Re: 66 Build

Getting ready to prep hood I noticed several pin holes in the front of the hood. Ended up replacing the nose panel.

Re: 66 Build

Thought it was time to get some more shots up. Got one coat of color down. Did not like how it looked - in process of sanding it back down. Also drilled a hole through the back wall installing the interior. So I get to fix that too.

Re: 66 Build

Re: 66 Build

Working on the bed now. Started engineering the tail lights- back-up lights (See my other post - http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=656956). Planning to fill the stake holes and get rust patched in quarters. Also got the Front bed panel done.

Photos of the bed and tailgate. Repairing rust on wheel well area. Also modified the tailgate to accept a 2008 Chevy locking latch assembly. I am waiting to hear from Craftec on a tonneau cover for a long bed as well.

Re: 66 Build

Hi all. Lately I've spent a lot of time on the box. Inside is all bed liner in body color. Been working with my friend and neighbor on the walnut wood for the bed. It is going tp be killer! Ground about 1/2" of thickness of body filler out of the driver rear box side. would have replaced the rear section but I was able to hammer it back decently. Also planning for the filler door to cut in a large hole in this panel.

Cool Re: 66 Build

Been working on several items lately. Finished up the bed wood in the box. I think the walnut is outstanding! Tailgate and rear bumper, rear bumper filler panels installed/adjusted. Grille assembled and front bumper mounted & adjusted. Wiring harness from the 87 connected to the 66 lights and accessories. Getting started on the cutting and buffing now.

Nearly finished! Finally after 18 months the truck is near complete! The kids had it out for Prom last weekend. Along with my 56 Chevy. The Craftec Tonneau is nice!
