Started preparing the firewall for some bed liner. You know, sand, sand, sand some more, filler, sand, filler, sand, sand...haha

You are making great progress on an already beautiful truck. Pus you have a nice shop to work in. Excelent Work! Keep it up and by the time you get your licence you will have one sweet ride!

Re: Project "April"
 

Great work!! I wish I was that good when I was 15 (hell even now!). Keep it up and you will be very happy with your work!

Re: Project "April"
 

Keep up the great work! Love that original paint!

Re: Project "April"
 

Looks good but you forgot 'repeat'

Re: Project "April"
 

Man it looks nice!! I love seeing people around my age doing this. Im 16 and hoping to get my first truck sometime later this year. I will definitely be following this one!

Re: Project "April"
 

Looks awesome. Great project you have going there. Im surprised you went with bed liner for the inner fenders, and firewall. Any reason for that? Just noise resistance maybe?

Re: Project "April"
 

I'm using bed liner because it's durable, and because I think it will make the engine pop. (The engine will be Chevy orange and the rest of the engine compartment will be black) It should make a nice, simple contrast. Plus, I just really like the look of bed liner.

Re: Project "April"
 

I would have to side with 1972 Super Cheyenne here, Paint the firewall body colored, just my .02 , the orange will still pop !

Re: Project "April"
 

I love the bedliner in the bed, under the cab, etc... But I wouldpaint the firewall body color. Looks awesome either way!

Re: Project "April"
 

Sorry I haven't posted in a while. I've been getting work done, just kept forgetting about the forum. Anyways, I sanded down the floor, put 2x layers of POR-15, then Dynamat. Hoping for a quiet ride.

Re: Project "April"
 

Welded Vintage air plates to firewall and covered unnecessary holes. Hit it with some Epoxy-Primer. Finished with bedliner.

Re: Project "April"
 

Cut, and welded this plate thing to the chassis--where the P.O. cut the frame to shorten it. Hoping to add strength.

Re: Project "April"
 

Sandblasted frame and axle, then Epoxy-Primer. btw--sandblasting a chassis is a lot of work!

Re: Project "April"
 

Chassis-Black on the chassis and axle.

Re: Project "April"
 

Man this thing is looking NICE!! Very good looking truck! Keep it up!

Ladies and gentlemen, we have a roller:chevy:

I can't install the brakes, because I don't have new wheels yet (The brakes are too big to fit in the original wheels). But, I just had to test fit them;) so here's how they'll look!

Re: Project "April"
 

Very nice! It's nice to see a young man working hard on such a great project. In a world full of baggy pants teenage mutants it's good to be reminded that there are good kids / young men out there!

Re: Project "April"
 

X2 I couldn't have said it better

Re: Project "April"
 

:agree: Well said!
Love the new brakes! Keep up the good work

Re: Project "April"
 

So I haven't really decided on the seating yet. But I did see this set up in a 67 the other day, and I really liked it! I'm thinking those seats, in this tan color...any thoughts?

Re: Project "April"
 

They look almost like buddy buckets if you leave the head rest off. So...I like them and saddle or parchment looks good with Ochre. What are they out of?..
