van crazy 65 chevy

I built a booth the last couple days I started a little fiberglass and soon relized paint wasnt happening with out it. Now I can control the dust and over spray through the whole process. It works great and im hoping for a  professional finish.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        Im running 2 turbine 8" fans for the exaust they really move some air I plan on cutting 2x2 filter holes for venting front to rear.

Do it the right way once! Good thinking. Can't wait to see the results!

Me to im so excited to get some primer on it been a long time striping down I can't wait.

I final sanded this area to see how it will be with some paint on it wiped it wth wax and grease remover to make it shine.

Rust repair on the pass door, house insulation in your door dont work rots it out dont do it.

Looking Great VC! Are those spaces in the drip rail to allow the water to drain so that it doesn't build up and eventually rust? That's looking nice and smooth! Nice piece of work!

I was off on the radius some how and had to add an extra piece oh well it is what it is now at least rust wont drop out of it when I shut the door

No I have to install the connector strip still little piece about one inch wide bent over and under I didnt want to leave the factory piece on there this way it wont bleed rust in the future.

cut out the rocker was really smashed up covered up by 3/4 inch of bond

rocker installed and door fit getting ready for door prep and prime

That's a major amount of effort and your making it look good !! I hear you on the drip clip, I have a tiny streak of weirdness under one, either from rust or paint stripper residue.

Lots of sanding every thing was done by hand I really hope for a "SHOW SHINE" this is my first. At this point I hear its all about what kind of gun I shoot it with the paints got to go on right or everything I have done will be lost in the sauce.

ya I have about 12 hours in fab work in that pass door is it worth it im not sure I didnt have another door to use and then I saw one up for sale the other day in the g parts section oh well.

Is there rubber grommets for hinges on the front door skins and body? Or are they on the cargo doors only the cut is a bit different from side doors.

Most of the vans I seen don't have hinge gaskets on the front doors(holes are bigger then S&B doors) They used sealer on them from Factory.  Front door(& everthing else) looks Great ,Ton of work as you said.  You ever find the Sportvan emblems you were looking for??

No I never found the emblems you got some? just another missing link!

Yes, Let me check to make sure there good enough for your Major rebuild project

Dude this is awlsome work thank you for sharing!!!!

Looks very familiar for sure VC. You and I are running almost dead even on our projects. Looking good!
