Re: New Paint...Three years work pays off...
Thanks everyone for the positive responses, 84 400 it is the 6 right now and I have a good running 305 I might swap for a tiny bit more power for a low cost.The grill is the original 81 grill, the lights are from an 83 chev, they wouldn't quite fit so I shaved a tiny bit from the back of the grill mounted them to the grill and they slipped right into the holes on the rad support. I wanted to keep the quad lights but had the 85 bumper so that ruled out bumper mounted signals, so I did some customization haha. I'll post some more pics, here in a bit. I think my grandfather(s) would be proud, and that kept me going a lot when it would irritate me. I wish I could have saved my other grandfathers 78 chevy 1/2 ton long box with a 350 as well but my uncle had it and before I was old enough to think about it it got sent to the crusher. But thanks again and I'll get some more pics, the door jams and inside the doors even got done, I was really pleased how it came out.
