Right on, tommys72. Saw you posted on the 70 2wd i'm building. That one is
on hold for a bit.

Well nothing exciting to really post. Pulled the motor/tran/tc today. Wanted to strip frame down and get it over to the sandblaster.....but that didn't happen.

Was a nice day today after many days of rain around here. Spent some time at the shop then the rest of day working around the house.

Couple pics of today's progress...always nice when you can borrow the neighbours forklift...

Last two pics are a before/after of a 72 GMC I did for a customer last year.
The white was from a Mercedes & orange was from Audi.

Thanks RC, I won't be going that extensive of a restoration on mine though. Want to be driving it in the next 2 months.

Myself & a buddy went in on a car trailer, to save money from all tow bills. Ended up driving from one side of the Island to the other. Bought trailer in Crofton then headed to Victoria (all that are familiar with these areas) to pick up a 71 Burb 2wd for a buddy...already putting trailer to work. Ended up missing 3:00 ferry, 5:00 was full, ended up getting on the 7....made for a very long day BUT worth it.

Re: The $200 70' GMC...
Time for a small update....been busy with customers projects and no time to work on my own...So I made an exception, it's may long weekend and I'm finally making some progress.

Had a custom 6'' lift made from Carrier Spring, all spring no blocks. Took my axles in to get sandblasted, got them back, epoxy prime and painted. New u bolts made up and painted. Started assembly on the frame, got my rims shined up and my raised white letters showing on my tires.

Should have a rolling chassis by tomorrow........and onto the photos...

Nice stuff.

I like those weld wheel rims. Too bad they are 16.5s. I just bought some new Eagle alloy 058s 16x10 to relpace my 16.5x9.75 American Racing Outlaws(look like centerlines)

Re: The $200 70' GMC...
Why did you remove the rear spring perches?

What kind of epoxy primer and what kind of black paint did you use? I see its Nason brand looks like

I removed the rear spring perches to get behind to sandblast...they have been re mounted.

The epoxy i'm using is Nason, the black is Valspar flat black, I'm thinning the black 10% to spray it through the gun eaiser.
