slusher Posted November 21, 2023 Posted November 21, 2023 Really nice project Bob, an old classic Chevy! Real nice beast of an engine you have to drop in there!

Zippi Posted November 21, 2023 Author Posted November 21, 2023 I had plans on getting some painting done today but it rained all night and it's just cold and dreary and going to be overcast today. I did get the wood bed decal cut and fitted in the box. 2
Zippi Posted November 21, 2023 Author Posted November 21, 2023 I think I've decided to not put the bumpers on so I thought a rear roll pan would look pretty kewl. Since the 41 Chevy truck only had one taillight the roll pan give me a spot to add two taillights.
espo Posted November 21, 2023 Posted November 21, 2023 The bed decal looks great. Is it going to be an issue masking it when you paint the body, or can the floor be removed for painting?

This was just a trial fit to make sure I had the cuts nice and tight around the tubs I made. 1

Zippi Posted November 22, 2023 Author Posted November 22, 2023 I worked on getting leaves up in the yard today so not a whole lot of bench time but, I did manage to get a few things painted. The chassis is painted with Tamiya TS-42 Light Gun Metal. The interior is painted with Rust-Oleum Satin Nutmeg. I put a little of the 572 together but still waiting on the replacement front pulley setup from the Iceman. 1
Zippi Posted November 22, 2023 Author Posted November 22, 2023 Since tomorrow is Thanksgiving there will be no bench time so I've got the Kat keeping an eye on things until I can get back out in the garage. HAPPY THANKSGIVING everyone. 2
Rattlecan Dan Posted November 22, 2023 Posted November 22, 2023 Thanks, and Happy Thanksgiving to you. Got a real nice start going on this one.

dragcarz Posted November 22, 2023 Posted November 22, 2023 Looking great Bob, I like the roll pan, great color on the chassis, nice to mix it up a bit. Once again great eye for color!

Zippi Posted November 26, 2023 Author Posted November 26, 2023 I got my replacement pulley setup in from the Iceman. I have some .090 Dia. strained wire that I use for radiator hose and I pull the wire out so it makes the insulation really flexible. By doing this it can be bent into tight spots. I also got the engine wired and the fuel line to each carb ran. I still need to add the hose clamps and do some touch up. 2
