**TJ's Chevy** · 07-06-2015, 09:53 PM

Get a big tarp and cover yourself and the truck. lol Problem solved.

RANDY COX · 07-07-2015, 08:40 PM

Yea I thought about a lean toon... I did manage to get a couple of my wheels painted...

Gotta try to paint the front ones tomorrow, I still gotta get that ^%&%$% cab corner in I need almost 3 hands... guess I'm gonna have to ask JAKE my son since this was suppose to be our build together... Oh Jake Daddy needs your help...

**TJ's Chevy** · 07-07-2015, 09:25 PM

Good looking wheels! Better not get any mud on them!

RANDY COX · 07-07-2015, 09:50 PM

T.J. that will be hard to do if it just keeps on sitting... I think I'm gonna slap it together for now and get it road worthy and enjoy driving it some til my funds get replenished to
buy some more sheet metal....

61K10 · 07-08-2015, 01:02 PM

Good plan Randy. get er on the road and have some fun, might even get your son motivated. If nothing else it might get you more motivated lol. wheels look nice---one piece at a time.

1963c-10 · 07-08-2015, 01:40 PM

Rims looking great!!!

**argonaut** · 07-09-2015, 01:35 PM

I like the color!

RANDY COX · 07-09-2015, 01:47 PM

Well let's see I got the cab corner partially welded in and ran out of welding wire... I have to wait on my son when he get's off of work to help me align the door, then I can start assembling the front sheet metal... Thanks Guys...

RANDY COX · 07-10-2015, 06:53 PM

well finally got that corner welded in, and the door adjusted for now... I have to go back now and mud everything in now... glad to get this much done.. As I don't move like I used to.. I just don't have the gumption I used to have..It must be age I'm 48 now...

I have all the front end back on except the hood.. After I get the corners mudded in then I can put the bed back on and it might look like a truck again....

RANDY COX · 07-16-2015, 07:59 PM

well I've got some mud started won't be too long and I can set the bed back on...

PROGRESS,PROGRESS,PROGRESS

RANDY COX · 07-17-2015, 08:41 PM

let's see got out there this evening and adjusted my clutch so it's letting half way up instead of right off the floor easy fix, replaced my return line for power steering. And another small coat of mud on the rear corners.... I need to clean out all the tools in the seat and in the floor boards it makes it hard to find what I'm looking for... sorry no pixs...
unless you want to see a pix of me....Yikes... I tried to change but couldn't...

This is me cruising the Blue Ridge Parkway in Floyd Co. Va....

RANDY COX · 07-17-2015, 08:47 PM

RANDY COX · 07-25-2015, 05:26 PM

Not much to report got out there today and sanded half back of cab all the way down to metal.. found some old dings below the rear window imagine that... And one dent below
gas filler...

been working a lot of OT latelty so a little at a time.....

**argonaut** · 07-26-2015, 11:49 AM

Looking good man!

Actually, I meant the pickup.

RANDY COX · 08-01-2015, 08:30 PM

OK finally got the rear cab sanded....

got to do some mudding this thing has more little dings than I thought there everywhere.
I think that once I get the top side sanded and painted white then I'll paint the backside of cab. Going to do it in stages as I get them ready...This is just going to be a driver anyway....

mud.man.rj · 08-02-2015, 01:06 AM

Looking good, a lot of work..

61K10 · 08-02-2015, 12:13 PM

you're getting there Randy. looking good, and your cab is way better than mine. nice job on the corners.

RANDY COX · 08-02-2015, 01:26 PM

Thanks Guys, But Kimble I still have rust above windshield on the inside that ought to be fun to fix.... I really need to pull the windshield for that I really need a garage... still hopefull...soon maybe....

**TJ's Chevy** · 08-02-2015, 10:39 PM

Progress!

RANDY COX · 08-07-2015, 08:39 PM

Start spreading the news I mean Bondo, Mudd, Plastic feeler, whatever you want to call it
this is the part that I hate....spread it on sand it off spread it on sand it off... wax on wax
off wax on wax off.... well you know the story...this is the tedious stuff I hate but it has to be done in order to look descent....yada yada yada... Ok that's enough....

mud.man.rj · 08-08-2015, 01:56 AM

I agree, I can take weeks making sure every aspect of building an engine is "perfect" and getting it done, even smoothing the block but bodywork, can do but so tedious, can hardly take it. Thumbs up buddy on your muddin job..

**argonaut** · 08-08-2015, 10:03 AM

Hang in there Randy! Once you're done and you spray it you'll look back and be glad you reskimmed and resanded so many times. But if not you'll be kicking yourself for not doing it just one more time.

So get back to work!

61K10 · 08-08-2015, 01:12 PM

I did it so many times and still have waves and some small dents. make sure you have a long board when blocking.

**argonaut** · 08-08-2015, 08:49 PM

So true. I thought my doors were looking sweet until I painted them. Then I could see the little imperfections. But I'm okay with it because it's a driver not a showpiece.

**bhc41051** · 08-08-2015, 09:19 PM

Awesome work on the cab Randy, keep up the good work!
