Re: '69 GMC Build Thread.

Mike,

thanks for the kind words.

yeah, cab work is just..well...not fun. especially in that back dark abyss known as under the gas tank and interior cab corners. haha.

and as for the wheel arch/wheel well, what exactley are you referring to?
because on my box, all it was, was a pattern traced to the rough fit of the opening (i had tried a straight flat piece, but then realized my error...it had to be a rainbow-esque shape), and i used an old hood for the metal, cut it out with an angle grinder, then tacked in, heavier tacks and beads where possible, and seam sealed/caulked over. kind of...um..how you say..half-assed? haha. but it works.


and i remember your thread when you pulled your K10 home. thats a sweet looking truck, in pretty good shape for the part of the country we're in (thank you rust-belt!), and even better that it has a 327. yeah!

a small step forward is better than any step back, eh?

keep up the good work!

-Sam.
