I found some overspray on the passenger door, a small ding on the bed they missed and they nicked the paint when installing the hood. They told me about the overspray and nicked paint but I think they just missed the ding. It's small but I didn't pay all this money to have a ding in my truck. They also have to wet sand and buff the whole truck out. They didn't want to wet sand and buff without all the windows in it because they said it makes a lot of dust / mess. I really hate to drop my truck off because I am a little worried I won't see it again until spring!!!! Great progress on your project up to this point!

Thanks. Since the last update they have blasted the bottom of the bed and also did the bottom of the cab and the interior of the cab. Last week they sprayed some SEM rust shield under the bed, cab, and the cab interior. Hopefully they will be getting ready to spray some color on the door jams, firewall and spray the front side of the bed and back of the cab so we can mount the cab and bed back on the frame.

After that gets done then it is going to come home for awhile. I will start putting all the wiring and ac/heater stuff back under the dash. I think I have switched gears a bit for the interior color though. I had bought a complete charcoal gray interior out of another C10 but I think I am going to go with the lighter gray that is in the burbs and blazers. I want to put in a set of factory burb buckets and console. The only thing I am up in the air about is what color to paint the interior of the cab. It was going to be the factory steel gray code 90 but I am tinkering with the idea of painting it the marbled silver that will be on the bottom of the truck.

Once it is home then I can work on getting the drivetrain back in. I will have to order all new weather stripping for everything and put all that in including the vent windows. I have a set of spare doors that I will transfer everything over from. Will probably put in new window motors at that time. There will still be a ton of work to do even to get it to the point where it can go back to the paint shop for final paint. I still have to put back some funds for that yet. I ended up spending that money on the two K30's I bought.
