Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Ten years ago did the body work on my girlfriend's Probe and then had Maaco paint it. It took a three weeks to complete it. Car was hit in the rear so I got a bumper panel, taillights and hatch before I took the car apart. Maaco had the car four days and came out good. If I had to do it again I would see if I could supply the paint. Their paint chips too easy. This may be a good option for you. The application of the paint was flawless and it revealed the slight dent in the new hatch I never noticed.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
It's getting harder to find body shops to do older cars. The insurance companies are forcing body shops to turn away that kind of work as they feel it interferes with their collision repairs. So we're mostly left with full on restoration shops or less than professional shops the insurance companies won't use.

I finally got the rest of the old wood and auxiliary field tank out, so I can start moving forward on repairs and new wood!

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
I reestablished the underhood horn wiring, and heard it honk for the first time since I've had it. Next step is installing the new hub and horn connection kit from Forever Sharp and get the steering wheel back on.

I bolted on a new exhaust manifold, after making the slipring section for the donut seal. Also replaced the valve cover gaskets.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Got a amazon gift card the other day for my 50th birthday. Who'd thought you can get c10 stuff off there? So the gauge panel I ordered came in today. Looking a whole lot better than what I have. Can't wait to put it in. Not bad for forty bucks.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Installed clock in open spot in gauge cluster. removed steering column, painted, and re-installed. Started removing some type of undercoating on bottom of hood applied by PO., what fun that is. Need to find some bracing to add to hood to stop bouncing in center. Just picking away waiting until spring.
