My 1970 GMC “Project Splice”

[Kronald_70GMC]

I feel like its been forever since I've done anything on the truck. I also feel like it's been far to long with no post here. Unfortunately I don't really have any progress to report other than the truck nested away in the back of the sea can. I realise it was probably not smart to put a foosball table on the hood but I didn't have room for it anywhere else. The hood already needs some work so I'm sure it won't be the end of the world.

And with that, it is official. No work will be happening on the truck now until I can get it into the new garage. I'm guessing it will be about 2 years at least before it gets there. It is going to suck not being able to do anything for that long but it is going to be so nice to have the new shop. All I can do now is hope and pray that I don't end up with a bunch of surface rust on all the bare metal areas of the cab. It's been sitting in my garage for years with bare metal and I have hardly seen any surface rust so hopefully the sea can will be no different. Although my garage was heated and the sea can is not.....

Still needing to finish up some things around the house and finish moving the rest of our stuff out before we sell. I'll try not to be too much of a stranger around here. Thanks everyone for following along this far.

Sometimes stuff like this happens.

I know to well.

About that Bare metal this stuff works great in the link below.

It's a little over $9 dollars acan but it works.

I had thought about using a product like that but I'm not sure how that would work with the bodywork I've started. I feel like it could soak into the filler and cause me paint issues down the road. Maybe I'm just overthinking it. I have a habit of doing that 😂

Yeah

It's kind of the worse of 2 evils.

Rust or sand the filler later.

I have been in the same place just not to your extent.

I have a tenancy to overthink some stuff also
