Re: First Ever Build Thread
Thanks. Yes we're keeping it a GMC. This is my son's truck that I bought him a year or so ago with intentions of a father son fixerupper. Soon after I bought it I was shipped to Georgia to work on a construction project. Now I'm home and the overwhelming guilt from being gone for so long has turned this fixerupper into a frame off resto/mod. He wants black paint with black and red interior. We're going to pull the cab this weekend and try to make a cab dolly to take with us to the body shop. My painter has decided he doesn't want to do the final coat because black paint is so hard to spray without getting trash in the paint. He's going to do all the body work and prime everything and then paint the adjoining pieces so we can re-assemble and then we can take it to a better paint shop for the finish coat. He's 14 and he has 3 spread sheets made in Microsoft Excel. One for LMC, one for Brothers, and one for H&H. This is his Christmas list. I've explained to him that this is probably a 2 yr process but hopefully by the time he's of driving age it'll be ready to go. He attends a private school where all his buddies are driving Mercedes and BMWs and he's going to be driving a really cool 72 GMC Stepside. I'm digging it.
