Re: project (sweet pea)

Hey;

Is that A low spot on the door? Just kidding. Someone has to yank your chain a bit. Really though, it looks great! There is nothing like that feeling of seeing it with paint on it. Sort of like closure. The end of the dreaded body work.

Are you going to color sand, or leave it be?

Re: project (sweet pea)

Low Spot...lol nah ...she is straight...lolNot to be cocky...But it does not need any sanding...Although i may do it just for that little extra pop....(I doubt I will) I hate wet sanding and buffing.........There is just one small piece of dirt on the cab....I will hit that when I do a final Detail And go from there........

Todays update....SWEET PEA IS HOME.....Took a lunch today which is a rarity...But one of our Roll Back drivers was at the shop and said lets load her up....

Here is a few pics to hopefully show the color better

Re: project (sweet pea)

aren't there special formed nuts and bolts on the truck ?
might be an idea to have the original hardware cleaned and repassified , my guess is it will safe you a lot of trips to the hardwharestore .

on the other hand you do live in the states so those treadstyle bolts are easely available

Re: project (sweet pea)

Just think, you'll be cruisin in style in the spring while I am working on mine instead of cruising But you've been through most of the hardest work already (unless you're going to rebuild the vent windows ) and just have the details to put it together and enjoy it.
