*Randy70C-10* · 04-30-2003, 09:15 PM

Hey, I'm finally makin some noticable progress, and my project actually looks like a truck now. (and yes, I'm going to lower the rear)

**old Rusty C10** · 04-30-2003, 09:17 PM

Lookin good hey how did you manage to get out of sanding tonight ? thought Cathy was standing over ya with a whip LOL

*Randy70C-10* · 04-30-2003, 09:18 PM

Cathy (Randysgal) has been doing all of the block sanding on the bodywork.

*Randy70C-10* · 04-30-2003, 09:18 PM

I get the whip at night Bob.

Here's my new powerplant-ZZ3.

70c10 · 04-30-2003, 09:26 PM

Lookin' good Randy!. I see you have a 5 lug front end. Is it a kit or did you do a later model swap?

**Palf70Step** · 04-30-2003, 09:28 PM

Looks good randy....But your missing the cutout for your spare

All us good 70 steppers use them

Guess I'm going to have to work faster now to catch up with you.

*Randy70C-10* · 04-30-2003, 09:29 PM

5 lug front and rear. (I used to have a 72 Custom-10)

Palf- ya better work fast, Cathy's really fast with the sanding block!

Bill72BB · 04-30-2003, 09:33 PM

Randy ; That really coming along I'll send you a bigger whip maybe Cathy will work a little faster and you can have it running in a couple of weeks .
I know you can't wait to do a paint job on it.

GMC71k20 · 04-30-2003, 09:37 PM

Good! I was getting dizzy just looking at it that high

Bowed · 04-30-2003, 09:54 PM

Well , you can say the finish line is getting closer , and the good job you are doing is certainly showing. Good pictures .

*Randy70C-10* · 04-30-2003, 09:54 PM

Yeah, I was standing on the back of the frame and got a nose-bleed.

Thanks for the comments!

Pumkin Truck · 04-30-2003, 11:00 PM

looks good man,
so what are your plans for the paint? I'm kinda interested b/c of all of your awesome previous paint schemes.

*Shane* · 04-30-2003, 11:35 PM

dammit man ... that thing is gonna be on the road in NO TIME!

soooo .... drive it on down here to "God's Country" and help me with this old '70 ... there will be plenty of cold beer and we may even fire up the old grill!

Is Tom Green your neighbor?

basketcase · 05-01-2003, 03:51 AM

Lookin' good Randy. I just got my block back from the machine shop. That bodywork phase is getting closer.

Tom

kxmotox247 · 05-01-2003, 08:54 AM

Looking good! What color are you going to paint it?

72ChevyCheyenne · 05-01-2003, 09:02 AM

Looking good Randy.

**Yukon Jack** · 05-01-2003, 09:43 AM

Your gonna beat me - I should have mine back from getting rust repairs done by a buddy shortly, then I get to learn the finer points of sanding and painting. And to think last October it was just going to be a quick engine swap - boy did that change!

*RandysGal* · 05-01-2003, 10:53 AM

The colors are white and teal, not sure if flames or some other wide graphic scheme

. He has posted previously a pic of his bench seat and the colors are the same. I toke another pic of the seat last night maybe he'll post it again to update. I have even learned to mix body filler and am trying my hand at spreading it as well. I even was beating out dents yesterday, had to give Randy a break from the whip ya know

MandarinSixSeven · 05-01-2003, 11:12 AM

That looks sweet Randy!
I think this is the first time I've laid eyes on your truck...reminds me alot of mine when I first got it, like a newborn from the womb, all covered in primer and dust from sanding. Mine also had the huge jacked up rear LoL.
