Captain Spaulding Posted May 11, 2021 Posted May 11, 2021 After taking a break for a few weeks, decided to get started on my next project. Now building Amt's 1960 Chevrolet Custom Fleetside pickup. Got a few ideas for this one so looking forward to getting started on it.
Zippi Posted May 11, 2021 Posted May 11, 2021 I have this one setting on my work bench but it's not the next project. I'll be watching this build.
Tom Geiger Posted May 11, 2021 Posted May 11, 2021 (edited) Watching! I have a 1960 GMC project I’m itching to do, but trying to clean up a bunch of unfinished projects first. Edited May 11, 2021 by Tom Geiger
Captain Spaulding Posted May 12, 2021 Author Posted May 12, 2021 Not much to show yet, got the motor painted yesterday and starting assembly on it.

There were many of those trucks in blue, another color that’s real closer to a factory color is Boyd’s Pacific blue. It’s out of perduction but you can find it on eBay…I will follow your build.
Captain Spaulding Posted May 14, 2021 Author Posted May 14, 2021 A little sneak peek of the body, tape didn't stick that great so have to touch it up in a few places.

bisc63 Posted May 15, 2021 Posted May 15, 2021 Looks like a great color choice; used to see lots of these old trucks in blue and white like that.

Twostepn2001 Posted May 16, 2021 Posted May 16, 2021 (edited) l like that color combo. My Dad bought a brand new '63 Chevy stepside with that light blue body and white top. 235 straight six with 3 speed column shift. Hope you will post progress pics as you go along.

I plan on posting more progress pics, haven't had time to work on it the past few days.

cobraman Posted May 17, 2021 Posted May 17, 2021 Looking good ! Maybe if my pre wired 6 cyl distributor ever shows I will be able to finish mine.

Captain Spaulding Posted May 18, 2021 Author Posted May 18, 2021 Got the motor assembled, nothing too fancy but came out pretty good.

Captain Spaulding Posted May 25, 2021 Author Posted May 25, 2021 Still working away on the Chevy, got the frame almost together and while trying to press the tires onto the rear end it decided to snap. Had to try to straighten it out and glue everything back together. Next time will do it before gluing together, not the first I've broke. Think I'd learn after the last one lol.

Captain Spaulding Posted May 29, 2021 Author Posted May 29, 2021 Got the interior assembled, nothing fancy but the originals wasn't overly fancy either. Not much left to do, paint a few more pieces then assemble it all.
