Re: Grizz's Redneck Express 1966 Chevy Short Fleetside RESTO-GO!

Woke at Stupid-O-Clock and had a mug of tea, then lay surfing the web for three hours and went to one dismal Bootfair.

Home by 08.00 and pressure cleaning and washing outside the garage where I had the petrol and underseal fiasco yesterday.... Still looks terrible.

Then did the seam sealer so that it could go off while we went to Nicola's dads place where I cut down some trees and shrubs for him.



Back home just after 12.00 and then painted the front half of the chassis, top and bottom after masking some bits.



Very happy with the outcome so far.

All the cleaning and preparation paying off, it does take up the majority of the time but if you do, the result will not come back later to bite you in the bum.

Floor was seam sealed inside and outside on joins and all welds.

Underseal brushed on, I have also got spray on Schultz underseal but prefer. Getting into corners and around the back of folds.



Altogether now.......



At about 5.30 Martin popped over to help me get the cab down and move the bed into the back of the garage.

He seemed happy with the progress and result, he has a super critical eye.

So this is where my weekend ended, during the week I will paint the inner floor as I had done a second coat of seam sealer as well.



I am really pleased that I got this lot done this weekend as it means I have an episode to close before heading to Clem's shindig.



Tired tonight, but happy.
