67 Project Update 6/1/2023 (Multiple New Posts With Pictures)

[JWW]

Thanks for the positive feedback guys.

How quickly is the shipping from BOTP? I've never ordered from them before, just wondering...

If I remember correctly, I received my floor pans and cab mounts within a week.

[JWW]

Well, I received some an exciting picture this evening. My cab mounts and cab support pieces are installed.



Also, I will be picking up a freshly sandblasted frame tomorrow. I will post some before and after pictures of that.

Looks Great - I am at the same point ...

What are your plans for the cab corners - you can get the outer ones but not the inner ones and they are not flat so not so easy to make up yourself with out a beader ?

Thanks!

I have the cab corners. They go on next. A friend is doing the welding work. He does a heck of a job.

i'm assuming you have the outer corners - but what about the inner corners - they are two different parts and you can't buy inner corners ? - the corners are a sandwich - outer and inner

I agree about the inner cab corner pieces. May look at fabricating something.

Great job. It is good to see these projects coming back around.

Thanks TC. I'm sticking with it, just have to save a little $$ at a time so that I can work on her.

My plan today is to apply "Chassis Saver" to my freshly sand blasted frame. Will post pics after completion.

[JWW]

Well, I finally got my frame painted. I did three coats of the Chassis Saver. Then I applied two coats of low gloss paint from Tractory Supply. Here is the top coat I used:



Here is a pic of the sandblasted frame:



Here is a pic of the finished frame:

Thanks. Actually I went ahead and topcoated the chassis saver. I didn't want the black to become dull. As far as wearing the chassis saver, boy it takes a while to get it off. Thank goodness I only got a little on my arm and elbow.

Looks great man, Keep up the good work. If you still have the engine stands from the 75 frame you might be able to sell them, they looked like they were small block stands
