2 more coats of spi epoxy to seal in the body work and bare metal that showed through. Next week polyester will be applied as well. We’ll see how it goes

Looks great!

I must have missed something somewhere, but the driver floorboard seems sectioned and blown out more than you did for the gas pedal. Can you show and tell more about it?

Thanks

Looks good!

57FleetsideC4 · 03-12-2021, 05:26 PM

Looking great. It must feel nice getting it to this stage. Like watching the progress. Steve

Jason 56 · 03-12-2021, 10:31 PM

Finally got some rust defender polyester on it took 1 1/2 gallons on the outside, first time using it , also went with tamco high build 2k inside. looks like another round of more sanding

dsraven · 04-11-2021, 02:17 AM

Looks great. Firewall cutaway looks good too.
Is that green grass? It snowed here yesterday. 4deg Celsius. That's 4 deg above freezing. Jealous of the work and the weather.

**slammed57** · 04-11-2021, 12:07 PM

LOL , I know you all haven't seen the green grass for a while now....but better weather is soon heading your way..... Its nice down here, but in about 2 months we will be in the mid to upper 90"S and dying from the heat... everybody has their fare share of some type of crappy weather I guess.

**youngrodder** · 04-12-2021, 10:08 AM

Very nice....I love the looks of that white interior..

Marc

Black_Sheep · 04-13-2021, 08:56 PM

That really brings back memories, your truck's looking really good...

57FleetsideC4 · 04-14-2021, 09:30 AM

Cab looks real nice. like yo follow the progress. Steve

**slammed57** · 04-19-2021, 08:35 PM

I saw this nicer looking aluminum stock for the dash trim, So I redid it from the 1/4" half round stock. This lets you run LED lights behind it (which I think really looks nice)
I shaped the ends to a spear sanded 320-100- grit , polished and then shaped it to the contour of the dashPosted via Mobile Device

**youngrodder** · 04-20-2021, 08:54 AM

Very slick detail...

Marc

my56chevytruck · 04-20-2021, 09:24 AM

nice job as I assumed from you. The details are outstanding. Those led light chrome trim is very cool. How do you run power to them? I assume they're on 12 volt? Looks good, and the weather here today is SNOW!!

Jason 56 · 04-20-2021, 11:11 AM

I like it! Is you instrument cluster also red?

Jason 56 · 04-20-2021, 02:49 PM
