Re: 55 2nd serie GMC
And he hasn't even talked about the cost of supplies. You say your getting new bedsides, is that fenders and all?

Re: 55 2nd serie GMC
Last couple of evenings was spend doing the steps modifications. I had used another set when i was mucking up the exhaust tips. I only had the cut out done, this time i had an arch welded inside to give it strength. Also these are in better shape.

Re: 55 2nd serie GMC
Well progress is at a slow pace but its moving. The cab is still at the body shop, should get some paint on it pretty soon. Most of the work done in the past weeks is being done to get better door gaps.

Re: 55 2nd serie GMC
At a stand still with the paint job, well actually going backward. The paint job on the cab didn't turn out at all the way i was looking for. After trying to fix the orange peel issues i found the paint was lifting at a few places. So here i am blasting the paint of the cab again and starting all over.

Re: 55 2nd serie GMC
Nice, now you're starting to see the light at the end of tunnel! When I see paint being layed on then I know you're getting close to finishing the truck.
