Thanks Mark, waiting on a friend to hook me up with a pin for the Driver's Side Handle, he's getting one machined for me. Can't wait till I can get to the point you are with your truck.

I just checked out your step side build. You are doing an awesome job! I've always had a soft spot for step sides. Can't wait to see the finish product!

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...

Weather didn't cooperate so I could finish up Cab Stand... so instead, I pulled the steering shaft out of the column, wire wheeled the shaft, no pic of it, gonna paint it tomorrow... Also ordered two '65 Impala tail-light assys off Ebay...
Plans are to shave the shifter bump on the column and repaint in preparation to re-install...

Thankfully, in my line of work, Tattoo Artist, I get to make lots of friends and therefore very useful connections...

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...

very nice art man!
You gotta admire tattoo artists, their margin for error is Ohhhh so small !!
I dont think many people realize there is no pencil eraser, or white out, or fresh sheets of paper or canvas to start over or fix mistakes.
With tattoos you get one chance to get it right.

I applaude your work, as I fancy myself an artist of some sort .... LOL

Thanks Man! Started doing this 22 years ago while stationed in the Azores with the Air Force... Retired in 95 and now ink every day! I like what I see in your Art skills and especially in your Truck Building Skills...
Plan on pulling my Cab this weekend and that Tattoo is pre-payment for some Bodywork, seeing as I've never attempted Bodywork I get a chance to learn with someone who does this daily as well as grew up helping his Dad who has been in the Body biz for most of his life... I plan on learning as much as possible

Excellent. I’ve found trading skills also results in higher quality effort compared to paying a stranger that may have no real interest other than money. There's friendship, personal integrity, and commitment involved.

I agree completely, I started learning the value of the barter system on my first job with the Air Force, I had a civilian supervisor who had enough connections to get things done sans all the red tape... Another plus is being able to call on a friend when something breaks and know that they will respond, and not because you are willing to empty your wallet! In other words, "Do unto others..."

I envy you the hands on opportunity!!
All my blundering has been a product of me trying to mimic the awesome info here, and what I can find on YouTube LOL....
thanks for looking at my art, someday I hope to have more time to devote to it, I also think it is probably time I took a class and learned how to do some of that stuff (working with a pallette is beyond my ability to comprehend)

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...

I saw a thread that showed a Stepside with 2 - 1965 Impala Taillights on a fender and my decision was made, I plan on one Light on each fender... Found two on Ebay, won them, now they are in pieces as I clean and paint.
Here are before shots... After will follow soon...

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...

Not alot accomplished this weekend other than starting the tail light restore and pulled the doors, prepping for the cab pull... This process is gonna be fun due to lack of concrete so it's time to go with the "necessity is the mother of invention" way of getting things done... Pics coming soon...
