Did you get the cab off this weekend ?

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
 

Thanks Tom, nope not yet. Had to borrow a cherry picker off my brother, should have it off this week. I did get the doors off though :lol:

Good luck Keith, lots of work to do but it will be worth it in the end...

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
 

Thanks Jason, the cab and doors are my main focus from here on out. I want to try to get them painted and done before the winter.

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
 

The suspense is gonna be hard on thi one. I can't wait

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
 

You can do it!

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
 

Good luck Keith.

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
 

Thanks Scott, I can't wait to see yours in paint as well. You will definitely beat me to it :lol:

Thanks Mike, I work pretty slow so we'll see if I can stick to my timeframe.

Thanks Mike, the cab isn't as bad as I make it out to be. It's not going to get done on its own so I need to stop complaining and get at it :lol:

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
 

Good luck Keith. I'm sure you'll do fine.

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
 

Thanks Duane, worked on the doors this weekend. I spent all weekend sanding and smoothing them out and finally was able to spray some epoxy today. They still need work but I wanted to get them in epoxy before doing the finish bodywork on them. I don't need them rusting on me again like last time.

I initially body worked them almost two years ago and then they sat around for about 6 months after Hurricane Sandy hit as I was fixing my parents house. During that time they started to rust on all the areas left in bare metal. I had to remove the surface rust and part of the filler in areas which sucked because it was months of work down the drain. So I just sprayed some spray bomb etching primer on them and didn't look at them again until this weekend when I decided to sand the spray bomb primer off and smooth out some of the filler left behind. I had a couple of areas of surface rust to deal with again so I removed that and sprayed my epoxy. They turned out good but like I said, still need some work.

Looking good Keith!

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
 

Thanks guys, going to work on building a cart for the cab this weekend so I can move it around the garage and more importantly so I can move it around to the backyard to my paint booth :lol:

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
 

Very nice Keith,your making good progress.

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
 

Thanks Tom, my father is finally feeling up to coming over and helping me out with it a little which is good cause I suck at bodywork and he is really good at it. I feel like when I mix up filler I waste more then I can get on the panel :lol: seems to never go right

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
 

It will be finished before you know it...

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
 

I thought that 3 years ago, I'm just getting around to bodywork and paint now :lol:

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
 

I can't wait to see the truck blocked and all one color, it's the culmination of all your hard work and perseverance.
