It's all in the way projects go, would you rather be sanding body panels again

THAT"S why they call them projects

MERRY CHRISTMAS to you and yours

Build looks really good Big J, keep up the good work and posts. I'm learning a lot =)

Dudewith4x4 · 01-07-2011, 12:38 AM

Awesome build.

I got the same valve covers. they look sweet.

Big J · 01-31-2011, 10:28 PM

Update...

I can not find the time to finish the bodywork so I'm in the process of finding a shop that I trust to finish it. I could wait till things slow down but I WANNA BE DRIVING IT THIS SUMMER

I am makin a set of steps out of 2x3 and 2x4 steel tube. Pics to come when I make some progress.....

Chevyman63 · 02-01-2011, 10:07 AM

Good to hear Big J!! Looking forward to seeing it done!!

jaros44sr · 02-01-2011, 02:27 PM

attaway J, what ever it takes...anazing how these projects get closer to finish and take longer to complete

kmdracer · 02-01-2011, 10:29 PM

Got a couple in mind. Shouldn't be too big a deal, just needs a couple little dings fixed, wet sanded and shot.

Big J · 03-01-2011, 11:23 AM

Hauled it to the wonderful place where the paint work will be completed last night! I'm stoked!

Shouldn't be too long and I will have it back in my shop for final assembly. It will need more than a couple dings fixed, lol. There are ripples, waves, and what not, lol. Looks great in the pics but when in the light...... So its going to be done right.

Chevyman63 · 03-01-2011, 11:29 AM

Very cool to see progress J!!

VA72C10 · 03-01-2011, 11:30 AM

Looks good already but going to look even better!!!!

Big J · 03-02-2011, 12:54 AM

The plan is to use single stage as a base then a few coats of clear to make the paint look a foot deep.

Big J · 03-08-2011, 11:14 PM

Progress! Three steps forward and 4 steps back, lol. Seems like a waste to sand away all that I've done but oh well, it'll look sick when its complete.

VA72C10 · 03-09-2011, 12:01 AM

Looking good!!!!

madkmart · 03-09-2011, 01:21 AM

all i have to say is wow awesome build

Bentblazer · 03-09-2011, 09:16 AM

Looks good J, would love to see it when finished. I've heard that single stage with several coats of clear looks pretty good.
