Thanks Bro! The owner picked up the camaro yesterday, so i am going to get started this weekend. I'll post some pics.

butternut1972 · 10-16-2010, 11:02 AM

Took some quick pictures of a few parts last night after getting the garage some what organized again.

butternut1972 · 10-28-2010, 11:59 PM

Alright guy's progress has been slow, work has been crazy busy and I'm dead tired when I get home and all I want to do is sit my butt! I did get the exhaust off, door glass out, most of the interior out. One thing that takes me so long is bagging all the screws and misc. stuff and marking the bags. I am going to try and have the rest of the tear down done this weekend so I start sanding.

Slick67 · 10-29-2010, 08:27 PM

Dude! That is good progress. Baggin and Taggin takes time but we all know it's well worth it!

Thanks! I got some things done today, pulled the doors, started on pulling the wood in the bed, tailgate, But I mostly spent more time listening to the Talladega race as I was laying under the truck. Oh well some progress is better than none.

butternut1972 · 11-21-2010, 12:08 AM

Well here is a little progress. Finished pulling the rear fenders, wood in bed, more baggin and taggin of nuts and bolts. Hopefully tommorow I will finish puliing the dash, heater, and the dirty work can begin.

butternut1972 · 12-12-2010, 09:33 PM

I'm finally getting some things done. Finished disassembly. Pulled front susp. apart, started cleaning the frame, stripping firewall. I will pick up the front end parts this week and am going to try and have the frame/parts all painted and back together this week.

butternut1972 · 12-31-2010, 10:15 PM

The last few nights i have been doing the bodywork on the firewall, sanding inside of cab, but damm it's cold out there. I need a heater so I can get stuff done.

Slick67 · 12-31-2010, 10:43 PM

Beans and Tequila.

Just don't light a cig. I see ya got some good progress going on. Keep up the momentum!!! Happy New Year!

RCbowtie69 · 01-01-2011, 01:10 PM

looking good & u are making some head way, keep pictures of progress coming

butternut1972 · 01-02-2011, 01:40 PM

Got the box off yesterday, more work on firewall, it seems like I spent most of the day sanding on door jamb.

butternut1972 · 01-02-2011, 01:42 PM

OOPS I forgot the pics. I need more coffee.

**Palf70Step** · 01-02-2011, 03:16 PM

Your truck was really sharp to begin with, can't wait to see finish it up this time.

butternut1972 · 01-16-2011, 10:18 PM

Been sanding like a mad man. I started hauling parts to the painter today YEHAW!

butternut1972 · 02-08-2011, 12:20 AM

Got the firewall primed tonight and got some of the front suspension parts painted. I forgot my camera at work so I have no pics. I'm going to try and have everything painted this week so I can assemble the front end this weekend.

David67 · 02-08-2011, 12:44 AM

Looks awesome!! Very very nice to start out with......gives me tons of motivation for my '67 stepside. Mine also has a 4/6 and TTII's so this is very encouraging! Haha you're tearing down everything that I've been trying to build up to this whole time

butternut1972 · 02-13-2011, 11:10 PM

I spent most of Saturday finishing up cleaning some parts, got the frame painted, all of the suspension stuff painted. Today I got the rear end hung, pulled the axles for the new seals and bearings.Got the control arm bushings and ball joints installed. Hopefully it will be a roller this week. Also I ordered my Hellwig sway bars. Can't wait to roll it outside and clean my garage it is driving me crazy. Anyway hope you all like progress.

Slick67 · 02-13-2011, 11:16 PM

Now we can see that clean c-notch, looks killer. You have been really busy the past few days and it really shows on the truck! I know you have been working hard cause theres a Bud Light sittin on the sawhorse next to the fresh paint!!!!

Thanks Bro.The Bud light came out and the Bud shootout was on T.V. All progress came to a halt.

butternut1972 · 02-25-2011, 12:50 AM

Here's a little progress. Most of the front suspension is done, I got the wrong bolts/nuts with my new sway bar so I didn't get it installed tonight. Rearend is in, still need to install the axles and brakes/lines. Maybe it will roll this weekend.

The last pic is what it looked like today when I got home, and it is friggin' cold out. It's putting a damper on my time in the garage even with the heater on. Hopefully spring is right around the corner.

Hardesty454 · 03-01-2011, 05:20 PM

Lookin good. Love your Garage.

Slick67 · 03-02-2011, 12:21 AM
