Here are some pictures from the painter, he is going to start sanding/bodywork tommorow.

Matt Man · 05-17-2017, 01:03 AM

I think Cochino cursed my paint schedule

but my painter got all the bodywork done and its going to be in primer Thursday. After its in primer he is going to block sand then the base/clear will go on, wait a couple of days then color sand and polish and block sand the clear. Hopefully by the end of next week I will have it back.

He said he had a hell of a time doing my passenger door. I knew the door had been repaired poorly before, so it was just really beat. The glass guy will pull out the front side and rear windows before he paints it and new rear and side glass will be installed along with the chrome front and rear weatherstripping. I am so excited, I miss driving her and seeing her in my driveway.

I will get more pictures of the body work soon, but for now here is a teaser picture.

Paint jail! Can't wait until you get it back.

Truck is getting primed today and will be block sanded tommorow. Here are some picture of the rest of the body work.

Jstock85 · 05-19-2017, 12:13 AM

Gonna look good!!

Matt Man · 05-19-2017, 04:29 PM

Primer is on!

Matt Man · 05-28-2017, 08:01 PM

Took advantage of the local pick n pull 40% off Memorial day weekend sale and got a headliner and headliner trim that is in awesome shape. Paid 20$ for everything. When my truck gets back from paint I will put it on with some fatmat on the roof.

The truck I got it from was a 74 Cheyenne super short bed, it definitely did not deserve to be in the junkyard no rust and the cab was pretty straight the bed however was shot. It also had a nicer woodgrain dash with matching door panels.

Here is a picture of the trim:

LT7A · 07-03-2018, 07:07 PM

Truck looks really really good.

rusty76 · 05-28-2017, 10:36 PM

At one time I had a 74 Chyeene Super. Blue and white. Probably should have kept it.

Matt Man · 07-01-2017, 09:52 PM

Ok guys looks like photobucket decided to nerf all my pictures unless I subscribe to them for a monthly fee, so for now on I gotta use a different host to upload from.

It's red! I will be picking it up next Thursday.

cochino12 · 07-02-2017, 12:46 AM

I liked the blue but the red is sexy

deejaaa1 · 07-02-2017, 12:57 AM

what photo host are you using? PB is turning into a suck.

I am using tinypic, should have used it from the start.

Greenlee · 07-02-2017, 07:27 AM

Looks great! Same color I painted mine.

I used Photobucket for my build thread also. I just checked it and kind of expected my pictures to be gone, but they are still there. Not sure what the deal is. I don't think I was paying a fee. Guess I better check my credit card!

Matt Man · 07-03-2017, 11:14 PM

Got the raptor liner sprayed today and some color sanding done. Sandpaper used was 1500, 2500, 3000.

MTCK · 07-04-2017, 12:05 AM

Great work it is getting close.

Jaysonb · 07-04-2017, 08:33 AM

Looks good! I bet you're getting anxious to drive it again.

daddyjeep · 07-05-2017, 12:53 PM

How many coats of the Raptor Liner is that? It doesn't look extremely thick. I was planning on using that on the underside of the cab and bed as well as in the bed.

I do not know, I will ask the painter when I pick it up. I have heard that raptor liner is pretty good for the money. I just don't have the coin for linex. I don't work this truck that hard anyway so hopefully it will last.

Matt Man · 07-07-2017, 05:42 PM

More and more delays hopefully I will pick it up this weekend. Here is a picture of the door color sanded and buffed.

moregrip · 07-07-2017, 07:42 PM

My uncle paints airplanes for a living (he just finished one of Trump's personal planes) this is one of his workers that paints cars on the side.
