Thank you Chip ! I think I will cut and buff before the fenders go on. Is there any plus side to doing it one way or the other?

Heres a few in the sun !

Re: 68' Chevy c10

Lots easier to clean, if you have the workholding. I'd fast bag the engine bay and give'er! Dude, that looks fantastic. Did you get much dirt?

Re: 68' Chevy c10

Love the color, reminds me of this car. Gawd, this is a badass car..
looks kinda reddish in this pic, but it's a beautiful deep candy rootbeer.

Re: 68' Chevy c10

Sorry to everyone following my build. I have been wrapped up in getting the new shop going, and working long hours. I'm still making progress on the truck. I just havent had time to post, or check on the many builds I was following. I will try to keep up !

Re: 68' Chevy c10

Awesome!! What are the pieces in pic #5? Looks like they're on the upholsterer's bench? Seat looks great!! Are you the seamstress?

Carpet, emblems, it all looks super man. What's the story on the other two you picked up?
