I never really liked the monochrome trim on the grill, so I stripped them to bare steel and then polished and clear coated them. Now I'm going to lower the truck another two inches.

VA72C10 · 06-06-2009, 12:20 AM

Nicely done.

toomanytoyz · 06-06-2009, 12:24 AM

I like the look Much Better, How is Truck Performing overall? Have you found many Area's you wish you had Done Different during the Build?

Rick

kyull67 · 06-06-2009, 10:14 AM

Thanks. No, there really isn't anything I would have done differently. I like it

gcburdic · 06-06-2009, 11:58 AM

Nice work Kyull...

so are you going to lower with spindles??...should be pretty quick and easy!!...Looking forward to the new lower stance!

watahyahknow · 06-06-2009, 02:17 PM

the truck looks great the base looked great too once the surface rust was gone
nice to see you kept the 6 in a row
the lady that done the pinstriping got some great skills there some pinstripe artists here in the netherlands but the work i seen of them is a little uneven from left to right
hats off for youre own skills , i used to work as a prep person for a truckpaintshop and allthough i can handle a paintgun i never developed those metalfabricating skills

kyull67 · 06-21-2009, 01:43 PM

Finished the speakers, they sound good.

Yeah, I'm looking for a set of drop spindles to convert to disks.

Well it only took a year but I finally sanded and polished the truck. Brad polished while I welded and bodyworked on his 68.

VA72C10 · 08-23-2009, 12:52 PM

Bling bling

Looks good

rickerwill · 08-25-2009, 02:40 AM

Dang! I just read the whole thread, Kyle. What a great job you have done on the truck, and how cool of you to document every step along the way to share with us all. I am just getting started on a '67 stepper with a pal, and we have been inspired by your work. I have a hard time thinking of what I would have done differently!

Now, if I could do metal fab like you and Don, and spray that killer orange he shot, then stich up a nice interior and lay down some classy bedwood . . . well, I'd have a heck of a truck too!

Off to the shop!

samwise68 · 08-25-2009, 10:28 AM

I can't get over your truck. It's clean, sharp, new with a spin of old school. The pinstriping, the six...love it all.

Can't wait to see and hear more of it, great work man.

-Sam.

kyull67 · 08-25-2009, 10:46 AM

Thanks guys!

72BlckButy · 08-27-2009, 12:00 AM

Kyle have you decided if you are going to lower it anymore?

67ChevyRedneck · 08-27-2009, 12:04 AM

Awesome! It keeps looking better with every mod you've added! The polish job came out great!

Yes, I want to do 2" blocks in the back and convert it to disks with drop spindles.

Kyle....it's lookin real nice....Boy, Brad looks REAL excited in that one pic

Richard8971 · 08-28-2009, 12:20 AM

Looks great Kyle! I love how the paint turned out, very professional looking. Must make you feel really good to get complements when you take her out!

Thanks! The roof was his last part, I think he was getting sick of it. All in all a pretty fair trade though.

Buffing is the worst. I hate doing it. Painting is addicting. Even though I have been doing this for so long (20 years) and it has unfortunately become a job, I still really enjoy doing it.

Took the truck to the midwest all truck nationals a couple weeks ago. Rolled over 2000 miles on the way there and won the burnout contest.
