It's All Down Hill From Here (72 C10 Resto)
My grandson and I have been restoring it for a little over a year now. We just got her out of paint jail and I feel as if we've crested the summit. Now comes the fun part; putting all the Bling on her.

if by all the bling you mean side trim, man, I would have drilled the holes first...

Re: It's All Down Hill From Here (72 C10 Resto)
More progress this weekend.
I had to pull the bed away from the cab because the painter forgot to tighten the bolts. The bed slammed into the back of the cab and put a good (Bad) dent on the driver's side. I fixed the dent but still have not situated the bed yet. Only a few more things to do...

Re: It's All Down Hill From Here (72 C10 Resto)
Wow! Great looking truck. I REALLY like the Rally wheels and center caps without the trim rings! Makes the tiny 15" rim appear larger; once you put trim rings on your fresh painted rim is scratched and if you never put trim rings on, you'll never loose one!
P.S. I hope your grandson is willing to donate some of that hair for a good cause? I donated my hair two times to "Locks of Love" for wigs for cancer patients.

Re: It's All Down Hill From Here (72 C10 Resto)
So, all we have left is to run it to the muffler shop for an exhaust system and take her out for a few shake down runs.
