Re: project: What did I get myself into 50 chevy

As you might be able to tell from the last few pictures the cab has taken a beating since it was painted. I repainted the firewall this weekend and am planning on repainting the cab too. The fenders and hood are a little darker in the pictures above, that is the new paint color. I darkened up the red a little and added a little more gloss to the clear. I wanted a cool satin sheen not just another flat paint job.

Sound deadener is in, carpet is on the way. Wiring is in progress. Ordered a new steering column, ive gone this far and im not putting the ugly 80s GM column back in it.



Oh, I had a hell of a time fabbing up a trans tunnel that looked good so while at a swap meet I found this guy for $20. Its a removable tunnel from a 60s chevy truck. Had to move the shifter hole but came out perfect.
