Got the new tires on and posed a few pics with the new caps, although the red will get repainted with the Canyon Blue.

Thanks but I wish they were not so expensive you're looking at 3 months of mad money, $235 w/shipping. And I needed 5, I could only buy 4 as a set according to several of the places, which in my opinion was B/S but I needed them anyway. I found a real good one for the bed spare on eBay.

The lettering turned out real nice. I imagine that took a fair amount of effort.

Ordered a pair of vintage style emblems to add to my fog lights, similar to the ones on the spotlights. I’m probably the only person on the planet that will ever notice the difference, but the lamps look too new without them.

Lets see, over the past week or so I put on the 60 GMC grill, new radiator, new heater core, put in new seats, new steering wheel, new shifter, fixed drivers side window, removed the 6 and installed an 8 with new transmission, made an exhaust, installed new springs in the rear... Now I need to install front springs, and put on mufflers when they show up tomorrow.. then I can drive her again

Made new wiring harnesses for Primary and Secondary Gauge Panels: Power-Ground-Lighting.

Reinstalled (for the last time?) the Camaro Dash.

Installed Wiper / Light / Heater & Ignition Switches.

Hooked up the battery, turned the key and everything worked!

Pretty stoked at how this is looking with the new paint (I still need to paint inside of doors). It's been a long time getting this modification to this point, but I love it when a plan comes together.

I think this is the first day I have spent working on the truck where I wasn't filthy dirty at the end of the day.:clap:

Make a wooden dash rail that bolts to top and side, then cover it with black vinyl to match seats. That's what I did on my '31.
