Re: one piece at a time
well its ben a good weekend for me hope yall can say the same.
me and my buddy jason hit the Decatur swap meet . i got new chrome dome lamp and some por15. after that we went to my favorite place the junk yard. i picked up some okay shape chrome gmc letters and a really nice gmc splash pan for $45. sand blasted my old driver finder and put some por15 paint on it.i also cleaned, painted all my bolts and the finder extensions. i finally put my seals on the inner finders and bolted them on for hopefully the last time. i mocked up the core support to mount the a/c condenser. now i need to paint my core support. thanks for reading.

Re: one piece at a time
some more sand blasting done,i blasted my cowl and my grill backing.
cut the bottom off of my finder and welded my new one on. also painted my core support and bolted up for the final time. this is my first time to try and paint anything, i am getting kinda close hope all my work pays off. think i am going to paint it while its apart so i dont end up with all the over spray on every thing. just going to flat black it because my body is not the straightest

Re: one piece at a time
well i finally got my cab corner patched. i was waiting on getting a body saw so i could make really thin cuts that way i wouldn't have such a big gap thus lessening the chance of warping the panel. it turned out really well, think this is my best patch to date.
now to figure out what's next on my to do list.

Re: one piece at a time
Well $800 later my axle is back from getting overhauled kinda sad I only have $300 for the truck. Installed my moser axles and my big brakes from the heavy half axle that was under the truck previously. Started cleaning up so I can paint it. The picture of the 2 brake drums is a comparison of stock vs heavy half.
