Re: 72 Cheyenne Super First Project

Thanks guys. I'm picking my seat from the upholstery shop next week and hopefully getting my fenders, tailgate, hood, doors, and cowl to the painter so he can paint the jambs and we can bolt this thing together. That's about it for the update, impatiently waiting

Re: 72 Cheyenne Super First Project

Thanks guys. Yea Cheby, it's the chrome outer. The bowtie that I got was kinda beat up but the chrome is solid so I'm thinking a carbon fiber insert?? Any other ideas? My dad said brushed aluminum.

Thanks Cheby. I had a really good job lined out for the summer and it was looking like I could've had this thing done by the time I go back to school but I broke my wrist and I have to wear a cast for 8-10 weeks so that kinda put a damper on my situation. I'll still do my best to keep plugging away at this thing, keep posted

You're tellin me. Oh well, s&!t happens. I think that I can still have the body jammed and assembled, most assembly, and have it rolling by August. Close, just not finished.

Thanks Cheby and VA

I have a bunch of parts getting nickle plated right now, other then that I'm kinda at a stand still. The remainder of the body parts are getting jammed so I can assemble everything fairly soon. I'm guessing that'll be done around the end of next month. I know, slow. But remember I'm still in this cast and it takes money to make progress. I'll have more pictures posted once the parts show up from the nickel plater.
