Project Update

Maybe you guys will be appreciate this. It's my first build and it's coming along.

smooth work.

YEah it's a lot of sanding. A Whole lot of sanding

It's lookin nice and smooth VR13.

Good work on the cab. What are your plans for the build?

looks real good so far. One question. Did that bodyline go all the way around the cab before? If so, why shave part of it? If not, forget I said anything.

Either way I can't wait to see what you come up with. And sanding sucks, I hate it.

Looks good. You are doing my very alltime most hated least favorite job........body work. Did I mention, I hate bodywork? Guess that is why I build hot rods with small bodies instead of big old '50's customs.

What are your plans for the rest of the truck?

Hey guys,

No unfortunately the body line didn't extend the full way around the truck. Since it's half car, it never extended past where it is now. I tried to fade it into the body so it looked ok. But a missing body line is a missing bodyline. hahahha

I attached a pic of what I want it to look like. Quick photoshop work.

Here is the latest update.

I waited for a long time, but I finally managed to locate some JD Blitz black. All I can say is wow. Some good stuff. So far the bed, doors, cab, front fenders, cowl, and fender extensions are painted. I'm off tot he junkyard this weekend to see if I can locate some friggin fenders for the rear. Probably not, but I love just being in this yard. Old tin everywhere, and one old man with a torch helping me out.

Looks nice and smooth VR13.

Turned out nicer than I could have imagined. I have a deadline of End of may to have this thing on the road. I do believe I can get it done before hand.

Here are some from last night

This is going to look nice. I can't wait to see it all bolted together. Great Job!
