Re: Son's 68 c10 Short Bed
Agreed, it really does look good. Colors pop and everything else enhances that.

Re: Son's 68 c10 Short Bed
Thank you. I’m super excited. It’s coming together nicely. I’m really wanting to change the wheels now too.

Re: Son's 68 c10 Short Bed
Honestly, I am digging these right now. I would stick with a 20" rim that was staggered.

Re: Son's 68 c10 Short Bed
My son sent me these pictures a few ago. I believe this is the first round of primer on the hood. The glove box door is done and ready for paint, I think.

Re: Son's 68 c10 Short Bed
I really like these too. They're similar to the wheels I ordered for mine. What sizes for wheels and tires are you going for overall?

Re: Son's 68 c10 Short Bed
Productive day today. Passenger side door is done. ‘67 Camaro mirrors installed, one piece glass installed, interior door panel on. Got the tailgate on and adjusted too.

Re: Son's 68 c10 Short Bed
Color sanded and buffed the front fenders and cowl panel today. Came out really slick.
Also, we got the drivers side door glass in, buttoned up the door panel, and color sanded and buffed the glove box door and got it installed. Basically, the inside is all done until we get it home. Once home, we will have to pull the seat to put the speakers and amp back in it.

Re: Son's 68 c10 Short Bed
Thank you. The whole upload was weird for some reason. I think it’s fixed now.

Re: Son's 68 c10 Short Bed
The red tailgate lettering really stands out. I like everything you're doing with it. That's going to be the coolest school-age kid vehicle out there.

Re: Son's 68 c10 Short Bed
Looking awesome. Really turning out nice. Seeing those door panels clean like that is starting to make me think about welding up the speaker holes in mine and just go with kick panel speakers.....
The red is bright on the tailgate, but it looks good with the tail-lights and side markers.
