Projects 59 chevy wagon in progress

My uncles old Nomad was rusted out, back there. I was curious with yours, being you are so far along.

 

thank you , im glad my build has been helping you push threw you ,

jj mine was only rusted out at the drip rail molding, thank god , if it was a east coast car it would have diffently been gone

 

Today is the day if everything goes as planed the roof will have color on it.!!!!!!!!!!

 

Oh Boy, can't wait to see the pics...Jim

 

Nothing ever goes according to plan around here!! Good luck, looking forward to seeing it!

 

Man, the car is shaping up to be an amazing piece of art. Keep up the great work.

there are a few really little ones, i can try to get you some dimensions if you want, maybe a picture or two also? let me know. i owe you one on the windshield tip.

 

Oh man, I hope we get to see roof paint pictures tonight.......

 

So........how'd it go???

 

So i finally got the roof painted yesterday . it fought me the entire day needless to say yesterday was probly one of the most stressful day i have had all year , almost eveything that could go wrong did , , i guess it didnt help that i was only going on 2 hours of sleep the night before , i just had way too much on my mind about painting it ,so with all the problems i just kept pushing threw so i spray it and it looks good ,i get to clear , and i had thought my day was FINALLY turning around untile a moth flew into my clear . needless to say i was done after that , good thing i got all 3 coats on before it happened but still .

here are some pictures
there were also a few little clips
hope this helps

 

Thanks Yah I'm usually pretty good about that but I guess the lack of sleep and the stuff made me not pay attention , but I know what u mean ,

Thanks for the pics and measurements, I guess we're even.

 

Didja get the moth out? How badly did it mess you up? I'm loving the colors, the dark green almost looks like the green in the Hirohata Merc.

 

Yah I sanded him out today , there was also a mosquito that landed in one of the ribs after I left last night I got him sanded out with out aney problem, now the moth on the other hand , he sanded out flat but discolored the clear a good bit so needless to say I have to redo the top of the tale gate , , In glad you love the colors , the dark green is a really crazy in some instants it looks like the. Hirohata color and others it looks a lot lighter , it flip flips so much , but yah out side it looks awesome , I'll have to takes some pics of it out side here verry soon i tried today but it was raining .

 

Glad it was only on the tailgate. Can't wait to see her done.

 

Dang Cody... that dark green is awesome!!!

 

Yah me too , your elky is looking amazing, it's been really coming together in these past few weeks , almost time for interior?????

 

Thanks chad yah that dark green is a wild color , at times is very subtle and classy and at other time is in your face and crazy

 

Cody, getting on here late today. Like everyone else the color looks amazing, to bad about the bugs (painters worst enemy). Rest up a little, then get back to work (ha ha)....Jim
