It's awesome when prime is on - it really makes you see all the hard work paying off. Keep up the good progress.

I've been watching this thread since I registered. You've done just about teh same things that my cab needs, but mine is in much worse shape. Keep the progress pics coming.

Tell them your Secret Body Guy is what all wish to find but few have the luck of finding! Wow, Bill really spot welded that rocker on well! No short cuts there!
May I bring him a few rides to fix? Lucky GUY, Kurt, Darn I am envious! You are a trucks BEST friend! Keep up the fabulous resto's.

I just finished painting/clearing the cab interior.
I'll post a pic when I get the paper off the portion of the cab that's already done.

Came out pretty sweet. :D

beatiful work!!

Is that a Chevy or a GMC?

I saw leaf springs which I think are usually stock on GMC, an option on Chevys. Then I saw the gate said Chevy, but I thought I saw GMC on hub cap. So what do you have there?

The interior looks excellent. Great job!

Hey... aren't you supposed to make the exterior look like glass??? You could get that new clear carpet for the floor. No, man. it really looks sweet.... look forward to the finish of your project. Good luck .... Trevor :cool:

Wow
 
Makes me feel a little religious. Holy, Holy!!

All that without buffing I assume!! I love that color even more now.

Keep us updated.

thank you.

Wow nice work, I love the color. Many people shy away from the factory colors, but they loook so right on these trucks. Keep up the good work.

You hit the nail on the head. It definetly looks pretty sweet!!!!!!!!!

I wish the OUTSIDE of my truck looked that good! BTW, I think you should keep the tape on the pedals and everything else for that monochromatic look. ;)

All 4x4's were leaf sprung.

That is really, really purdy!

Got it out into sunlight for a change... :rolleyes:

Had to pull it out of the body shop to start on another project that has a "due" date.
Everything is in primer except for the pass. door & hood.
So even though the truck is not there, the work on it will still continue. :cool:

biglou55 05-12-2005 07:05 AM

Let to many other projects "sneak" in lately.

Almost sold it even...:crazy:

Thanks for asking, I'll be doing more on it throughout the winter.

sweet truck dude want to do mine next?

stueber68 11-22-2005 06:09 PM

Re: It's Begun...
 
I always thought they should have painted the heat/air box in these at the factory. I certainly understand not painting it now since you go original, but imagine how it would look if that was done to begin with.
