Not a 100%. I just stopped thinking about wheels for now.

 

it's getting close. keep up the momentum.

 

Monday Morning I finished buffing the frame out.


This Morning this is what it looks like

 

Here is the first blocking with the old DP90 that was on the cab.






Then I sealed it back up with SPI Epoxy. I'm using only epoxy and slick sand in a few small areas to finish it out.



Today we started another blocking session and will finish that up tomorrow. Also got the filler work done on the firewall.



At the end of the day I shot 2 coats of slick sand on the firewall and on the roof.




Another 10 hour day of sanding tomorrow

 

and the father in law still has no clue?

 

I was about to make another post.... This should answer your question.

Ashley's Mom broke out the camera and took a few shots of us over the last couple of days.

One thing that has changed is Ashley's Father is now involved in helping us getting it all painted. He is now retired and did only full restorations and is a very very talented painter. He was kind enough to pass along his knowledge to me over the last 8 years. I'm very excited to have his guidance with painting this truck and he also gets to help finish it out the way he always wanted to.



"Men at work"



This is probably one of my favorite shots of the entire build.

 

I see you put on war paint before working on your projects lol. While i was building the s10 i HATED the textured floors on my shower. After a few showers on wrenching days i would have to scrub it for 30 min to get it back white.

 

A bit of an update. I just got home from shooting basecoat on the cab and grille. Tomorrow morning I will go to the booth early and get the clear coat sprayed.

Here is where we left off.

Blocked the cab AGAIN!


\

Then another 2 coats of SPI epoxy.



Followed up by another blocking.





Then off to the booth we went



2 coats of reduced gray SPI expoxy




Guess what??? A bit more blocking



Then sealed her up with a reduced coat of SPI black epoxy and after 2 hours of flash off I shot 3 coats of Spies Hecker FP2002 Blue/Black Base.




IF everything goes as planned I will be bringing it home Monday. Sunday I will start on the doors and hopefully have them ready to go to the booth on Thursday of next week.

 

you planning to enter this truck into any shows?

 

Probably not any big stuff. Just little local gatherings.
