a few pics from the Preacher's shop

[hotrod preacher]

trying to get back into the swing of hanging out here again, has been a really busy year, working in the shop "full time" and enjoying the type of stuff I am working on, so I am going to attempt a few of a project, see if anyone looks & post more pics of different projects according to interest

this is a 1964 chevy that I repainted inside and out- I didn't get a lot of pics -but there was extensive work, including stripping all the exterior to bare metal and the rockers and floor pans needed attention as well... a new wooden floor in the bed and new seals/weatherstripping in all the glass...

easier to paint a car that post a pic of said car...

[hotrod preacher]

thanks guys, I always appreciate the comments! will try to get a few more on here today, I have 4-5 "projects" to display, some completed and some that I wish were!

 

[hotrod preacher]

trying to post a few of another completed project- the before & after all together

a cj-7 with a nice little lift, 33" tires and a ford "roller motor" 302 with a healthy cam (E-303 I think) windsor heads and performer rpm intake...

 

[Sam_Fear]

Glad to have ya back around Preacher! The Chevy looks slick.

 

[moonshiner]

Nice looking job on the '64. Looks great in red!

 

[hotrod preacher]

I might need to include a few of the finished product

I have more projects to show, after all, this is what i'm doing now pretty much "full time" (divorced preachers are not in high demand around here )

 

[falconvan]

Nice work!

 

[Neverdone]

Well the ol' CheBBY is my favorite..... Followed by the skylark. The jeep is cool but if It were mine I know it wouldn't look like that for long....

 

[hotrod preacher]

thanks for the comments, the 64 truck was the most radical transformation I have done in quite some time-from a "plain jane" to a bright red beauty

here is a Model A I did some work on, for your viewing pleasure
a 30 model tudor sitting on a 70's corvette frame & power train...

a station wagon roof was already on it, but not done well IMO, so we redid it MY way

also put new door skins on it, and wrapped it up in some 2k primer, the owner is currently replenishing funds to go to the next step

 

[hotrod preacher]

gnna ake you drool...

...then break your heart

here is a current project-a 1946 chevy big truck ... a perfect "barn find," I have been commissioned by "oldskool" to do the paint and body work, this belongs to one of his customers... a complete frame up, full restoration is underway...

check out the door art[dr

found a 1946 penny inside the cab while cleaning it out--definitely going to be displayed inside it somewhere

yes, a complete frame up, I know, I too would have loved to "ratted" it, for Arkansas it had sweet patina...lol but it does make a paycheck! more progress pics on it later -- if there is interest

 

[Dirtyrat]

Looking good, yes its a shame they wanted to restore that perfectly patina'd truck!!!
