Thanks, I've got alot of orangepeel in it, now I've got to learn how to cut and buff the clear to take that out. Then it'll look great.

Ron

ronh72c10 · 08-14-2011, 09:23 PM

Did some color sanding on the roof. Looks good if I say so myself.

Ron

VA72C10 · 08-14-2011, 09:38 PM

Nice! Looks great!

spudz · 08-22-2011, 02:44 AM

WOW this thing looks great!!!

ronh72c10 · 08-23-2011, 08:48 AM

Thanks Guys, still color sanding. Maybe done this weekend.

Ron

ronh72c10 · 09-24-2011, 08:26 PM

Hey guys, I haven't updated the thread in a while, I ended up repraying some of the base and then hitting it with another three coats of clear.

I've been color sanding the new coats of clear and have gotten some really good results this time around.

Ron

VA72C10 · 09-24-2011, 08:27 PM

That looks fantastic!!!

ronh72c10 · 10-01-2011, 11:49 PM

Ok I got the passenger door and fender color sanded and buffed, rolled it outside for a look. Tomorrow I'll do the hood and cowl and then that's it for the cut and buff.

Ron

VA72C10 · 10-02-2011, 12:06 AM

Looks great!

ronh72c10 · 10-03-2011, 07:58 PM

Thanks, a little more progress working on buffing the hood.

Ron

ronh72c10 · 10-06-2011, 10:02 PM

Ok so tonight I finished up buffing the hood and did as much as I can do on the cowl without mounting it. Next is a few bits and pieces and then assembly starts.

Ron

onebadbowtie · 10-06-2011, 10:39 PM

its looking good man! i can't wait to see it all come together

ronh72c10 · 10-07-2011, 09:28 AM

Thanks! I made my list of things left to paint and was surprised at how many little things are left:

- Steering Column - body color? or gloss black
- gauge cluster - body color
- glove box door - body color
- ash tray - body color
- undercoat floor
- undercoat fender wells
- tranny + damper - grey
- engine touchup - metallic green(supposed to be grey but turned out green)
- seat frame - satin black
- air cleaner - ?
- front bumper - gloss black
- grill brackets - satin black
- grill surround - gloss black
- headlight surround - gloss black?
- plastic grill - ? - may make a custom one
- flatbed - gloss black single stage (so it's easy to retouch)
- rear bumper - probably gloss black, but haven't even bought one

Out of that list I still have to weld up the flatbed and wire it.

Ron

cletis · 10-07-2011, 08:36 PM

Body looks awesome!!!!
I was just thinking to my self that 'I should send my body to this guy'. Turns out you're not that far away. Once again good job.

ronh72c10 · 10-09-2011, 10:23 AM

You'll have to wait a while, in line ahead of you:
- Finish this truck
- Fix up and sell on the 914 project
- Fix up and sell on the 72 C10 project
- 55 Stude
- Figure out what I can do with the 72 Burb, which has a messed up title
- and then the 53 White 3000 rollback project

There's a least a week or two lead time in all that.

Big-Blue · 10-09-2011, 02:15 PM

I just watched some of your vids on Youtube. Nice job with them as it took a lot of time putting those together I am sure.

Truck is looking great as well!

ronh72c10 · 10-09-2011, 08:12 PM

Thanks, got a little more work done, fitted the windshield in place, the weatherstrip isn't perfect though, little gaps in the upper corners of the window.

As well it looks like LMC's rear window gasket is too big, not sure if its an error or they all are too big.

Ron

ronh72c10 · 10-23-2011, 08:30 PM

I keep forgetting to post more pics, installed the engine and tranny. Painted the heater box and a few other bits and pieces.

Ron

VA72C10 · 10-23-2011, 08:55 PM

Looks good!!!

ronh72c10 · 10-29-2011, 11:04 PM

Thanks! Got a little more done, spent today aligning the doors and fenders.

Ron

vk_chevy · 11-05-2011, 11:23 PM

things are look real good, you're making some major progress.

ronh72c10 · 11-06-2011, 10:39 PM

Thanks, more progress today, yesterday was working on panel alignment, today I bedlinered the floor, firewall and back wall of the cab and did the bottoms of the inner fenders.

Ron

VA72C10 · 11-06-2011, 11:26 PM

Looking good.

fryer1979 · 11-09-2011, 08:41 AM

Very cool build. I wish you tube wasn't blocked here at work so I could watch your videos. Can't wait to see this one all done.

ronh72c10 · 11-09-2011, 12:59 PM

Thanks Guys, just trying to work thru the list of things left to paint before it gets too cold.
