Re: 1965 chevy truck one piece @a time

Yes, great color.
And you widening those rear fenders really turned out good.
They line up better with the width of the cab.
I'm glad to see you posting again. I was a follower of your build.

Re: 1965 chevy truck one piece @a time

Agree with everyone so far, that is a beautiful color and also not one that you see too often. If you don't mind me asking is it a stock color for another vehicle or a custom 1 off?

Don't feel bad about a long build, it's depressing to say this myself but my truck has been sitting for years now . I started with the plan to collect all the major pieces before starting my build and ended up getting a good bit of them, then had knee surgery.... and then back surgery...and another back surgery...oh and another back surgery (I'm going to have my own orchestra if I keep this up)

I don't want to turn into one of those "I'm going to fix it up someday" people with it like rotting away but it keeps getting pushed back...and back...

little wood working added the polyurathane to the top of the wood
waiting for it to dry coat and then flip it over and do the underside.
finish up the wood while the truck at paint for touch ups and final color sand and buffing
the top two pics are after the first coat
and the second three are after the 3rd coat of polyurathane
