Re: 72 Not sure what to call it yet resto!
Hector, thanks for the pics they are helpful getting some ideas. On the doors I had thought that the window post the entire thing should be white?? We painted the cab and the bed yesterday!! Got a couple runs thankfully only in the white. We only had 18" paper so had to cut all of it masking the white on the bed... that sucked. I had no idea how much time it would envolve doing the tape but it turned out great. Of course the cam battery died so I have to get some pics later.

Re: 72 Not sure what to call it yet resto!
Thanks Keith I really like the color a lot man. I knew I wanted a blue and going with the 510 & white is perfect for what i'm looking for.
Still have to paint the doors and the tailgate this week along with lots of little detail parts. Still trying to find a tilt column to go in it??? Anybody got one? |

Re: 72 Not sure what to call it yet resto!
Wow Chris! this is a super fast project. I have to ask, is it your full time job?....Kidding, you must have put some long hours in on your off time. I'm amazed how fast you went from rust repair to paint. I have spent a solid 2 months on my cab. Just shows how slow I am. You paint looks great, more pictures.

Re: 72 Not sure what to call it yet resto!
Well everything is coming along great on the paint!!! Hurray! Here are a few pics. The clear buffed up great. We cut it with 1500 dry on the da did some light hand work in the tough to reach areas and curves. Followed that with 2000 wet dry in some areas and all of it was run over with trizact 3000. The trizact brings the shine up big time. Buffed with Finese II 1,2, and 3 the ultra fine polish.
Does anyone have some pics of where the cab dust shield mounts? I've got four smaller pieces that I cannot figure out??? When I pulled the cab the original stuff was broken and had pieces missing so not really sure on the install... In the pic thats what I have now. But I still have the four pieces left over??? |
