Re: Silverado restoration in Finland
Our original rally wheels have been sandblasted and powder coated. Front is 8x15" and rear 10x15".

Re: Silverado restoration in Finland
Both fender had to modify a lot of. A bad fit of both. But now it is almost done. Yet the cabin would have "a little" welding, not elsewhere.

Re: Silverado restoration in Finland
Windows frame are almost welded. I hope we can lift the cabin up a few weeks and sandblast it. Painter should still be found.

Re: Silverado restoration in Finland
I came back to see how things are going. Thank you for the picture and information on the Opel Corsa. I'm sure it is fast with a 1.8l turbo engine. It looks like things are going well on the truck. You did good work on that cab corner and the part you added to the fender. What is your plan for making the truck lower?

![]() Hopefully the welding work will be completed and the cabin will be lifted off. After that we should get out of the cabin bolts whitch are broken, and then take it to the sand blasting. Do you have any good idea for cabin bolts? We were thinking modification rear hangers and shackles and front we thinking modification springs or put drop spindle.

Re: Silverado restoration in Finland
All cab wires were removed and the cabin was also removed. Hopefully, they sometimes get re-done... One picture from my big brother.

Re: Silverado restoration in Finland
Some of the cabin bolts and nuts had to cut off, because otherwise I could't taken off them.

Re: Silverado restoration in Finland
Here are a few pictures of what happened yesterday. We sandblasted window frames and a few other points. The last picture is our relative Chevy who pushed our truck back to the garage.

Re: Silverado restoration in Finland
Nice quality work being done on the rust repair I like it! Are there a lot of classic American cars/trucks in Finland? I visited Helsinki and Tampere and it was quite the experience very beautiful place and the people are awesome! I was planning on going back this year but I had my 81 K10 painted instead. Looking forward for more progress.

Re: Silverado restoration in Finland
I am downright stunned by the metal work on this project. Absolutely some of the cleanest operations I have seen on a restoration in a very long time. Certainly one truck to be very proud of!
