Re: Orson the 49 GMC ~ Chris C.
Today JP ground down the welds on the roofpatch, a job that Alex never finished. Took pretty much all day, in fact we have to finish the back on Monday.

Re: Orson the 49 GMC ~ Chris C.
1. We have a faceplate, but where are all the gauges?
2. Here is your new speedometer prior to Modification
3. The O2 sensors were a real PITA!

Then we put your Front clip back together.
Finally we welded pedestals to the floor for the seat to Mount to, and then we ran out of gas!

not yet, the O2 sensors and injector adapters were incorrect, waiting for the right ones to arrive

Re: Orson the 49 GMC ~ Chris C.
polishing wheels sucks, but at least the end result is satisfying!

maybe it's cuz there are still some wet spots in the paint, but something is messing with my eye. is the top of the hood painted? i'm a teal fan though, don't see to many out there.

Here’s the front end now that it’s dry (still before wet sanding) we had a few areas to fix today.
