1969 the summer of restore...
 

Well, I love to work on stuff but hate that it takes a while... make no sense what so ever... :lol:

I bought my 69 C10 LWB back in Feb of this year. After searching all over the place. I started working on it the second I got it home. It was in decent shape but was showing signs of her age. Rotted out floor in some area's, Rocker panels were swiss cheese and body need to be completely sanded and painted fresh. All molding was oxidized and/or bent. So the tear down started.

The pictures are of various stages.. had to weld up holes from old mirrors, repaired and sealed floor, rocker panels and the primed pic is as of yesterday. Now to sand get ready for paint...

Well after 3 med coats and 4 coats of clear here she is. I'm pretty happy with the outcome especially the letters as that took some time to tape those off...
