Paul how come in photo #10 you have the brace between the fenders (runs behind the grille) but it's not in any other photo? Is it not necessary?

Paul,
What type of filler are you using and what type of paint and color is the red? It looks fantastic!

Thanks!

Thanks Paul. Need to come up with a paint scheme for my next rebuild. Purple truck is just not cutting it! Oh, I did not paint it- bought it that color.

Re: Step by Step KH to Day Cab
 

Paul - question on the paint job...

Masking off for the 2 tone, I see you're using blue tape (probably low stick) to cover the majority of the base paint.

BUT what is that yellow tape you use at the actual edge of color separation?

Re: Step by Step KH to Day Cab
 

Nice job TC. Very helpful.

Re: Step by Step KH to Day Cab
 

LOL you will think of some thing I am sure Lynn.

Ok yes the blue tape is 3m tape i dont use that any more as it can still mar paint so I use maksing film like a body shop would to cover a car to do a fender respray. the Yellow is the best fine line out there way better than and 3m I have used of the last 15 years it is tamiya tape for painting bodys..

Thanks Much Snonchaser.

Great how to Paul! what kind of primer do you use? I used that same red paint and it the primer and the black paint I used all 3 pealed. is there something you do to the body after you fill and sand it to prep it for paint?

Thanks

I have the same cab off of a walmart special. It could give me some more practice on bodywork. I always wanted to do a day cab too.
