My 78 K15 High Sierra build - Fish Tremble

Nice work on the firewall patch. Your welding skills look to have come along nicely.

I know what you mean by feeling like your slogging along. Little by little, You'll get there.

Looking good and getting better as ya go.

I'll be third and agree that inching along isn't all that bad! As long as you keep moving that inch then there's nothing wrong. Been watching this build, I really like what you've done. I still find it weird that working the last couples years I've noticed a lot more restorations/builds with the 73-87 body, I may only be 19 but I've always felt like the squarebodys are just so new lol

Thanks for the encouragement Bomp - "coming along" is a good way to describe my welding skills. Better than they started, but still not nearly as clean as yours! Hope your shindig is a big success and that you post some pics on your thread.

Thanks for yours as well 67chevy1series. I'm impressed that for a "only 19" year old you have the dedication to keep plugging away at all of the improvements on your truck. I recall when I was your age how tough a balance it was on the wallet - do I spend money on my ride or on a date? Never had enough to cover both The paint job on yours made the most obvious difference, but I know all the other things you've done really add up!

Well, time for an update before my build drops from the 1st page. I have actually put quite a few hours into it the last 2 weekends, despite the gawdawful heat. Last weekend, I re-blasted the underside of the cab, hit it with 2 coats of epoxy primer (first time to use a real spray gun!), and brushed on seam sealer wherever there originally had been some or where I'd welded a patch in the floor. This Saturday I sprayed on a couple coats of Eastwood rubberized undercoat. Looks and feels just like a spray in bedliner. Sorry the picture doesn't show it too well. Pretty pleased how the bottom has turned out, and that part of the truck is now DONE!

While the cab is on its back, I decided it would be a good idea to take care of areas like the roof, ceiling and floor. Yesterday I sanded the roof clean again as well as removed the paint from the ceiling. Hit both with a few coats of epoxy primer. I'm surprised how well they came out since my only painting practice has been the bottom of the cab last week Discovered that I still have several spots in the roof that need some filler work.
