Thanks Brian, it will be a happy day when I finally get some paint on the cab

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
 

Glad to see the paint booth is helping you out still...doors look good

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
 

Thanks Ben, hopefully I can get the cab in the paint booth by next weekend. I will be building a cart for it on Sunday so I can roll it back and forth from the garage to the paint booth.

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
 

Get that red in the paint gun already you slacker, haha.

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
 

:lol: Easier said then done buddy, this cab needs a lot of work before it sees any shiney paint

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
 

x2 ;) !

Hey,at least you picked a color.

I still keep flopping on color. :lol:

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
 

Oh believe me Tom I still have other colors that creep into my head :lol: it's hard to make a decision on color and stick to it when there are so many really nice colors to choose from.

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
 

Got my cab cart built yesterday, now I just need to modify my fence and add a larger gate to it. My gate now is only 5' so I have to make it bigger so I can roll the cab through it to the back yard where the paint booth is.

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
 

Digging the cab dollie. Nice progress.

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
 

Good luck wheeling that beast around.

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
 

That's a fancy looking cab dolly Keith. Looks like it's pretty stout.

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
 

Thanks Mike, I can't take credit for it. My father designed it, I just did cut all the wood and put it together.

Thanks Mike, good thing I work out :lol: it actually moves around really easily. I told my wife she is responsible for steering it while I push.

Thanks Scott, I bolted the cab down to the dolly so it won't go anywhere, don't need it sliding off if I hit a rut in the grass :lol:

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
 

Where did you get all of your side trim?

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
 

The trim is from Mar-K, really nice quality. I bought it off a member here that bought it brand new but never installed it.

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
 

Like your cab dolly Keith, if you have a riding mower or 4 wheeler you could pull it around with it.....

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
 

Thanks Jason, I only have my arms and legs to push it around :lol: now I wish I would have bought that riding lawnmower last year instead of the good ole push mower.

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
 

Now thats funny.
Good job on the cart.

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
 

I've been mad busy and haven't kept up on all my sub's. You're cruising man and it's looking great! Love the cab buggy you built!

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
 

Thanks guys, took the day off today and spent it sanding filler on the doors. Still have a little more sanding to do and then I'll be ready for another coat of epoxy and then some slick sand. Should have that done this weekend. Then it's time to start on the cab.

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
 

Sounds good Keith.

Just keep at it.I keep telling myself the same thing !

And you can't change color now....Can you ?:lol:

(Cart looks good too.)

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
 

You should know by now Tom especially after reading through this thread, it's never to late to change anything ;)

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
 

How's the bodywork coming?

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
 

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
 

nice, very good picts just what i needed.

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
 

It's coming along I guess :lol: I tell you what, it's definitely not going to be perfect, I just don't have the patience or the ability to make it perfect. I'm realizing I made a huge mistake 5 years ago when I tore the truck down to the frame and attempted to do a ground up. I should have just left it alone and rocked the rust and patina and later on had a professional redo the body. I give big time credit to the guys that do this for a living.

Thanks
