[Gastrick]

what are the specs going to be?

Good start.

 

[Willie G]

Im goin to fix the metal on the cab i dont think im gonna chop it but slightly modify it smooth the front end seams. Got a small block waitin to run with a straight shift trans, drop it down some and a wood flat bed and gray primer i love how it looks

 

[Willie G]

Well got the doors off the motor and trans pulled now im working on patchin the hood

frontend looks kinda like the 47 my father in law has in my shed. Runs a flatty and was a daily driver for 38 years. Keep at it!

 

[Willie G]

Well i got the hood patched up and ready to sandblast before i do the finish up work on it now im startin on the front clip. The major dents are close to bein smoothed out but theres a lot of rust at the bottom all the way around and i had to cut the grille bars out cause they were mangled up.

You got a good start on your truck, Your sbc looks strong with the double bump heads, what elae is done to it? I take it your running hood and fenders, I like the stock look as well. Keep on hammering and have fun......

 

[Willie G]

Lots done to the motor but i got to try and get the metal work done on the truck. Tryin to figure out the best way to clean the frame i got and i cant really afford to sand blast it right now any one got any ideas.

 

[international rat]

I've used a wire wheel/cup on a angle grinder to clean frames before, works when your on a budget!

 

[olcarguy]

A wire rope cup work well and so does the wire rope wheel. The narrowness of the wheel allows access to the tight areas. So does good old naval jelly, its slow but it does work.

 

[Willie G]

Ive got a couple of those wire brushes. Has anyone tried the purple power rust converter??? I was wondering if it worked or not.
