Progress on my Big Block short stepper - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**RenoKeene** · 12-19-2011, 03:09 PM

I made some progress this weekend after checking out pics of other folks projects on this forum. Sure gets ya motivated when you see what others are building.

A/C box is rebuilt and mounted, fuel pump is on, core support and fenders are back on, doors are fit and gapped to the fenders, tilt column is in, radiator is cleaned up, painted and mock fitted and the rare 15x7 six lug ralleys with new 205/60/15 rubber are on. The stance is right where I wanted it and I'm happy with everything right now.

The body and paint work are nice.

I like this shot..

It's looking good as in real good.
One question, Is it light green or a pale blue? Either way it still looks great.

The paint is GM 586, 1955 Chevy Seamist Green single stage, only availible one year. The camera has a hard time with it, every time you look at it it's a different color.

This is what it looked like Sat. morning.

I'm glad you said that! I'm color blind and I see 3 different colors...all of them look great though! haha
