I forgot to mention how great my cab dolly system works. I can roll it around as well as roll it over to front or back. Made my job a whole lot easier.

Re: 67 long box
 

That is a really trick cab dolley stand. Any problems rolling it over on the forks so you can get to the bottom?

Re: 67 long box
 

I put a set of C-clamps on the wheels and roll it over. Nose down on the floor or it rolls on the tubes without touching the body to the back side. The tubes rest on the floor but the body doesn't hit the tubes. I can tilt it to the nose and back myself but need a second set of hands to tilt backwards .

bottom sprayed and almost ready for paint. One step closer

Re: 67 long box
 

crack repair and restoration

Re: 67 long box
 

ready for paint tomorrow

Re: 67 long box
 

Looking pretty good!

Re: 67 long box
 

cab interior painted and fire wall. It's ready to sit on the frame, so it's time to bring in the frame. I reached a milestone today and is a good day. It's funny I was a body man, a sheet metal worker, a metal fabricator, mechanic, media blaster, and now a painter. I still have to be a mechanic, wiring specialist, an assembler and body fitment specialist, glass installer and paint buffer. It's a good thing I don't have a sewing machine or I would do that to.

Any progress is progress.

steering column disassembled and painted, wheel turned out great. Filled the shifter opening in the column and cut off the shift arms on the bottom so it looks like a factory floor shift. door hinges got a coat of blue as well.

Re: 67 long box
 

That is a really pretty metallic blue.

Re: 67 long box
 

Looking really good! What did you use to repair the cracks in the steering wheel?

Re: 67 long box
 

it is that is factory color and its ppg Omni line one stage. I love the metallic but hard to spray even

Re: 67 long box
 

Thanks I used a dremel and ground it out, then used two part epoxy puddy the polyester puddy to finish. Not an easy job blending the shaped wheel.

Re: 67 long box
 

amazing work. love it.

Re: 67 long box
 

Thanks the project has been a lot of work and now it's starting to show.

I sure am grateful for the digital camera, it makes it easy to remember reassembly when I take pics before disassembled.

Re: 67 long box
 

great build! awesome idea on the seam sealer and thinner.

Re: 67 long box
 

Thanks, it spread the seam sealer out and made it easy to make a nice flowing edge. I can't take credit for the idea, as I saw it online. but I did pass it on.

Re: 67 long box
 

Steering column done and put away. got the frame in, prepped it for satin clear for UV and got it sprayed.

Re: 67 long box
 

Man you are moving at a fast pace this thing is going to be done before we know what happened.

Re: 67 long box
 

Thanks I plan on diving it in May so the push is on

Re: 67 long box
 

Yeah the frame looks really good. How many hours a week are you putting into the build?

Re: 67 long box
 

Thanks I try to get at least a couple hours a day, some days more some days none. My wife said she'll see me after the build. I get pretty involved once I start working and I plan ahead so the next day is productive. I don't drink beer which I heard slows build progress so this helps

Re: 67 long box
 

brake and fuel lines bent and installed.

Re: 67 long box
 

Your progress is quite astonishing. Looks pretty damn good
