Did some floor repairs today and used the new streacher/shrinker for the first time makes life much easier

Re: My "new" 1968 c20
 

Welded it all up today. Just need to prime and seam seal it

Re: My "new" 1968 c20
 

Hung the radiator support and bolted on the door and fender . Both OEM pieces everything lined up pretty well even the rocker with a few 5 pound sledgehammer plows on a 2x4 . Came to the cab corner . It was a cluster ###! . It was almost like it was for an extended cab . Had to cut it into 3 pizza slices just to get it to line up. 5 hours I would rather not repeat. Other side is getting a few small pieces.

If anyone is doing cab corners stay away from the CHL brand

Re: My "new" 1968 c20
 

Also did the passenger door pillar and kick plate yesterday

Re: My "new" 1968 c20

Re: My "new" 1968 c20
 

Should update the build. New cab counters and passenger rocker. Should have just made my own corners had to cut them all up to fit the truck. Drip rails so far are perfect

Re: My "new" 1968 c20
 

All painted today . I'm piecemealing it. Can't do the whole truck at once. Finish up the door jambs and cowl area next if the weather cooperates. Roof is going to be white not original to the truck but I want it that way

Finishing up the floor

Re: My "new" 1968 c20
 

First coat didn’t come out so nice . This is the second coat Omni single stage

Re: My "new" 1968 c20
 

Nothing wrong with single stage. Looks Good!!!

Carry on, man!!!

Re: My "new" 1968 c20
 

I like it specially for solid colors . Talked to a painter after the first coat didnt go well. He told me to not add the reducer . It calls for 4:1:1 he recommended just 4:1 .

Re: My "new" 1968 c20
 

Finished the drivers floor yesterday lots of stitch welding got sunburn on my arms ,coated everything I could with por 15 prior to welding. Also coated the passenger side going to let it cure then paint it body color when I do the inside of the cab

Re: My "new" 1968 c20
 

New cab bushings . Still need to tourqe them down but it did raise the cab a good bit. Around 1/4 inch but it should come down after it torqued and settled. Decided black for the underside still needs another coat . Truck was basically only primed underneath no saddle paint that I could find

Re: My "new" 1968 c20
 

I keep plugging away

Re: My "new" 1968 c20
 

Noticed I forgot the cab prep pictures
