hopefully you can get the next one done by 5 tongiht so you can coast a bit for the weekend, It is friday!! keep it up, like to see it on the road again soon.

Oh its done, lol. Shortly after noon.





She's rock solid now, I am done with the metal work now.

Slap some paint on and call it good, right?

Nice, I envy your ability to take on multiple projects and get them done.

I'm thinking about taking on a can of Coors light and see if I can't finish that as well.

What kind of seam sealer do you use?

Lips! Oh you meant the truck, not the Coors can. Sorry.

Every time I see this thread I get this song going in my head, Thanks Dave!

I'm using what I have on hand which is dominion sure seal joint and seam sealer.

The bed will get epoxy and I believe I will do a spray in bed liner for the kid.

For the wheel house to quarter seam I want to brush a por 15 type product in heavily from the top, let it run into the seam where water and dirt will be trying to go.

Get off of your phone/I-pad/computer and get that boy's truck done. We want more pics! I'll take care of the Coors for you. Got it covered.

Don't make me come over there and drink them for you.....

As a guy who used to specialize in high risk auto insurance, waayy back in the 80's

I will not ruin your joy by telling you the one thing that boy's of that age are REALLY good at, is wrecking vehicles

Nope, you wont hear it from me.....

That truck is looking terrific! But if it were my son, he would be getting a 200ci straight six, one barrel carb, and three on the tree transmission! And a full roll cage with side or door bars. Maybe a Tonnueu cover that would keep other teenagers out of the bed of the truck, too.

In all seriousness, that is one for him and his heirs to be very proud of.

Its my phone, I got the wi-fi's in the shop now.

Shirley, you can get beer there!

I can, its right out the back door in a paper box.



I'm just not sure if its time yet.




And don't call me Shirley.

Good God, man! it ain't even lawn moaner season!

'49 Ford in the background?

How the hell did you see that behind all the mustang junk?

51 actually.

Maybe you meant the minty green one. (Surf green actually)

Fiddy fore shevee.

Similar look to the '54 Ford my Dad had.

Vintage!

12oz cans????? I thought you were a "pounder" guy.

You know, so there are leftovers for the next day.

I might have to tip back a few High Life's this evening.

Its all I had around.

They are kind of like those little Halloween candy bars, have to have like 5 of them to equal 1 regular candy bar.

If you can get all the way through a can of that you're a tougher man than I am.

some refurbed grill inserts.

These are sweet, I cleaned them up, fixhed nicks and dings, primed, shot a silver metallic base, then black in the headlight side, then 2 coats of matte clear (urethane)





tailgate is coming along.




back bumper also got epoxy, silver metallic base, matte clear.



Putting on new trim studs since the new bedsides don't have any.
