I have been away from the page for a while and was wondering how your project was coming along. Looking great. You might have this baby on the road by the time you hit 100 pages. Keep up the great work

So.. to recap. I got a frame from a guy for 100. Total mess. Cut the horns off and made a new frame. Used dimensions from old frame. S10 rear axle for 100. All the model A sheet metal was 400. The engine and trans were free from donor car. Cant remember how much the metal and wood were. But...

Here she is out on the road going to the new owner. Headed to Fullerton, CA

I guess i dropped the ball and didn't show the finish

The dash is from a 30 Chevy. I bought it from a guy about 20 years ago. I always thought it looked cool. It red primer and real rust. Sanded with 400 and clear coated. This next week I will get everything hooked up and working. I built a battery tray out of L metal. It is under the cowl behind...

Thank you all for the kind words, and for watching my build. It has been a long process but I am trying to be finished by September 15th 2019.

Got the gas tank finished. New in tank pump. New lines. About 85 pounds. Installed a regulator that sends fuel back to the tank. The regulator is showing about 5 pounds to the holley carb. Started it up no leaks, ran great. Next time I will start it in park. Haha. Finally finished the bed wood...

Got some door work done

Got the other rear fender, body worked and painted. Finished varnishing all the doors and panels. I still need to make a tailgate

Got the ten coats done on the back panels. Body worked and painted the frame covers, grill shell, and one fender painted. The paint I am using is urethane industrial paint. It's cheap and gets very hard. I just have 4 doors to varnish and 3 fenders to paint. I can hardly wait to drive this thing

Third coat on the front side. This by the way is birch with no stain. Just how the tree colored it.

Well its Friday. Just put the third coat on the inside of the two rear quarters. It takes about seven coats on the inside and ten on the outside. So long way to go. I have a lot to do before these can be installed. Fuel lines, rear electrical, brake. I could install after but it's easier before...

B..U..T...FULL...work docrock !!!! Just wondering ... why you use varnish rather than urethane? Mostly because the guy who taught me use epifanes spar varnish and his work always came out great, so....i didnt want to risk it after all that work

Varnish on the underside is done. Got it up on the gantry waiting for side pcs to varish

here are a few more

I was going through my posts and forgot a few pics

The filler would be terrible. I modified it. It will have filler in back

When you varnish a woodie it is a long process. Today is the 5th of 10 coats on the inside roof. I know this is a rust page but it is also a building a car or truck of your own creation. Thank you all for watching and posting.

I forgot to post the varnish on the bottom and I painted the cowl. Also got a guy to make me a windshield

Built a frame around an s10 tank. Not a bad fit
