Re: LS1 into a 73 cheyenne
Here are a few pics of the progress. The bottom belly and the frame where painted using valspar self etch primer then a pass with PCL then shot with a single stage valspar vivid blue purl. Frame was dusty when pics were taken

Re: LS1 into a 73 cheyenne
Very nice work on the body! I can understand what it takes to get it to this point. I just finished my son's paint and it took forever.
