Got the right side blocked. I have just a few small spots to glaze and about 6 inches of one seam to work on. Seems to be turning out great!

Sounds great! probably around noon(ish).

Re: my "71 C10 project
 

I got (what I hope is) the last bit of glaze on the bed body lines tonight. Thursday I'll work those and get some epoxy on the spots (only a couple) I sanded through. Saturday I'll scuff and put the last coats of slick sand on and on to the 600...then paint. Here we go!

Hi Rex,
The truck and all the work your doing is coming out great, nice metal work there. We had the 69 out for a spin yesterday and up to starbright to drop off a few pieces to have chromed. Love to stop by and chat some time.

Happy Holidays

Scott

Lookin' great, Rex!

Re: my "71 C10 project
 

Rex i'm free tonight to help you out if you're going to work on it. Scott did you see the thread for the GTG on the 15th

Re: my "71 C10 project
 

Sounds great Scott. I am home most evenings. Garage isn't pretty right now so be prepared. *I've seen your pics of yours :metal:. I'll message you my address and cell number.

Re: my "71 C10 project
 

Thank you! My arms and chest are getting quite the work out too! rawr!

Re: my "71 C10 project
 

Sounds great! I should be home around 5. I'll give you a call when I am on my way. I have the heat on the bed so it should be good to go. Maybe even get the epoxy on tonight. That would open up Saturday for some final sanding/blocking.

Re: my "71 C10 project
 

Lookin' great!

Re: my "71 C10 project
 

Thanks for the looks and encouraging words guys! It helps with motivation to get it done.

Looks even better in person. I can't wait until Rex and I cut my long box down.

Re: my "71 C10 project
 

@67, Thanks! Just read through your build. Very nice and what a score on that parts truck. Are you parting the rest of it out?

@JRE, thanks for all your help bud. Let's get that dolly figured out for your bed and git er done!

Re: my "71 C10 project
 

I think I have something figured out for the cart.

Re: my "71 C10 project
 

Took some time away from the body work. Pulled the front off and sandblasted everything. The surround actually turned out great. Thinking about going with a burnished chrome look. If it turns out the way I think it will I'll do the bumpers the same way.

Re: my "71 C10 project
 

Looking good Rex and Iam sure it will when you paint it , but man I'd love to see that thing with a brand new white paint job. I love it all white haha.

Re: my "71 C10 project
 

Thanks! I really like a clean white truck too. The paint that is on it had a pearl in it. Looked awesome under street lights at night. I think I have a scheme cooked up that may be even better! I'll start playing with some detailer's tape soon to see if the lines (teaser hint) will turn out the way I hope they will.

Re: my "71 C10 project
 

Just to prove I am making progress...here is a pic of my tailgate I just finished. Well I got it in epoxy anyway. I'm going to refurbish my tailgate band and add that along with the tail light trim. That will be about the only bling it'll get. I'm painting the middle of the band (no woodgrain) the same color as the base...which will remain a secret for now...
Posted via Mobile Device sorry...don't know how to orient the pic right.

Re: my "71 C10 project
 

I've made a little progress. I got my cables and hardware ready to go for the tailgate. Once I have it mounted I'll post up more detail. I want to be sure it works.
