Re: Walter DeWayne...Walt for short
 

I’m still working on Walter but the little stuff just isn’t picture worthy. I’ve decided to replace the inner & outer rockers, lower kick panels and the door bottoms and blend the paint on the outer rockers. I’ll shave the unused holes in the firewall and paint the interior and firewall. And finally, going to replace the core support because Walter’s is rotted under the old battery location.

I have faith in ya. It's gonna come out nice

I am an RN, so my free time to tinker has been absolutely destroyed by this current mess going on. But to prove he’s still here and waiting patiently ...

I did throw in one of the billet marker lights just for some eye candy and to be able to say I did something.

Thanks for your service and your skills. Keep up the good work on the humans. We need people like you. I enjoy your Falcon and Walter but your skills are needed . Thanks for what you do. Stay healthy buddy!

Anytime bud, you're doing awesome work. Great work at work and home. Keep it up.

Re: Walter DeWayne...Walt for short
 

Not much time to tinker, but I did fit one of the core support/grille filler panels just for motivation.

Re: Walter DeWayne...Walt for short
 

I like those filler panels & plan to use some as well.

Re: Walter DeWayne...Walt for short
 

Yeah, I’m glad to have ‘em. I’ll probably paint them black, silver/gray, or the 507 blue. Not sure which.

Re: Walter DeWayne...Walt for short
 

Matched to the core support & inner wheel tubs is what I'll do.... (Satin Black).

Re: Walter DeWayne...Walt for short
 

Who makes this smooth version? Do they require any trimming of the core support? I like the look

Re: Walter DeWayne...Walt for short
 

Agree.

Re: Walter DeWayne...Walt for short
 

I’ll be honest, I don’t remember where I got them...as I’ve had them 3 or 4 years :/. But I did have to trim the core support ‘rib’ slightly to fit them.

Re: Walter DeWayne...Walt for short
 

That’s the way I’m leaning too.

I just got a set from a guy here in Nor Cal. $169 with free shipping. He also does the ones with holes and triangular cutouts.

Mine came raw steel and require a small amount of trimming on the core support.

Awesome, thanks. Sorry for the hijack

Re: Walter DeWayne...Walt for short
 

^^^ No harm. I’m not being very diligent about working on Walter. Someone need to buy or trade me for him!!!???

Re: Walter DeWayne...Walt for short
 

I still haven’t done anything with Walter, but I did add a new Chevy to the toy barn.

Re: Walter DeWayne...Walt for short
 

Uh-oh. Looks like fun.

Re: Walter DeWayne...Walt for short
 

Nice toy! That will distract you from the truck I'm sure :)

Re: Walter DeWayne...Walt for short
 

I got everything sorta caught up and now Walter is the project now up and running. It’s now got to get up, running and functioning.

Re: Walter DeWayne...Walt for short
 

I'm sure Walter will like some attention. He's probably probably been a little jealous. :lol:
