pics of those later.

on tilly this month time was kinda light. did the driveshaft make and remake thing. moved the bed forward a bit to center up the wheels and test fitted the fenders. working now on the cowl corners and grill, the hood and steering column. that will be a pretty good month if i can get those things done.

pics are the bed after moving it forward and the second one shows the gaps between cab and bed as well as the fenders.

Re: tilly to the rescue
 

Looks great man! Loving all the Chevys in the background too!:metal:

I'm in the process of figuring out my driveshaft situation. By the way I thought of you and the Vette in the background I may have a tank for ya

Re: tilly to the rescue
 

Chevys Rule!!! Looking forward to the 19th:metal:

Re: tilly to the rescue
 

heres an update on the green c-20 truck of sam & kim.

took the saddle tanks out and scrapped them, also removed the homemade filler tubes and pulled the front fenders to get at the rust. the paint will have to be blended to match the patina everywhere the repairs are done and that will be a new challenge for us. never tried matching old paint but the first thing to do is compound off all the dead paint and get back to the color underneath.

first pic is dead paint and the second shows the tired 6 cylinder coming out. the original plan was a v-8 and overdrive install but things changed to a power glide and overhaul the original 6.

third pic is the bed boards which will be filled a little and blackwashed. also the wheel tubs are out and heading to scrap, i think the cows were very nervous riding when gramps was driving. this pic also shows the big holes where the side tank fillers stuck out, more patchwork and blending on this too.

Re: tilly to the rescue

tell me about the tank... though i've thought it would be a good truck tank, with the straight-up spout and skinny design. you better hang on to that buddy (for a future build)... but if you want to let it go, i may be your guy.:lol:

[QUOTE=Ta2Don;6307602]Chevys Rule!!! Looking forward to the 19th:metal:

me too dude...



thanks bro, you motivate us... and the appreciation is big.

thanks man.

thanks bud, too many projects, each pulling at me pretty hard... must choose and focus.
the cat is 'todd' 23 lb siamese (spell check) and a bad ass to boot. you don't want to be on his bad side...
the vette is heading towards the paint booth and then off to the blocks.
and i wish you could be here too...

Re: tilly to the rescue
 

one last thing...
and i got to throw props to my stitcher friend, scottybob, for another great seat. he had a bolt of old fabric and i don't know from what or where but i like it and it looks pretty dang original. thanks dude... and i'll take the rest of that bolt please..

Re: tilly to the rescue
 

Scottybob did a assume job on the seat.

Re: tilly to the rescue
 

throwin this out because it would be cool if we could get something started in this area for truck guys and their families. like a social thing, you know hanging out and visiting. talking trucks and talking lives...
if you think so too, just show up.

Re: tilly to the rescue
 

i'll be there with my family, I cant drive my ride but will bring a side!! maybe next time i'll drive my ride, lol!!

the seat came out great, also glad to see the cover off the vette!
