Got the fender wet sanded and buffed out. Came out real nice.

Yes it is a 2000 silverado seat. I bought a wrecked truck and I am using the motor,trans, and the bucket seats. I was going to use a middle jump seat out of another truck but is was a little wider than I liked. The console will fit just fine. The jump seat was about 3 inches wider.

Oh well if it was easy everybody would do it.

i had a guy come apply for a job at the shop, he was supposed to be a body man. he said that its all about the prep and a monkey can be trained to paint. being the painter here, i told him that he probably wouldn't want a monkey for a boss and i showed him to the door.
painting ain't all that easy... there's a million ways to screw up and only one right. your work looks pretty darn right to me.

Thanks Clem. That's a funny story. I have to make sure every thing is just right and take my time or I will mess up. Just when I think I am about to get it something like this happens. The door has a few more runs in it and I hope I can sand them out without sanding through the clear. If I do I can just shoot it again.

I got the door sanded and painted again. It looks nice and smooth this time. No runs.

Nice job on the paint. I had to do all mine the same. One part at a time. But just down to the bed being left. Keep up the updates and great paint!!!

Ta2Don · 06-10-2015, 10:21 PM

Ooooh, Shiney!!!

dwcardfan · 06-16-2015, 06:18 PM

No truck updates. I have been on vacation with the wife to Colorado.

Ta2Don · 06-16-2015, 10:11 PM

Nice!!!

dwcardfan · 06-22-2015, 05:54 PM

Took the truck in for a new windshield!

dwcardfan · 06-22-2015, 05:58 PM

Maybe tomorrow I can get drivers door and fender on for good. I need a new gasket for my back window. The one I have is an universal and does not fit well. Does any body have a suggestion on what one to use?

Ta2Don · 06-22-2015, 10:14 PM

That's some clean glass… Looking Great Brother!!!

dwcardfan · 06-23-2015, 09:54 PM

Installed driver door seal today. And welded up the antenna hole.

TJ's Chevy · 06-24-2015, 10:04 AM

dwcardfan · 06-25-2015, 10:28 PM
