Frustration - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Well, after spending the past two weeks doing the nasty, but very important job of blocking (wet sanding) and preping my front fenders, doors and hood for paint, again I wait in line for one of the booths. It seems like the booths are empty until I am ready to get in. Anyway, I had hoped to spray the color on the front clip this week, but now there is a winter weather advisory for the area and I'm not sure I can even get to school tomorrow. If and when I can get it done I'll post photos.

Well maybe get some more done like cab or bed then when you get the booth you can do twice as much.??

If I remember right I think the cab is painted. It sucks the booths are full (its a 40 min drive for you?) Can you call a head of time so you don't have to waste a trip?

I have to go to class anyway. The only parts I have left that are close to paint is the grill and cowl. The bed needs much more work. I thought I would finish the front, bolt it together, drag it home and store it somewhere before I startded on the bed. We need all the room we can get in the shop. I also would like to get my Harley in the shop before spring.
