Looks great, Bill! Hopefully, when you show pics of the final product it will shame me into getting mine done!

70c10 ; I'm going with the stock colors Bronze and white .

ChevyDude ; after 2 years of trying to dedicate the time to do this I was hoping for a 2 week process ,and it started to rain here so I'm already behind schedule and it's going to rain tomorrow.

paintpyro; after the last Pomona show I seen 2 Bronze and white trucks that had been restored and painted ,that is what got me off my butt .

Nice colors!! I just got mine back from the body shop this past weekend. Same colors as yours. It looks great, its been there since last August. Only thing left is to put the back slider in mine. It looks like you started with a good solid project too!!

Question

Hang in there Bill, It will be worth it when your finished. It's been snowing and raining out my way and we are suppose to get more snow again tonight which slows my restoration down. My body man is suppose to take the cab off within the next week. Can't wait to see yours finished. Was there a reason why you took off your custom camper emblems? I don't know whether to keep mine or not.Dave

Its coming along...Mine will be in the same process soon. I took all the trim off and will have to have someone weld to close the holes. It seems like it takes forever to get from step 1 to step 2. But Rome was not built in a day.

Dave ; I just wanted a smoother look and I figured with a new paint job it would be a pain to wash and wax with them on ,I also took off the CustomC20 on the front fenders. I know this may cause me to be flamed but I think it will look ok.
