great color! I had a 62 galaxie that was just a little darker, we called it "60s christmas ornament green" haha

Re: Brother's keeper - '58 Stepside build
 

I've always admired that color on your truck...nice work

Duplicate post?

Re: Brother's keeper - '58 Stepside build
 

Back on the ground, I actually DROVE the '58 out of the garage and gave it a quick bath. I also got the doors adjusted so the gaps are right and both sides open and close with ease.


I also changed the sway bar links, using a set for a '70 Charger which were 1.5" longer. I think lowering the front suspension messed up the geometry of the stock Nova links, causing them to tip back. Now they sit straight up and down.

Working on a front brake upgrade today. Stop Tech drilled and slotted rotors. Baer pads, Timken seals and bearings, all new hardware. I removed the dust shields for better air flow...

Good progress....nice new parts are always good.

Re: Brother's keeper - '58 Stepside build
 

Off to paint this morning

Re: Brother's keeper - '58 Stepside build
 

While the truck is at the painter's, the garage is getting a beauty makeover. Drywall was in but it needed to be mudded and taped. After the mud I gave the walls a coat of primer and a 2 tome paint job. Tomorrow the Racedeck flooring goes in...

Re: Brother's keeper - '58 Stepside build
 

Other than a few minor details the garage is done, still waiting for the '58 to come back from paint...

Re: Brother's keeper - '58 Stepside build
 

WOW, that's all I got to say...Jim

Re: Brother's keeper - '58 Stepside build
 

Yah...Thats really nice......

Re: Brother's keeper - '58 Stepside build
 

Visited the painter tonight to go over a few things and give him some money for materials. The bed parts are in sealer and everything else has been final sanded. Color will be going on in the next couple of days, I can hardly wait...

Re: Brother's keeper - '58 Stepside build
 

I'm getting goose bumps waiting on your paint. That Garage Is OUT OF SIGHT!

Re: Brother's keeper - '58 Stepside build
 

Thanks

He's going to send pictures once there is some paint on it, I'll be sure to post 'em up...

Re: Brother's keeper - '58 Stepside build
 

Hey Mark, are you painting it with the cab on/engine in and doors hung? Looking good!

Jim

Re: Brother's keeper - '58 Stepside build
 

Just as it sits in the picture, the door and cab jambs are painted already. I painted the firewall before putting the cab on so masking shouldn’t be too difficult

Getting some color...
