I think I'll pass on that

I spent 4 weekends on that hood, it was a nightmare

I'm hoping you can get it all figured out and then let me in on what needs to be done

I probably won't get around to mine for another month or two

Keith it is looking great. I haven't been around in a while. The bed looks sick and the engine bay is killer also.

c10Dream'n · 03-27-2014, 08:49 AM

hey Keith that side view and engine bay shot is looking mighty fine. Your probably thinking it's not coming along as fast as you'd like but it sure seems like your kicing some butt.

Those wheels though, MAN they are beautuiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

72BlckButy · 03-27-2014, 02:22 PM

Looking good!

Thanks Mike, it's nice to see it in one piece. Glad to see you back on yours too. April is right around the corner so hopefully the weather breaks soon.

Haven't even started yet, I'm waiting on you to finish yours so you can come help me

Bennett68C10 · 03-31-2014, 11:01 PM

Been working on cutting the inner bedsides to clear the rear wheels. I'm not done yet as I have a little more trimming to do. It is a little nerve racking to take brand new bedsides and cut huge holes in them, I tried to cut a little at a time and I still need to trim more. Will post up some pics when I'm done.

I also got my radiator filler panels I got from Laidback Recreations installed. Nice piece.

Bennett68C10 · 03-31-2014, 11:03 PM

Cool pic I took today after taking the garbage out

2002yanks · 03-31-2014, 11:16 PM

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm, looks real good black with chrome. ..hint hint......j/k the red rendering looks great. getting closer. makes me miss last year when i was at that point....ok maybe not. dont envy the sanding.

Rusbuilt · 03-31-2014, 11:16 PM

I love it!

Thanks don't try to get me to change my mind again

j/k this truck is definitely going to be red, especially after seeing mcbassin's and trkfrk's trucks just get painted. They have given me tons of inspiration to get mine painted this year. I would trade places with you any day, I can't wait to have mine done and on the road enjoying it.
