...Okay, so last Monday I sent out the first shipment of trim for straightening and polishing. GKing Polishing in Indiana is probably the best I've come across over the years. Greg does a really great job, so of course I wanted him to bang out my grill, side trim, and all the other little pieces around the truck. If anyone needs his contact info, let me know and I'll hook you up. I'll post pics when I get everything back.
On Tuesday, I dropped my seat off for upholstery.
And I also got the first of my small pieces back from paint this week. Plan is to cut everything in, do all the small pieces, and then do all the bodywork and block the sides while everything is together. Keeping with the theme of driveway building, we decided to paint the truck in the driveway, too. Here's the first of the parts...
Not bad for the old driveway.
I started working on another sleeve, as if I didn't have enough going on with the truck. My buddy knocked this out in about 4 hours. Uncle Sam wearing a gas mask and the National Ensign. I'll go back for more in a couple of weeks.
I got my transmission back yesterday, plan is to install it Monday or Tuesday and get this thing moving under it's own power again. I'm sure I'll need to do at least one celebratory burnout.
Oh, and I got my caps in for my wheels this week. I wasn't sure if I liked them when I saw them online, but I think they look good on the truck.
I have a ton of pictures of rusted metal from where I began installing the new rockers, but I'll spare you.
Hope you are all well!!
