A truck bed makes a good play pen.:lol:

Re: 4D'S "63" GMC Build
 

It's cleaning up pretty well. Gonna be able to make something of those gravel guards?

Re: 4D'S "63" GMC Build
 

Got the brackets cleaned, sanded and painted. Used Goof Off and removed all the bumper stickers. Then wet sanded the bumper, got most of the surface rust off. really looks good. Worked the gravel guards tonight and got them straight. Haven't worked on the Tag holder yet.

I Want to thank you again for the parts Sean.

Re: 4D'S "63" GMC Build
 

No problem David. I know you'll put them to good use on your truck. :ito:

Re: 4D'S "63" GMC Build
 

:lol: I'll have to remember that! Well i guess ill have to put a floor in it first though :crazy:

Re: 4D'S "63" GMC Build
 

Haha me too. maybe even a tail gate, but mines smart enough to climb over and out.

Re: 4D'S "63" GMC Build
 

Got my marker light lens in the mail Friday.
And got all the rear bumper brackets painted and installed.
Also got the bumper and gravel gaurds and plate holder installed.
My daughter is still playing with paint colors on the tailgate.

Nice!
 

Looking great David. All of it cleaned up very well for you. I didn't know that bumper even that much shine left in it.

Re: Nice!
 

Thanks, Sean.
Yeah 1000 grit wet sanding does wonders. now I just have to polish it.

Re: Nice!
 

Very true. The trucks looking great though. I'm just ready to see mine roll in and out of the paint booth.

Re: 4D'S "63" GMC Build
 

Looks awsome. Great job. What are you going to polish it with?

Re: Nice!
 

I know you are, but the way you guys are going it will be worth the wait.
I wish I could have done a complete frame up build, I want to ride first for a year or two then do it.

Re: 4D'S "63" GMC Build
 

I was going to try some mirror glaze,,,,
You got any other suggestions?

Re: 4D'S "63" GMC Build
 

I've always used Turtle Wax Chrome Polish and a buffer.

4dranch:

Your project is coming along nicely. I haven't checked in for a while, but I see you keep steaming ahead. I hope to see your rig in person someday. Keep up the good work and hats-off to your daughter for being such a good helper.

Re: 4D'S "63" GMC Build
 

wow that old bumper does look good. When I first so those brackets I thought oh great its going to look pretty rough. Now I wish mine looked as rough. ;)

Re: 4D'S "63" GMC Build
 

Looking good!

Re: 4D'S "63" GMC Build

Got the turn signal lens installed.
For some of you who haven't taken the assembly out before, I took some pictures. hope it helps out.

1-Assembly in the hood. I released the top clips first then the bottom.
2-Better picture of the clips
3-The housing mounting holes need to be drilled out for the lens from LMC.
4-Insert gasket and use the rivets provided
5-Finished.

(New Socket from Tony)

Re: 4D'S "63" GMC Build
 

Looking nice!

Re: 4D'S "63" GMC Build
 

Looking good. I love the new to you lenses and emblems mounted.

Are you going to run with the emblems as they are or are you painting them any particular color? I really like them just like they are, but figured might as well ask. ;)

Re: 4D'S "63" GMC Build
 

Thanks,
And yeah we are going to keep the color as they are for now.
My daughter said she wants the letters on the grill to match the hood emblems.

Re: 4D'S "63" GMC Build
 

Thanks, Joe

No problem, I kinda felt like Alan for a moment with the play by play:lol: sorry Alan couldn't resist

Re: 4D'S "63" GMC Build
 

I just noticed you got rid of your green cap. I guess you got tired of the green hornet thing.:lol:
Are you planning on putting wide whites on your rig?
