And the Fun Begins!! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

srob67 · 06-16-2011, 02:54 PM

1967 CST LWB.
Body is now off and frame has been prepped and coated with Chassis Saver. Tubular Control Arms installed. Motor, 406, is complete and waiting to be installed when the trans, 700r4, gets done. Entropy Radiator w/ dual fan set up ready to go. CPP Grand Slam kit installed, 3 1/2 fr / 4 rr. Disc front / Drum rear brakes. C-notch installed. Gas tank is getting relocated to the rear. My son is working on the cab now. Replaced rockers, rear cab corners, and small piece of the left rear floor. One piece window kit is going in also. Wings had to go. I may be sorry about that one. More photos to come.
And this was supposed to be a quick project!

very nice man.. i like it.. you guys have done a nice job.. when you get a chance check mine out just bought my 67 and i love it..

srob67 · 06-30-2011, 10:28 AM

my photo uploads aren't working for some reason. Working on that.
In the process now of getting the crap off the bottom of the cab. Very time consuming. Firewall has been welded up. New wheels and tires are waiting to go on.

srob67 · 12-28-2011, 12:36 PM

Haven't posted in a while. Thought I would update the project.

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 12-28-2011, 12:49 PM

Thats a beautiful green what color is it?

srob67 · 12-29-2011, 10:23 AM

Thanks.
It's Synergy Green from the new Camaro. We used a base color first to make the paint really pop. I say we, it was my son who does all the body and paint work. It looks better in person.

srob67 · 01-07-2012, 08:15 PM

Made a little more progress today.
Motor and Tranny are in.
Cab is back on.

Looks pretty darn good from the pictures too!

Was the cab pretty rust free or did we miss out on a lot of fun??? (rust removal,,,,it's my favorite

)

srob67 · 01-07-2012, 09:16 PM

My son already replaced the rockers and cab corners. Cleaned and welded up the seam on the top backside of the cab. Shaved the gas filler hole. Need to finish up the inside and the rest of the cab. Then start on the bed. Still a lot to do.

srob67 · 03-08-2012, 09:36 PM

Inside cab is now painted. Still need to buff it out, but it looks awesome.

LakeAnna · 03-08-2012, 09:51 PM

Nice looking work! I like your color choice for sure.

Are you going to leave the top of your dash polished? Seems like you would get a lot of glare on the windshield. Look killer though!

Never really thought about that. I hope the black dash pad will help to cut down some.

LakeAnna · 03-08-2012, 10:18 PM

Here is a pic with hot rod satin on my dash. I know my fathers 72 gave him trouble we he had it gloss. Heck if it does throw a towel on it for the drive.
What kind of paint are you spraying?

srob67 · 03-08-2012, 10:26 PM

PPG ShopLine for the first base color and DBC 2000 for the second color and then ShopLine Medium Temp Clear.

*low&slow* · 03-10-2012, 04:55 AM

I'm in on this. I can't wait till I can paint my truck the same green. I've been in love with that green ever since I first found it trying to find a certain green I like. Boy does that sure look purty.

srob67 · 04-20-2012, 06:54 PM

A few more pics of the progress.

srob67 · 04-20-2012, 07:13 PM

A few more.

Spaz · 04-20-2012, 07:33 PM

If you look at a factory-paint truck you will notice that the paint on that part of the dash is satin. Something to think about.

srob67 · 04-22-2012, 03:17 PM

I'm going to wait and see when its all back together. I think it will be ok.

Tinkermc · 04-22-2012, 07:51 PM

the color is great,

i don't know what I would do about the dash but I'm leaning toward green, good job

srob67 · 05-10-2012, 04:25 PM

My son painted the inner fenders, glovebox door and battery tray today. The glovebox door is cleared now also.
I'm working on the wiring and fuel line. Soon she will have life again.

Tinkermc · 05-10-2012, 09:55 PM
