Re: 55 2nd serie GMC

Just looking, you would never know it was wrecked, beautiful before and now...Jim

Re: 55 2nd serie GMC

Yes it's out of the shop

Re: 55 2nd serie GMC

Wow really looks great! I like the decision to go with a 57 Chevy hood this time, makes the truck look really clean.

Since you are now an expert at assembling these trucks I have a question. Why did you decide to put the fenders on before the doors? Wouldn't it be more chance of chipping the paint in that order?

Obviously you know what you're doing, just curious for when I have to do it next time...thanks!

Re: 55 2nd serie GMC

Getting front end alignment done today.

Re: 55 2nd serie GMC

Well I think I'm done, still a few little things to do but it's license and insured, drove it to work today.

Re: 55 2nd serie GMC

Looks great, and driving it again is the best thing...Jim
