Re: While I'm Waiting...

in ebay, try "chevy tailgate band" "chevy tailgate panel" chevy tailgate trim" or if nothing comes up, just use "chevy tailgate" and surf through about 1400 items. It takes a while, but will get what you want, if it's there to be had. Also I like to put in "chevy truck nos" and just browse through everything. Here's today's pics, about the same as yesterday except today it's got 2 coats of color and 2 coats of clear on it. It's going to be awesome when its been color sanded and buffed! They didn't get the bed done today because the truck had to stay in the booth because it rained really hard all day. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Last edited by 78 Chevyrado; 10-18-2008 at 12:18 AM. |

I used the old cardboard liner. I took all the staples out of it and peeled the old felt liner off and attatched the carpet to the cardboard with contact cement, like this: ![]() Then from the backside I trimmed the carpet to fit the cardboard, like this: ![]() Then I restapled it like it came apart. I got the carpet from ACC I bought extra flat carpet that matches my molded set to do stuff like that with. Well I got a little bit done today. I got the seat tracks on my buckets stripped, repainted, and regreased. BEFORE and AFTER: ![]() ![]() Last edited by 78 Chevyrado; 10-19-2008 at 03:27 PM. |

Re: While I'm Waiting...
Here's todays progress. Only stuff to paint is the front valance, ashtray, glovebox door and gas caps. Everything's in the sun. They have the cab sanded and buffed and will get to the bed later today. They should have the new windshield in tomorrow.

Re: While I'm Waiting...
Looks great. I love silver on these trucks. Is it the exact color as before? It looks a little lighter in the pics...that could just be the lighting though.
Great job. |

Here's a before pic shot to compare with the bed pic above. I think the old "saratoga silver" 17L had some green in it, but I'm not sure. ![]() The new paint has of coarse black and white, but it also has some pearl, a very little bit of blue and like double the metalflake most paintjobs have.

Re: While I'm Waiting...
Thanks guys! I think the body shop did really well on this one. They have everything color sanded and buffed and also got the new windshield installed this morning and it looks great. The photos don't do it justice. Tomorrow they should have the tailgate and bed sprayed with bedliner, as well as the bottom half of my toolbox. Then in 2 days I'm supposed to FINALLY get it back!

Re: While I'm Waiting...
Congratulations! How long did you have to go without the truck in order to get all that work done on it??? How much did it run you??? I ask because I may be getting stationed out there within the next 6 months, either Ft Benning or Ft Stewart don't really know with the Army!!! *sigh*

Re: While I'm Waiting...
I got the truck back last night. It looks really good. All I can get is this pic for now, it was dark last night and has been pouring rain all day today. I had to do something though so I got the fender emblems and drip rails on it

Re: While I'm Waiting...
Here's the first assembly pic. I got a few simple things done today, since it was raining and space is limited inside the garage.

Re: While I'm Waiting...
Thanks!
I like it more and more every day ![]() I havent gotten much done since last time, but here ya go I got the trim on the tailgate: ![]() I got the sound deadener installed inside the doors and cab corners as far up as I could reach. I'm truly impressed with the difference that stuff makes. I used elemental designs v.1 I think it's called. Works great, we'll see how well it holds up over time. Here's inside the door, that thing is the window bumper in the bottom of the door. ![]() ![]() Here's a little detail I added, I painted a black stripe in the new door handles. ![]() |
