Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Ok. Here are the pics from the past few days. I got the rest of the cab done and sanded the inside. My bed was not too bad so all it needed was a little bondo and alot of sanding, also welded some holes shut that were in the top sides of the bed. Used a BFH to straighten a couple of small dings.

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Sorry to hear about the bug, and yah i will get down there tomorow, not that far to go, a couple of pit stops on the way, lol. I will be in vegas for SEMA though. kinda close, my first time that far into the states, not including Miami once. Just keep thoses cold ones on ice for me, and do not hold your breath. What i would not give to be albe to just go and visit!

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

the beers are for after the pinstriping... but maybe that would be the next fad....

Body work is looking good.... I better speed up.....hahahaha. I'm cheating and having a friend do the final. I probably should have gone the route you did so i could learn a little more and keep a lil more coin in my wallet...

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Don't think for a minute that I didn't have help!!! I do have a bodyman that works for me on weekends and guides me on what to do while he is doing something else or during the week when he isn't there. It's on the job training......without the pay. If I don't do good enough for him, then he does it again and charges me.....good incentive I guess. I'll be in The Big D on the 17th and then coming back to The Dome Home on the 18th. Going to Martini Blvd or something like that.

hey, what color did you say you were painting it? i totally forgot.oh, and did that dude ever rebuild that 327 you had? all these posts and no motor pics!! :lol:

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Looking at Tangelo Orange Candy, may not be that color in the end but that is what I would like. I gave the motor (283) to him on March 2nd and since then he has given me the 327 and a bunch of excuses as to why my engine has not been touched. The 327 was hot tanked one time and that's it. But on the flipside I really don't need it right now because the body and paint is eating my wallet. The 327 will be done in a couple of months I hope. I see you are going to do a build thread on the burb!

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

ya lol eventually. i got the whole front end primered black, sanding down my doors as we speak and hopefully they should be in primer by this weekend, then ill start replacing my passenger rear quarter. i might start an official thread next week, lol. as soon as my fittings come in im gonna start bagging the front! :metal:


oh..you need to take that 68 bug out of your sig..didnt you sell it?! ;)

slacker...... :lol:

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Alright, I have been slackin a little. Maybe I will change the name to Slacker 67. Work is taking all my time now, but the checks are gonna look better! Well here is the update. I have the final coat of primer on all parts and have started sanding everything with 400 grit. This is where all projects seem to be slow going, but I should have some paint on the truck in 2 to 3 weeks, I can't wait! I got a new Goodmark tailgate Saturday, looks great! It is as heavy as the original and is a good repro of the real thing. I drilled the holes in it for the trim and have it ready for primer. The door hinges have paint on them and I should be hanging the doors on the cab for the last time this week.

It's looking good...and it's good to have the work to fund the project...

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Happy to b workin!!

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

nice progress

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Thanks Heath. I will add to the many posts about tailgate fitment issues when I get to that point. Goodmark tailgates seem to be the brand that get the best reviews, and I will give input on mine. I can already say that the trim fits perfectly.

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

UPDATE! Worked on the truck for a few hours today and got a little accomplished. 2nd coat of primer on the hood, epoxy primed the doors then primered them, misted the hood and doors, and hung one door on the cab. Not bad for 7 hours work.

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

I think you are still ahead, oh yeah forgot to tell ya that the smooth firewall is makin me jealous. Just called my bodyman to see if he could work a couple of days this week while I am at work. Hope that gets me closer to my painting goal. BTW, I drew a pic of what I think it will look like when finished. I'll scan it and put it up here today. A little "Chip Foose" was happening at my drafting table this weekend.

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
