My daily driver/beater : How I turned lemons in lemonade

[Low Elco]

September's prit near over! You work yourself to death?

[rusty76]

I was hoping to find some updates......oh well at least it won't be long before Sept. is over, lol.

[Claytona08]

Came across this build today! Seen a few updates along the way on NSA. Great work

[Stoney]

I bet it's finished.

[flashed]

He is definitely keeping it under wraps ,cant wait too see what he has been up to.

[y5mgisi]

Never understood how people could contain excitement like that! I wash my truck and tell the world! Let alone do ANY kind of mod...

[aggie91]

Alright Kevin, September is over, lets see the progress...

[Tx Firefighter]

Rest assured. I'm killing it. Not perfect work because I'm building a driver. But, much progress.

See y'all next month. I'm out....

[rusty76]

Next month......dang it......

[imjeff]

We can ways just speculate on the color. The black & white photos were a nice artsy, mysterious touch, but nothing rampant speculation can't overcome!

[SCOTI]

Cream colored w/white somewhere is my speculation.

[aggie91]

That interior shot is nice. I think Scoti may be onto something, I agree its in the cream light tan color spectrum.

Next month?/ Kevin, that is just not right...

[midnight rambler]

nice work Kevin. its nice to see a working mans truck come out so nice. tired of the trailer queen look.

[68Timber]

[Hankster]

The dash looks great! Can't wait to see the truck laid out!

[Hunyoc]

[Howell1988]

This sir is one my favorite builds I've followed so far. Love the dash idea too man I had a 66 a couple years back definitely an awesome choice man very creative! !! Two thumbs up sir on this one!!

[tip]

More awesome work, looking forward to seeing where this update goes.

What powdercoat gun do you use? Sorry if I missed that in one of your other threads.

[IowaHooch]

Great stuff! I have been following you on that social media website, anticipating your next move. Then you did the dash! Were you in my head? Haha i had plans to do that as i have a donor, now i will take a different route. Keep up the great work!

[Sodell]

and then.....

[Stoney]

Looking good....

[jhama78]

3 weeks with no updates, I bet he's out driving it right now...

All paint and body work is now complete. These modern materials for that are freakin spectacular. Poly primer is like spray on body filler. 2k primer sands easy as pie. It's all awesome.

I took every panel to complete bare metal. Then roughed in the body work. Sprayed with epoxy primer, then touch up any body work. Then poly primer (Feather Fill). Block that out. Then 2k primer and final block it out, then seal and paint. Killer stuff. All of my supplies are a Summit Racing branded and I have no complaints about any of it.

Freakin border collie photo bomber.

Each door had a bunch of old mirror holes to weld up to start with before I could do any paint and body work.



These fenders were a mess. They had moldings originally so there were a lot of holes to weld up before I did anything.





Then I rebuilt all of the door stuff. All of it. Wing windows got all restored with all new rubber. Window regulators got new rollers. Everything. Works mint now.





From here on its just nuts and bolts. No worries, I got that handled. I was just under the gun to get all of the paint and body done before the weather turned bad. It's currently in the shop with the front clip off and engine out. I'll get the Dropmember installed later this week. Then freshen up the engine and do all the details. I said up front my goal for completion was Decatur swap meet in February. I'm confident that's gonna happen.

Are you still looking at going TBI? I think I can fit most of what I have in a flat rate box if you still need it. Send me a PM if you want me to head what I have your way.
