Re: 1983 GMC " Getting Grounded"
Cool truck. Got 1 I'm building now, and maybe one more first but want to one day build one like it with one of the squares I have stashed.
Looks really good.

Re: 1983 GMC " Getting Grounded"
Is the red and yellow stripe a decal? Can you show a closeup?

No it's all paint. It took a while to lay out but was worth it. I can take a close up Wednesday and try to post it.

Re: 1983 GMC " Getting Grounded"
In the stripe progress. I learned don't use green 3m tape to pinstripe. Don't be cheap use the fine line 3m tape to keep from lots of headaches and redoing some parts
