Re: tilly to the rescue

hey fellas,
not much happened on tilly this month. got started on bodyworking the hood and installed some pretty trick taillights from a firetruck... i will post a report on that later but for now most of october was spent on sam & kims c-20.

the entire body including engine bay was compounded to remove the oxidized paint. then the filler holes from the saddle tanks were patched.

and the old bed boards were triple coated with polyurethane then a couple of coats of black wash.

Re: tilly to the rescue

got the 292 back from the machine shop and put it together.

the repair on the fenders is past the metalwork stage and into bodywork, can't wait to try my hand on matching that old green patina paint.

also, well underway on the auto trans conversion but pics on that later.

back in a few days...

Re: tilly to the rescue

So glad I got to see this truck in person...
And the pic of the fender with the patch on the leading edge solves the riddle of the following pic I snapped at the Get-Together...


and the Bed Boards are Nice!!!

Have a Great Week Clem!!!

thank you don, i think those old boards turned out pretty good too and the multi-coatings glued them back together.

thanks flips, and it is tough keeping it all straight. solution i use is to write it on tape and stick it to the part, simple but it works...

i am looking forward to firing this one up... don't do many sixes around here.

the pic is a 30 foot trailer we polished and painted along with a bunch of repair but now its a super cool mobile store for a clothing outfitters company. and a great bunch of guys.
check out the polished six hole wheels and the 59 caddy taillights... it was a fun project...

Re: tilly to the rescue

hope everybody had a great thanksgiving and ate way too much. me, i fell into a food coma and the NFL knocked me out completely. but in the 2 hour drive there and back i had time to ponder about friends and family... they're the best of all things. and i'm very thankful.

ok, on to the truck stuff.

even though this thread is about tilly (c20 utility bed) i seem to be spending more time on sam&kims c20 patina farm truck.
we overhauled the 292 and converted to a power glide which was freshly overhauled, switched to an automatic column, changed cross members and installed original power steering components... and attempted to match the original patina. whew, i got tired just typing it...

Re: tilly to the rescue

the patina is still an ongoing challenge and i'm not quite there yet...

shown is a old blue wheel tub which i scuffed up pretty good, wiped down and sprayed with a hand mixed light green. after some tinting and airbrush work the color was close enough to tina-up. the middle pic shows the color change and the further tub shows tina-work...

last pic shows the tub stuck back in the bed...

Re: tilly to the rescue

also mixed up some paint for the front fenders. i had my local paint jobber shoot a pic of the original green and mix a pint. then shot a pic of places that had been washed out by 40 years of sun and weather and mixed a pint. it was amazing how different the 2 colors were and on the same truck. after some tinting and flattening, and spraying a bunch of test strips i laid down the final choice...
