New guy from BAMA - Page 2 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

LooseScrews · 04-11-2007, 12:00 PM

Welcome from a Bama gal!! We're just north of you in Chilton County. Post pics as we are a visual crowd here!

FlatBrokeRacing · 04-11-2007, 02:46 PM

Hey looseScrews,
Good to know someone is close. I am somewhat apprehensive about posting pics. There are soooo many beautiful trucks around here. Even when it is finished, mine will still be un-refined, and will never see a coat of gloss paint. If you are still interested, be glad to post em' for ya.

LooseScrews · 04-11-2007, 03:06 PM

Heck! Don't be shy! Look what son is working with:

Looks like this as of last night:

That is son removing the windshield....he's 13 and it's "his sexy truck"...yea, RIGHT !!!

And here is a quick shot of his OTHER '67 project:

It's a 1967 Boston Whaler 13' Classic Sport. It's going to the liner today and we'll get it back next week. Rub rail will be added and new 30 hp motor. Ready for the reds!

Son is lucky to have so many '67's around!! (I'm a '67, too)!

I believe Shane is from Monkey-town as well as onetonK5. Both are SUPER nice guys who have put up with my ramblings. You'll see 'em post from time to time. And give us a holler! We'll meet at Fantails when the projects get done!

FlatBrokeRacing · 04-11-2007, 03:30 PM

Good deal,
I thought the fantail had closed. man that is some good eatin'. Every time I have been there to eat, I had to be carried out in a wheel barrow.

I will have to see about posting pics in the next few days. Don't look like the weather is going to cooperate with me this weekend. Soon as I get mine done it will be "Tire Roastin' Time Again"

Loosescrews & OnetonK5:
Thanks for letting me know of others in the area. Hope to paint mine (flat black pimer) next week some time.
Like I said in an earlier post, it won't be a show truck, It is a go truck!!!!!!

Will post pics later of what it was when I got it home and what it looks like after paint.

Car show tomorrow evening in Hartford, AL, its almost to Florida on AL 167, usually good crowd from 4 until 8 or dark.

smirch9 · 04-28-2007, 09:34 AM

Welcome!

TRUCKER-TRUCKIN' · 04-29-2007, 03:00 AM

Welcome being here is like pulling up to the parts store and seeing someone with a truck kinda like yours, you know ya got something to talk about with em'. good luck.

FlatBrokeRacing · 05-01-2007, 09:24 AM

Thanks for the response everyone. I busted my tail this weekend, disassembled the whole truck (for the most part and painted it) I shot it with a top coat, single stage paint (flatner added) and I'm not sure if it was a lack of painting ability on my part or the use of a cheap top feed spray gun, but the end result looks like a matte black finish. (man I love it) I will post pics hopefully tommorrow. I also accented the door panels and grill.

Now all I need to do is get the wood to finish the bed. (that might be a headache)

LooseScrews · 05-01-2007, 10:37 AM

What type of wood? Husband owns a cabinet shop. He might could get it a little cheaper. When the time comes, he's gonna do the bed for the K10.

FlatBrokeRacing · 05-01-2007, 11:13 AM

My dad and his boss are supposed to be milling me some 1x8x8 planks of White oak. If it all pans out, that will be a beautiful bed. I have to replace all the runners and ALL the hardware but really can't do it all at one time. If the wood situation falls through I will most definately let you know.

Thanks for a heads up on that. Does your husband do all kinds of cabinet work?

LooseScrews · 05-01-2007, 11:30 AM

Yep! Commercial and residential both. His passion is off shore fishing, so my kitchen has BOAT CLEATS as the pulls!!! Unstained mahogany. He was thinking of putting mahogany in the truck. I'm trying to talk him out of it if the truck is gonna be used by a teenager!!
