Cabinet grade glass beads. No warpage found. The metal in these trucks are thick compared to lot of other vehicles.

Mike, looks great! It might say somewhere in the thread, but what shop are you using for your sheetmetal work?

Re: Let the sheetmetal repairs begin!

I really enjoy watching your build. They lookgood when finished, but there is something about seeing them in the build stage.
Just my $.02

A guy in El Reno that promised he would never do another Blazer period, for any amount of money. Mainly does musclecars. Just took him a '71 Firebird for quarters, and taking him a 57 Bel-air next week for blasting. He does not advertise to the public and stays backlogged. Not cheap but worth every penny for him to do it right the first time.
