How To: 1944 Chev HUW restoration

[Bruce Parker (RIP)]

Every little bit brings you that much closer.

Here's my new-made sliding door for the generator cabinet. I took a photo of the original stenciling (I'm so happy an example still existed), rectified, scaled and positioned it, then used the results to cut a new stencil as close as possible to the original, poor spacing and all. I think the application of the original black paint was with one of those paint markers discussed a few weeks ago and not spray paint. I applied mine with a roller opting for clean edges instead of the weak application evident on the original.

Still, part of me wants the poor application of the original but it's dammed hard to replicate!!!

Hi folks. Just an update on Bruce’s HUW, my father and I purchased this just over a year or so ago and it is now residing in the UK, wheeling it out of the sea can yesterday and climbing onboard was a weird experience, Bruce was truly one of the best and I hope my father and I will prove in the coming months and years, that we can do Bruce’s truck justice as a living memorial to him. We have a ways to go with it but it’s a great starting point for us. I will do my utmost to update this thread as we progress, it seems only fitting that the updates come here first.

Anyway, here’s to Bruce
