Re: 55 2nd serie GMC

I've never seen these headliners before? Can they be fitted with the glass still intact??

Re: 55 2nd serie GMC

That looks soooo good. Really want to see it in one piece, just hope the green glare doesn't burn the camera up!

Re: 55 2nd serie GMC

jml55; just read thru 17 pages of your build
nice work, nice work indeed

not sure how i missed your build thread...
excellent work on re-configuring the engine harness (and seeing it work)
ingenious use of the spare floor to set motor and tranny mounts
grill insert looks awesome, you should think of manufacturing those
2nd paint job and body work looks better than the first, we've all been screwed before
also why most of us do our own work

but...

these pics have me thinking about a task force roadster pickup project
is my wife ever going to be pissed at you

Re: 55 2nd serie GMC

Still working on the cab body work, getting really close to be ready for paint. The last few weeks has been more blocking and primer sealer.
