Thanks guys! I'm very excited about this next phase of the build, but it will take sometime to get it all sorted out and find the trim pieces I need to complete it.
Russell, it all came together so quickly, I didn't think to drop you a PM, would have liked to have seen your 57, and the BBQ was awesome!!

Thanks! I'm out on Johns Island and I work out of the house so I'm here most of the time. Shoot me a message if you're ever in the area and wanna swing by. Looking to get out and hit up some local events too now that the weather is getting nice.

Thanks! I like what you've got going on with yours too. I'm really starting to like the look of the PorterBuilt stuff and stance!

Those box sides are awesome. I will be after a Cameo when my 51 is done.

[ChuckDriver]

Well guys I was finally able to get a complete set from a guy out of OK. Just need to polish it all up, clean up some rust and get it all on!!

It will be a few weeks before I can get it done, lots of work and taking the kids to Universal Studios in Orlando and a family wedding.

Can't wait to see it installed!!!!

[Kim57]

Getting started on the clean-up of the GMC grill pieces. Picked up 2 gallons of Evapo-Rust for Harbor Freight and let it sit for 24 hrs. It looks like it will eat all of the surface rust away and leave a nice clean surface for some silver Rustoleum!

Looks Awesome!! Love the cameo rear and the GMC grill will def set it apart! Keep up the great work!!!

[ChuckDriver]

Thanks, but it will be some time before I do the Cameo conversion!

[ChuckDriver]

Slowly making progress on the GMC parts. Cleaned up the backside of a couple of the pieces and brushed on some aluminum Rustoleum, sprayed the hardware semi-flat black.

That looks great. Adding more chrome is always a good thing to me. It looks heavy, did it add much weight to the front of the truck?

[ChuckDriver]

Thanks guys, glad you like it!

The bullets and the center piece only weigh about 10-12 lbs., and the 3 park light pieces are just stamped sheet metal, so I think it only added maybe 15 lbs. total.
