We need to have some kind of "super drool" icon... That truck is pretty darn perfect in my book.

Ed 72 Sierra Grande · 04-24-2011, 01:56 AM

insane build. Congrats on a over the top build!!

Sicklajoie · 04-24-2011, 05:46 AM

Wow

CUSHE63 · 04-24-2011, 10:00 AM

Thanks everyone for the positive comments. Jon and I have mixed in old with new on his truck. Here are the door panels brfore we painted them with SEM paint. These are the very same door panels that came with the truck when we got it...believe it or not..and the same arm rests...

Sharpe looking truck, nice work!!!

468BIGBLOCK · 04-24-2011, 11:10 AM

Nice!!!!!

mcbassin · 04-24-2011, 02:26 PM

those door panels turned out great! Is that paint you used is pretty durable? I used to use some that paint in a spray can I think it was called Mar Hyde. It looked good but would scratch pretty easy.

The door panels themselves were pretty scratched and faded and chalky. We washed them with warm soapy water and scrubbed them up with a gray scratch pad, dried them off and shot the color out of a gravity gun. I don't know about durability yet, but it the past have used this paint with good success. I do know they are still pretty brittle on the edges, but we are short on funds for now and the paint was 24.00 per pint.

Well, at $24 a pint, you can always touch them up later if needed since I'm sure you have plenty left. They look great!

B-e-a-uuuutiful!!!!!

CUSHE63 · 04-24-2011, 10:34 PM

I know painted they make the woodgrain inserts look much better. We are in the home stretch now. Just need some real nice lower mouldings to help finish it off.

OH YES... He is after me already. I told him I want to see it together (at least all the important stuff working and assembled) So he can drive it safely. We will install a spray in bedliner later, carpet, headliner, glovebox door, heat diverter....etc. Then we will do small drives to check the operation of all the mechanicals..He is being prety patient.

Steve

CUSHE63 · 04-27-2011, 12:50 PM

And we did build it to drive it.....period. It ain't perfect..nothing is. But it will represent a lot of hard work and he will have a lifetime of experience to go along with it...

Steve

**67cheby** · 04-27-2011, 01:30 PM

BEAUTIFUL work...and nice Bug also !!

mcbassin · 04-27-2011, 01:34 PM

Looking good Steve! You are getting closer all the time.

**DANTIP** · 04-29-2011, 12:45 PM

I was lucky enough to see the truck and it is OUTSTANDING!! The workmanship was stunning. The build thread photos do not do this truck justice. Steve and his son have done virtually everything and the result is first-class. I can't wait to see it on the road!!!

Nice Work!!!
