She got a kick out of your reply
Sorry I didn't think of this earlier but you might want to get with corts60 on this. Quote:
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.

Re: 4D'S "63" GMC Build
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. |

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. |

Re: 4D'S "63" GMC Build
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
