Re: Project 78 High Sierra
Well internet is out so no pics but I managed to get the cd player installed..

I have a problwm though.....The windshield is leaking in the drivers side corner and into the cab...its a brand new windshield and gaske..... Do I need to put sealant under the gasket to fix this or is that a bad idea?

First pick is a comparison of before and after 320 grit sandning

The Cab bands have been sanded with 320 grit, then 1000 grit to brighten them up.

Then I painted the black stripes red...Painted the red in the logo and made the GMC black....

Re: Project 78 High Sierra
In that case I would get some windshield sealer at advance and seal her up.

Would you do just the corner where it leaks or around the whole window?

Re: Project 78 High Sierra
I would start with the problem area. That will most likely be the end of it.

Re: Project 78 High Sierra
Awesome!!!!! I like the cab trim it looks sweet, definitely the red sticks out which makes those little details pretty haha, the rims look sweet can't wait to see what you do with them. Good job man, keep the work up!!!
