Corey's Stepside Chevy

I've done all the block sanding that I'm going to do on the cab. May need some more but it's good enough. I sprayed it with a good fresh coat of primer and it's ready for some wet sanding in the next couple day.

We went to Olive Hill Sunday for a Carter County Cruisers Car Show. Thanks to Heith we came back with 4 15X8 rallyies for the truck. We had to dismantel some of Amy's Toyoto to get them in. I'm not kidding...

The kids had a tight ride home. 2 1/2 hour drive with no room had them a little on the grouchy side but we made it..

Corey with the wet/dry sand paper getting everything smooth.

more sanding

and more sanding

It was funny watching his face when he would get done and I'd hand him the next grit sand paper.

We were going to shoot it with white but after digging through my paint I found out that I had almost a gal/ of red. Red it will be.



next comes the body work on the doors.

Looks good corey nice work even if it is a chevy keep on pluggen at it it be done before you know it.!!! I love to see a young man doing stuff like this it keeps them out of trouble and they learn a trade to fall back on. Good job

Thats a bright red. Reminds me out the time I painted a 66 Chevy truck International Harvester Red. Did it in the yard though and it didn't look that slick.

that thing sure has made a turn for the better and it looks great.

you have made so much progress that it makes me want to work on my 73

Wow Corey! It is looking really good. Can't wait to see the finished project.

Yesterday Corey cleaned on the truck and polished a few things. Stuff like the wiper arms ect. He put his cowl rubber back on and his wipers. Ripped the last thing off the truck and sanded it down to get it ready for paint, the bumper filler.
We didn't get much done today. Spent most of the day running around getting parts. We went and bought another fender for the other side, set of fender running lights, plastic filler, primer, reducer, sand paper and more. I started working on the worse door. I think I have the mud work done. It had a few bad warps in a few spots down low. I spooned most of the warps out and used a thin coat of mud to cover it. I have the car show meeting in the morning but hope to get back earlier than normal and get the fenders and one door in primer and blocked down.

(Just a note) I've been having problems with plastic fillers. I've been changing brands for the last few months. I can get the metal pretty close. Close enough that a thin layer of mud will work. Most of the fillers I've been using won't lay down a super thin layer. I have to put a thicker coat of what I need then sand most of it off. It will pull up or have pin hole from the thickness of the filler. I was reading through HAMB and a few guys were bragging on the Evercoat plastic filler. BINGO!! wow. This stuff works great. You can lay a very thin layer of this stuff and it won't dry untill you worked it out where you want it. Very good stuff..Give it a try...

Below is a pic of the right fender and door being painted. We got the rear window in and right door and fender hung. We still need to paint the right door and fender. Time is running out for a Sunday showing..

I'm in the middle of painting the other fender and door. I haver a few minutes between flash coats so I figured I'd post some stuff. Also shot the underside of the new hood Corey and I went to get today.
