Looking good!

Re: Started my first frame off - 72 SWB LS1, 6-spd manual
 

Thanks Keith! Your ride is looking Great! Nice work on the inside of your cab.

Thanks Mike! The build is getting fun again knowing this should be the last time installing the sheet metal. Your truck is coming together really nice. I still need to order the front header and cross members to convert my bed to wood. So I am not going to be able to hang the bed sides for a little bit but still have plenty to do.

Thanks!
Thanks Duane! A new page, I need to post more Red.

I'm envious of the wood bed upgrade. I wish I would have had the coinage to do that mod to mine.
I had a salvageable steel floor so I went with it.

Personally, I never get tired of red.....page flip pics are mandatory:)

Re: Started my first frame off - 72 SWB LS1, 6-spd manual
 

I really didn't have the cash to do it right now (I'm still trying to recoup from paint) but my original header for the bed was dented up really good. I figured if I have to purchase a new one this is the time to make the switch.

Your right about the red. I sometimes catch myself in a lawn chair with a cold refreshment starring at it.

Installed hood hinges and hood latch. I'm glad I PC them black.

The grill is loosely bolted in. I am waiting to install the hood before I secure the front clip.

Looks great Mark

Re: Started my first frame off - 72 SWB LS1, 6-spd manual
 

That looks great Mark! I just noticed your radiator support is red too:metal:!!!
Very cool touch. I love the powder coating too. top notch work!
Every time I look at your powerplant I get LS1 envy.

Thanks Keith!

Thanks Mike!
I built a stand to hold my bed sides and started undercoating my wheel wells. I wish I would have under coated them before paint but it worked out.

That looks fantastic! Great job!

Thanks Mike!

I pulled the left fender back off to realign the drivers side door and install the door latches. I wasn't happy with the gaps. I'm really glad I had one of my buddy's over to help.👍

That looks great Mark! The gaps are spot on. I'm loving all the red. Keep the pictures coming.

Re: Started my first frame off - 72 SWB LS1, 6-spd manual
 

Nice job Mark, those gaps look perfect and the paint just looks so good :metal:

Re: Started my first frame off - 72 SWB LS1, 6-spd manual
 

Thanks Mike and Keith👍 Finally got the hood on. I'm hoping to finish with the front clip this weekend. I have more adjusting to do. The sheet metal never seems to go back on the same way 😁. Here's a couple more pics.

Wow, this project has come a long way since I last saw. Question, why do you wish you under coated before paint?
