Don't really have a set date. They are working on my project during the slower periods. Hopefully within the next month, I'll be putting it back together.

When you filled your cowl did you use a single piece of steel and if so whay gauge was it for you to be able to make the roll? I have been considering the same thing but was unsure gow to go about it. Thanks.

I'll ask the body shop about the gauge but I do know they basically cut out all the louvers and welded in patch panels. I, unfortunately, do not have the skills to do such a modification.

I do know they said it was a major pain!

es67chevy · 02-26-2010, 09:49 AM

Stopped by the body shop yesterday to answer some questions about the cab. Got the latest updated pics. I can almost smell the paint now!!!

The cab is whole again with the exception of the finishing stuff. But all the metal is back in:

And the bed is in primer. Yay!!!!

Oh, and its made out of metal now too!!! Hahaha.

Darn it, I totally forgot to ask about the gauge, Stueber68. I'll try to remember to do that next time. Sorry about that. Was so excited to see the progress, it completely slipped my mind!

Rust repairs look great.
Looks like its come a long way!
and the bed looks great in primor
How did you fill your reflector holes in the bed?

Thanks for the compliments!

The body shop welded in patch panels to cover the side marker holes. The PO had done a horrible job. They welded patch panels into the back of the holes and then filled it with about an inch of Bondo. Now the plates are flushed welded in.

Yeah, I'm getting very anxious! Thanks!

nuke1 · 02-26-2010, 02:23 PM

I would say looks great, but at work right now and not allowed some pics, as for the sheetmetal gauge, use 20 gauge, it is still workable and will weld nice, 18 gauge is too heavy for the cowl to try and form, and 22 is too thin.

es67chevy · 04-25-2010, 11:07 AM

Well, its been a bit since my last update. We had a lot of winter storms around here and no one really knows how to drive in them. Needless to say, there were a lot of fender benders that kept my body shop hopping over the last couple of months....But, I'm happy to say we are nearing the home stretch! We were finally able to see what the paint color we chose is going to look like in person. Here is a before and after of the cowl. This is a teaser for us as well since this is the only part in color for now. We just wanted to confirm we had picked the right color. I think we have!

Before:

After:

es67chevy · 04-25-2010, 11:14 AM

Some parts in primer waiting for paint:

**67cheby** · 04-25-2010, 12:22 PM

nice

es67chevy · 04-25-2010, 04:43 PM

More pics of the cowl:

And outside in the light:

**67cheby** · 04-25-2010, 10:27 PM

SUPER nice, cant wait to see more.... i envy you getting to see some color on it , my bed is at the body shop now, probably one more week of fab on my frame and the cab and rest will be ready to go

es67chevy · 04-25-2010, 10:59 PM

Thanks! Yeah, you may beat us yet if the body shop gets busy again. Hoping they can stay on ours till finished! Looking forward to seeing yours complete too.

my67chevytruck · 04-26-2010, 07:47 AM

Great color choice! congrats on getting some color.........

Slow and steady she goes, but she is going forward!! I didn't have my good camara with me so these were taken with my cell phone. Better pictures next time.

We are soooooo looking forward to getting to work on it again!!
