rckclmbr99 · 02-11-2009, 02:06 PM

texanidiot25 · 02-11-2009, 03:47 PM

Rustoleum FTW! It's on the wheels of my truck and the fender of my former firebird..

thirdstreettito · 02-11-2009, 04:10 PM

Sweet build! I'm 16 and have 3 trucks already, I bought the 72 and 68 when I was 15 and my 84 I just bought last week. Keep up the good work!

rckclmbr99 · 02-13-2009, 12:26 PM

ya its been raining here now and after it rains a cold front comes in so I only have one wheel painted. fail. hopefully it wont be too cold tomorrow and i can finish them up and get some rubber on them so then i can get them under the truck and see how they look... im thinkin leavin them flat black for now with some smooth caps and maybe some mini white walls if i can find some. also i just got a paycheck so im well on my way to get the engine and tranny, I just need to find a good deal
Take it easy,

texanidiot25 · 02-13-2009, 05:29 PM

I painted mine in 50 degree weather. Roll the wheels inside, and the spray cans as well. Let them sit for a few hours to reach room temp. Roll out one wheel at a time, spray quickly, and roll it back in. Use light coats. The 1st coat or two shouldn't totally cover the wheel.

Use a good primer as well to help the paint to stick.

rckclmbr99 · 02-13-2009, 09:32 PM

thanks texan.
So I go the bondo of the bed side today and shot it with a coat of primer so it wouldnt rust. Its pretty nasty! got the wheels painted also. Tomorrow im gonna finish up takin bondo off the other bed side and maybe start to redo it but it needs quite a bit of work.
well anyways... pics:

you cant see it very well but there are little hole all on the bedside

Take it easy,
Jonathan

texanidiot25 · 02-13-2009, 11:39 PM

Your rear wheels are the same as what I have:

drewdude92 · 02-14-2009, 02:05 AM

awesome im another 16 well 17 year old now as of a few weeks ago it would be awesome if a few of us lived closer but o well...haha i got a 72 long bed and a 71 longbed...and still counting

LuckyHenriksen · 02-14-2009, 03:11 AM

Yep we all have to be scattered around the country

*Dylan · 02-14-2009, 09:43 AM

I hear ya on that one. Those wheels are lookin' sharp man, I'd add a clear coat to give them a gloss feel and roll em' like that, they'd look sweet as hell.

rckclmbr99 · 02-14-2009, 01:53 PM

Thanks for the comments guys its been rainin all day here .so i havent got to do anything. I dont have school on monday so im hopin to get alot of time to work before i go see my girlfriend. maybe i should make her come over here so i can work haha
Take it easy,
Jonathan

rckclmbr99 · 03-03-2009, 06:48 PM

so not much has been gettin done lately. ive been really busy and its been super cold. eventually i would like to bag it (after i get it runnin) so i made a list off all the stuff i need and i really need a job! its not gonna be cheep to do it right and like i want it. i got one lined up at a auto shop this summer so id like to wait and just do that but i need money now so i guess the hunt begins.... its supposed to get warmer this week and i have early release tomorrow so after i go off roadin with some guys ill probably get to work takin the bed off and gettin all that all cleaned up
Take it easy,
Jonathan

rckclmbr99 · 03-11-2009, 07:49 PM

Well early release i ended up goin to little mountain (off roadin place) with a bunch of people so ive been busy cleanin my other truck and i had to replace the alternator but the past few days ive been workin on the c10. ive never used bondo before so i figured id give it a shot on som low spot in the cab and on the cab seam:

well it aint done yet. i have ADD and i always get distracted and start on somethin else haha

Take it easy,
Jonathan

rckclmbr99 · 03-11-2009, 07:54 PM

Then today I took off the bed so i can start cleanin it and whatnot:

then i started to remove the bumpstop brackets:

the frame is in really good shape and the bed is pretty good minus where all the bondo was on the bed sides but its fixable. hopefully tomorrow the rain will hold off til friday and i can clean up the frame and all that good stuff. Also I think ive decided to do a single triangulated 4-link when i bag it. im not sure if i wanna do bag over axle or not... well see.
Take it easy,
Jonathan

VA72C10 · 03-11-2009, 07:58 PM

Just a note from what I have been told...if you bondo the cab seam, when it flexes, it will crack and ruin your paint. It should be welded first if you want to smooth it. Other than that I would recommend cleaning out the seam. Wouldn't want to see you spray it all pretty in the future only to have your paint chip out as soon as you get it on the road.

VA72C10 · 03-11-2009, 08:06 PM

Nice progress by the way...

rckclmbr99 · 03-11-2009, 09:31 PM

thanks man 'preciate the tip. it wont be gettin painted for a while though b/c of money and i want to get it runnin, safe, and bagged but hey i mine as well do it right the first time around! thanks again
Take it easy,
Jonathan

rckclmbr99 · 03-13-2009, 06:23 PM

well today i sanded the bondo with 120 with the da sander. still need to mix some more bondo and finish it up but i wanted to get atleast the outer frame rails painted.
pics:

cleaned:

painted:

went to buy flat red paint b/c im gonna paint my frame that color just because i feel like it but no one had it so im gonna order some so ill have to wait til late next week b/c its supposed to start rainin tonight. also i ordered some paint and a pinstriping brush. ive been wantin to start stripin (rhymes with typin haha) for a while so i figured nows a good time to start. ill try to keep yall updated
Take it easy,
Jonathan

67ChevyRedneck · 03-13-2009, 08:17 PM

Hey man, it's coming along nicely!

rckclmbr99 · 03-16-2009, 07:10 PM
