Re: Silverado restoration in Finland
Cabin bottom sandblasted and epoxy primed. Next we have to disconnect the engine, gearbox and the rest of the wires.

Finland is a small country, but the engine hoists are big. It needed 80000kg of crane.

Today was the time to modify rear axle hangers. We lift it 10cm (4 inc). Still new bolts and paint and it's ready.

That's the most amazing engine hoist I've ever seen!
Your truck is really coming along nicely.

We didn't have any other engine hoist in that moment.
Now I am in summer vacation so I try to do as much as possible.

Re: Silverado restoration in Finland
Can anyone help? Where do we find the original images of this age-old truck, which would show the colors of all the details? For example, the engine room, and under the truck. Is there any link anywhere from where to find original images? We are grateful from all the tips.

Re: Silverado restoration in Finland
Today our painter brought a sample piece and I can't wait for the truck to be painted.
This primary color is light bronze metallic 63/WA7480 and secondary color is almond 59/WA7473 (I don't have a pictures from that)

Re: Silverado restoration in Finland
Here are a few pictures what happened last days:

1. We put the putty (I hope this is the right word) many, many times and sandpapered it. I can tell that I HATE that job!!!
2-3. We had to cut these open, because the previous owner had welded them.
4. Here are my little girls, whos want to help us...
5. This is pictures of me and my youngest girl, after we finished transportation support (wood and wheels)
