yes,
It's flat right now with the gloss bumper, grill and upper supports.

That's a good idea, have the one suzyq drew on one side and hers on the other side.

I ordered just some regular lens from classic parts. but the kicker is I want to see how many folks notice the bowtie on them.

kizer · 03-06-2009, 12:00 PM

Hey cool score. Isn't it great meeting people by accident many different ways.

Man I'm so jealous I'd love to have my kid helping me in the shop. To bad hes only 3 right now. I suppose I could stop and wait 5 or 6 years. Nah, will buy something new for him to work on.

Got the brackets cleaned, sanded and painted. Used Goof Off and removed all the bumper stickers. Then wet sanded the bumper, got most of the surface rust off. really looks good. Worked the gravel guards tonight and got them straight. Haven't worked on the Tag holder yet.

I Want to thank you again for the parts Sean.

TwiggyTheDrummer · 03-07-2009, 09:29 AM

No problem David. I know you'll put them to good use on your truck.

TwiggyTheDrummer · 03-09-2009, 09:10 AM

I've always used Turtle Wax Chrome Polish and a buffer.

*LILRED66* · 03-09-2009, 09:36 AM

4dranch:

Your project is coming along nicely. I haven't checked in for a while, but I see you keep steaming ahead. I hope to see your rig in person someday. Keep up the good work and hats-off to your daughter for being such a good helper.

kizer · 03-09-2009, 10:04 AM

wow that old bumper does look good. When I first so those brackets I thought oh great its going to look pretty rough. Now I wish mine looked as rough.

jchav62 · 03-09-2009, 10:10 AM

Looking good!

jason65 · 03-09-2009, 10:14 AM

I use flitz. Use it on my scoot, guns, truck. But everybody likes something differant.

metalhead922 · 02-08-2010, 10:52 PM

Ryan here (with the '66 GMC Suburban)..

Thanks for the link to your pics.. just one more question.. the rivets.. do you use a regular pop rivet tool? or something else.. its about the only part I'm stumped on now.. haha
Thanks

4dranch · 02-09-2010, 09:18 PM

They are real soft. I just used something hard and smooth on the head side and a center punch and tap lightly. Hope this helps

4dranch · 03-07-2010, 04:07 PM
