Very nice progress Dima. You have to be getting close to body work time. What are your plans for painting the truck?

Re: 1970 Chevrolet С-10 "Brigadier"

I've been following your thread from the beginning. I am really impressed with your resourcefulness, you can't get the parts so fix whats there. Here in the states we are spoiled as far as cars/trucks go, if we need something it's readily (most of the time) available to pick up or mail order.

Keep up the good work, can't wait to see it finished.

That's why I always envied people of the US about cars.
if you need something - just go and buy.
a large selection of spare parts and body parts for cars, which have not even made.
Of course fender can be ordered from the US. but delivery.It costs three times much than fender :lol: plus waiting time

Awesome progress Dima! Keep up the good work. I really like the bed side fender repair!
