Re: 1968 GMC - Ol' Blue
Got quite a bit done Saturday.
Mirrors - I have now bought two new mirrors and both were a fail. The smaller one is from Brothers and was advertised for GMC, but it should look like the longer one. I was okay with it, but where it attaches to the mirror bracket it's not quite thick enough so the screw through it will not tighten up and it just falls. Even with the weird washer in it. So I ordered one from LMC (long one) that actually matches my factory mirror pretty close, but the knob for daytime/nighttime was busted. You would think this wouldn't matter, but apparently that knob puts tension on the mirror because with it broken off it just shakes all over the place. So I put the original mirror on and moved on. Bed Floor - Done. Raptor Liner has cured out nice and hard and very even. I installed the fuel filler door too. It's a little small, but it will work. I might weld on a little tab on the cap someday to make it easier to loosen and tighten. But it came out pretty clean. Painting - Tailgate, front panel, inner door panels, bedside braces, tailgate handle, and tubs are painted and came out pretty slick. EDP/Epoxy: Sealer:
