Looks great til you get to the roof.....damn..........
I dragged my breathing air hose across my wet quarter panel. I feel your pain.

Set backs stink, but it’s looking really good

Definitely an uncalled for set back

Plan A is to tape the affected section off, sand it back and respray/ blend. If the blending fails then Plan B will be to sand the roof down to the beltline and redo the entire roof.

Puts a crimp in my plans to put the engine /trans back in this weekend...oh well

Plan B it is

Damn........

Nice project!

Here is another header idea for you if the Tri-five Fenderwell style turns out to just be too outlandish, or just sticks out the side of the truck too far for your taste....Schoenfeld Truck BBC Fenderwell style, originally meant for the 68-72 and 73-87 style Chevy truck but may be a nice fit for you... they won't stick out over the side so far, more symmetrical looking too.

Got a break in the weather so it's time for the second attempt at painting this thing

 

[123pugsy]

Wow, what, no peel? Looks very flat.

 

[65type1]

Paint turned out flat but the clear has a couple of runs to sand out.... roof turned out much better this time 😁

Couple more pics

took the afternoon off of work and got a fair bit done today.
Warning... it's going to be a bit of a photo bomb since I'm thinking the truck is turning out to be a pretty cool piece

Good stuff.

 

[95 Truck]

Looking good

Nice.

So not much progress.... got the truck moved into the front garage, followed by some color sanding on the cab... then mounted the rad shell and trial fit the fenders. Looks like I might have a fitment issue with the headers..

 

[65type1]

Minor update...more color sanding done on the cab and trial fit the headers with the fenders on. Going to have to slightly clearance the inner fender lip.

 

[65type1]

Got the other header on, moroso tranny dipstick installed, water pump pulley and mounted the headlight brackets/buckets. So the process continues...temporarily bolt stuff together and then blow it apart to make it fit

 

[65type1]

Got the new H4 headlights and the dash in... of course the new km/h glass for the instrument cluster cracked on me... sigh. back to the faded but original mph glass. Headlight rings are currently chrome and need to be redone, so contemplating painting the rings black.
