[1972BackInBlackC10]

iv thought about it but my truck isnt anything special and my work isnt the greatest due to my disability, i like to just wtch from the sidelines haha

[chevy88]

Here is some pictures to look at....Also body shop hasn't called as I had it booked for April 1st, oh well I took on some more body work for the time being.
3m seam sealer on the roof gutter

Some shots of the hood with all the dings/dents filled, ready now to prime and block sand plus I still I have the cab/box to bondo and smooth off

Here is what I use to escape this project from time to time

That hood is not original to truck, but I think the yellow must have been the primer and orange base color. How far along is your truck?

[1972BackInBlackC10]

that very well could have been with the colors, well for now i have the cab, box, and hood primed, i got my engine built last summer but never got it back in the truck or on the road due to all the flooding etc it effected where i was living and my job i had to move my truck 3-4 times in case the water got too high

still have a fair ammount work, alot of it was the po mistakes or lack of knowledge etc you know the usual po horror stories lol

[1972BackInBlackC10]

im thinking about possibly starting a build thread like you suggested. how do you put sentences inbetween pics you post?

[chevy88]

Type inbetween the images that you copy.

[1972BackInBlackC10]

ok thanks, just need to come up with a name for the thread

[1972BackInBlackC10]

well heres the link to my build thread, its nothing special and i probably paid to much for the truck, but more pics to come tomorrow after work

Hey thanks for the interest. Sorry no progress to report, still doing body work in my spare time and its going slowly. Front end and cab is done, the doors are still left then just the sides of the box.

[chevy88]

I finally have an update on my build, I am basically still stuck sanding and getting truck ready for paint. But I did manage to paint and dye my seat belts. added duplicolor bed armour to my old beat up box to hide imperfections it's a little dusty from sanding the sides of my box. Couple more applications and the should be ready for expoxy primer.

[sduckworth13]

You did nice work on the bed, thats alot of work.

[chevy88]

Thanks bed armour goes on easy with roller and you can reapply a coat at anytime if you want it thicker. This is also UV resistant.

[chevy88]

This is a picture of second coat all sanded down but and lower panel needs still needs more sanding. So if so do I still need third coat of bondo on any low spots or should I start using putty for rest, as far as I have read putty is just for scratches and air pockets?

[chevy88]

This spot is ready for high fill primer
