70LonghornCST.... You have to make time.. plus we have a deadline for this truck. Funds are tight right now so we are doing what we can afford. Just keep your eye on the prize, these projects can turn into a basket case real quick. Do one mini project at a time and progress can be seen very quickly. This is my 12th or 13th project in as many years.. so I am used to the pressure. Some for me and some for others.

The rivits are just regular 1/8 inch steel rivits with steel mandrel. I ground off the originals from the back side and saved them so I could compare them to what we have in stock at the shop. It worked out great, they look fantastic.
