66dc75 Posted October 26, 2017 Author Share Posted October 26, 2017 Not too much progress but I got the welding and grinding done on the fender extension, made a wood template / work mount and layed the first coat of filler. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/44611-had-some-spare-parts/page/8/#findComment-383533 Share on other sites More sharing options...

66dc75 Posted January 20, 2018 Author Share Posted January 20, 2018 Extremely miniscule progress today, figured out the rear fender location. It's been way too cold in the shop to work on this thing. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/44611-had-some-spare-parts/page/8/#findComment-390072 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post 66dc75 Posted March 26, 2018 Author Popular Post Share Posted March 26, 2018 Had a chance to work on the pick up for the first time since about October. Pick up body panels prepped, primed and almost all painted, Need to do rear panel over, I was in the process of wiping it down, got distracted (oh, look a squirrel!), forgot to wipe it down and sprayed over a bunch of lumpy stuff. I still need to do one side of 2 large panels anyway. Welded up a license plate frame from some aluminum u channel which will hold recessed leds. Should have the shell all together this wee then on to the fenders and tailgate. Felt good to get something done on it. 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/44611-had-some-spare-parts/page/8/#findComment-395245 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post 66dc75 Posted April 16, 2018 Author Popular Post Share Posted April 16, 2018 A little more forward progress, got the second fender almost done, and got a couple of antique timbers (donated by Red Horse) to the sawmill and had them made into boards for the bed. Replica 37 ford tail lights came today, need to make brackets up for them. 4 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/44611-had-some-spare-parts/page/8/#findComment-396847 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post 66dc75 Posted April 27, 2018 Author Popular Post Share Posted April 27, 2018 So got the fenders painted, no matter how much sanding and staring and priming and sanding, I never can see how bad of a job I did until there is paint laid on. After first coat found a whole lot of tiny craters that needed attention, so took care of that, sanded them down and painted again.It was probably the nicest weather since last fall; and the overhead door was open. Sprayed on a wet coat and said to myself I should shut the door, too late big gust of wind and I had a popcorn finish. Dad always said, if it's worth doing then it's worth doing 3 times. Also was able to gut up some scrap tube and channel for tail light brackets and got to work on the 3rd brake light. 4 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/44611-had-some-spare-parts/page/8/#findComment-397687 Share on other sites More sharing options...
