Re: 72 C10 SWB -- Project "KISS"
Rear window out. Thankfully not a spot of rust.
Just the windshield left to remove... and then off to paint |

Re: 72 C10 SWB -- Project "KISS"
Looks like the soreness was worth it. They look so good when the frame gets all cleaned up and has a nice coat of paint on it. The console restoration turned out super-nice, and the look of that polished grill has me contemplating having mine polished. Did you have any dents in the grill or trim that needed to be dealt with? And if so, did you do that, or did the shop which did the polishing do that?

Re: 72 C10 SWB -- Project "KISS"
Was the trim anodized after polishing? Or clear coated to keep it from oxidizing?
