Walter DeWayne...Walt for short - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I really need to do the same on my '64. The problem is the truck was re-painted years (and years & years) ago w/the Lt Green vs it's OG Turquois Poly.

There are areas where both colors are clearly visible since the truck was not completely disassembled. My original thought was to clean & paint the firewall only (to the upper lip) in Satin black along w/the inner wells & leave the cowl area/s as is. But, a good friend of mine whom shall remain nameless suggested 'hell no'.

I have zero intentions or desire to paint it. Ever....

Your situation (from the pics) looks like it will work well.

I had to do the firewall because I needed to get rid of the original HVAC holes. I’m doing the interior, because it just plain ole needed a freshening up. That way when riding down the road it’ll feel like a new truck while the outside is OG paint by Walter DeWayne himself.

Understood. I did the interior already for the same reasoning.

To prove that I’m working on both pieces.. I got the 468/700r4 installed and the Chevelle headers fit without issue. MOVING FORWARD!!! Shooting for September finish date.

Inching along. GEEZUS, painting the interior was true act of acrobatics. But almost done. Still gotta paint all the small parts and the firewall.
