subscribed....man Les...you guys have a lot of progress in such a little bit of time...looking forward to seeing you guys get it done in less than 3 weeks.....then onto the burb or 69 swb!!!

softballnrd27 · 02-03-2010, 12:00 PM

What are you planning for taillights? I am curious bc I like the shaved look.

Rollinsqrbdy · 02-03-2010, 03:24 PM

wow you are quick bud. Its coming out nicely

Chevy623 · 02-03-2010, 11:36 PM

Awesome work! I like the shaved tailights.

lclippard · 02-04-2010, 01:12 PM

thanks, guys, for the compliments. when i start on a project i like to have most of my parts collected, so i can roll on without interuptions. its coming together nicely, i have more pics to post, as soon as i have time. im planning on frenching some LED taillights into the rear bumper, and we have a 81-82 front bumper with the turn sinals in it. and like gcburdic says, on to the 69 burb, 69 swb, and 65 comet (all 3 of those are mine, lol)

lclippard · 02-04-2010, 09:51 PM

i know its been a bit since an update. we have gotten all the body work done. now for prime and block, repeat, repeat, and then paint.

69face · 02-04-2010, 11:10 PM

Looking good! i wish i had a helper!

lclippard · 02-05-2010, 02:50 PM

front bumper sanded

dropd80s · 02-05-2010, 05:44 PM

Looks nice and your new dash pad looks to be in good shape, but you know it wont fit in the 85 right?

tylerg. · 02-05-2010, 06:50 PM

let us know if you find out what kind of wheels those are

why not?

lclippard · 02-11-2010, 12:05 AM

ok so here are some progress pics. work on the truck slowed down a bit because i got sick over the weekend, and im just trying to get better. we got the spots blocked, and then primered the entire truck. chad has started blocking the truck, and ive been busy with other things. got some more parts ordered that should be in tomorrow, yay!

lclippard · 02-11-2010, 12:06 AM

lclippard · 02-11-2010, 12:09 AM

im gonna take pics of the parts tomorrow, and post them. i dont know about you guys, but i think it looks pretty good in primer.

RussAwana · 02-11-2010, 12:38 AM

Nice progress on your truck man! I'm about 3/4 way through my 86' stepside build and have been at it steady for about 3 months now. Looking at your pics kinda looks like working on my truck. I just got the wood for the bed cut, drilled, sanded, and stained today. Good luck on your project!

**N2TRUX** · 02-11-2010, 10:03 AM

Wow! This is moving along great. I love the progress so far. You mentioned that your looking for a flatter sheen than the first try. From the pics, I thought you had it nailed.

Keep in mind, the flatter the sheen, the easier it gets stains on it.

The metal portion under the dash pad on 73-80s has the rear edge angled or rolled instead of a more 90* angle on the 81-87s. And I think you can put a newer pad on an older dash, but not the other way around. I could be wrong though.
73-80:

81-87:

lclippard · 02-20-2010, 09:14 PM

so chad changed his mind on the paint color again.....now we are going with a pewter color. we are actually spraying paint right now, just thought i would post in between coats. im taking video and pics of the process that i will post up later tonite if i can. the color choice looks really good. i think you guys will like it.

lclippard · 02-21-2010, 12:34 AM

draggin86 · 02-21-2010, 12:56 AM
