Thanks! I'm looking forward to more progress too, unfortunately my shop is two hours drive from where I live, so I usually only get about 12-16 hours in on the weekend.

Re: 1968 GMC "Camillian"
I did a little cut and buff to get some dust and minor runs out. I have to say it turned out great!

Got several things painted, cab, doors, fenders and best of all, the hood! Also, the bed should be on for the last time.

Thanks for the compliments! The sandblaster is from Rural King (don't know of you have those around you) it is a forty pound pressurized unit. From what I can tell it is the same as the harbor freight blaster except it's painted black instead of red. It defenitely is not the best blaster in the world but for as little as I will use it it works very well, especially for the price. I don't remember exactly, but it was somewhere around $75.

Re: 1968 GMC "Camillian"
Way behind on updates....unfortunately life has a way of throwing curve balls at you. Anyway, it's 95% painted and moves on its own power. Fortunately my boss allowed me to bring it in to work to finish up since my situation abruptly changed. Hopefully it will be on the road by the end of the week!

Re: 1968 GMC "Camillian"
The whitewalls are rollers, the plan is to put 68 camaro style rally wheels and black walls or white letter tires. Since I am not made of money, I robbed the suspension, brakes and running gear out of my tires 67, which had been wearing the whitewalls.
