What are you up to?

I performed my very first paint job Saturday on my roof. The roof has had 4 sunroofs and a 30" X 30" picture window in the past. Careful welding and lots of block sanding got it back to stock. Next step is painting the drip rails and down all 50's turquoise.

Nice job KC

I agree. Very nice paint & roof restore....

Thats a thing of beauty!

nice job KC

M1D

WOW Ken...Great job!!!!
B.W.

Very nice!

Slicker than a peeled onion,KC.Looks great.

very nice.......................................

Thanks to everyone for the compliments. I had a bad experience with a bodyshop years back and will never go to one again. Everyone I asked to paint my van in my garage is too busy. So I guess I have to do it myself. I rebuilt my first engine last year and it is running great. If I can do this all by myself then you guys can too. Take a chance at something you've been afraid to try. You just might surprise yourself. It's websites like this one that have inspired me. Wylee, I think my paint colors are the same as your van.

kc if you did that paint in your garage, do not, I repeat do not
hesitate to finish the job, that is some quality work any pro
would be proud to say was one of his jobs!!!! excelent work!!!!!!

can not wait to see it.............

I painted some door jambs today since this is the last warm day for awhile. Thank you Panelmanrd for the very kind words. I was going to paint my doghouse since I pulled it out, but thought it might look cool having the aqua & black trunk paint on the inside facing the engine. Has anybody else done this? The rest of the van is getting urethane single stage. I love the look and shine it gives, especially after about 4 hours later it seems to gloss up even more. If anyone is wondering, those wheels are very old Ansens. I bought all four for $25 in 1985 when I bought the van.

KC looks like that van will be a cruiser next year for sure

Lookin' good,
Love the color!

its gonna be sweet.............................

Yes, looks great!! I have tried some painting so this gives me some motivation to do more. Can't wait to see the finished work..

KC.... what kind of caps are you using??? My '67 pickup came with ansen's and no caps.

Heading down to West Olive tomorrow morning to pick this up.

I hope its not a boat anchor.

Digz,And what would this be going in? Bill

Looks like an old Hemi to me.....

I think it's a 440 , Hemi's have holes in the valve covers for plugs

67 A100 pickup - The center caps are made by American Racing. When I had the tires mounted the shop also sold wheels. So I had them test fit center caps until we found a pair that fit. The caps are slightly loose, so I wrapped electrical tape around them and pushed them into the backside of the rims before mounting on van. Take your wheels to a wheel store and I'm sure you'll find something that fits.

Thanks KC..

I would say that is DIGZ new used 454 that he has been looking for.

Yeah, a Rat
