I also just found out from my own photos that the fancy wood-grain tailgate trim for the Sierra Grande (and Super Cheyenne) just goes overtop the basic tailgate with the big embossed GMC letters. I didn't know that.

VERY nice!

Re: Dave's 1970 GMC 402 Longhorn
 

Dave, it looks awesome! I'm regretting checking the update on your build.................. After seeing your seam filled, it's making me want to do mine. :lol: IDK though...........

Re: Dave's 1970 GMC 402 Longhorn
 

That is looking great!!!

Re: Dave's 1970 GMC 402 Longhorn
 

The paint looks great!

Re: Dave's 1970 GMC 402 Longhorn
 

It all by weight. The mixing weights are about 99% acurate in most measurement systems. Most of the older colors are correct the newer ones can be a challenge at times. Human error at the paint counter can cause variation in the same color.

Here's a teaser pic of some of the post-paint work. Sorry about the terrible rims, but you don't put the fancy wheels in the paint booth!

Sorry, been waiting on the body shop while you've been waiting on me! The paint and body is done now, so I am going to fly out and inspect it and then ship it back and get to work on it!

Here are a couple of current pics. It'd look better with headlights and wheels so on, but remember this is still very much "in progress", with no interior or wiring or anything yet.

Cheers,
Dave

Typed in a whole long explanation. Browser crashed. Too angry to retype, but here are the photos I was talking about :-)

Re: Dave's 1970 GMC 402 Longhorn
 

I dream of having that perfect of a paint job one day.

Re: Dave's 1970 GMC 402 Longhorn
 

My word that paint is so gourgeous. Absolutely amazing work by your body shop. Definitely worth the wait
