You should own a fabrication shop in addition to your powder coating shop...you know, because you have tons of free time!

It's strange because I did this at work, which is not so busy with the Covid 19 fun, but I have to be here. I can't get enough hours for work at home!

I'm going to do something different on the emblems. I have new oem emblems for the truck but Chunk is getting color matched parts. The "Land Cruiser" on the quarter panels were repainted satin black, then I rolled steel grey metallic on the raised letters with a foam roller. Turned out pretty nice. Now I can put the new oem parts on Little Red.
Dang ! They look better than the OEM I think.

The grey should work with the wheels and the grey part of the side stripes. I hope.Dang ! They look better than the OEM I think.

Speaking of stripes, I talked with the shop today that is doing the blue/grey stripes for the sides. We are in Covid 19 lockdown til the end of the month but they said to have Chunk there on day 1 of reopening and I will be the first project through for them. That's great news!
Cant wait to see it with stripes. Love the 60's with stripes!

I was able to get the front end put together. I am finishing the AC later. Pretty much the focus is getting the truck driveable to get some shake down miles on.

I don't mind getting it dirty but I am dreading cleaning it back up! Ih8mud!Looks amazing Pat. Might not want get it dirty.
My 40 still has mud packed in it from last June at @Ocho77 's place.
Looks fantastic!
I hear you, mines not half as nice as yours and I feel the same way. We live 1.5miles down a dirt road and after the snow melted the other we got rain and mud. My wife said we are taking the cruiser I don't want to get the others dirty. At first I was like sweet, taking the cruiser, then I remember how I get mud EVERYWHERE! IH8MUD.
So using the works hot water pressure washer mulitple times a week.

That is such a crazy irony. My 80 is one of those trucks that looks sweet all cleaned and polished up and looks meh when it is dirty. I put all kinds of time in making it look good then don't want to take the dirt road back way to my house. Lame.Looks fantastic!

Wow that turned out great!
Looking forward to seeing how the seats template on the floor.
IIRC the floor is embossed where the seat footings go, and maybe the floor hoop uses an existing seat belt hole (?)... been awhile since I looked.
