I have two small 12x20 garages. The county I live in is strict on accessory structures.

Looks like enough room to move around in still. Can't wait to see somemore truck progress

Re: 86 GMC, Porterbuilt Mild front and rear
Got some work done. Found out it used to be a red and white two tone. Now I'm trying to decide if I should go that route or leave it all red. Any thoughts?Name: image.jpg Views: 1264 Size: 32.5 KB

Re: 86 GMC, Porterbuilt Mild front and rear
Nothing like two tone, just has the extra something over 1 color.

Re: 86 GMC, Porterbuilt Mild front and rear
That's the way I'm leaning. I did some fancy MS paint work and came up with a few ideas for the stripe. The first is what the original would look like. The second would match my wheels.

Nice build so far and good to see someone local on here. I am out in Centreville from the neighborhood pictures, it looks like you may be in Springfield, Alexandria or Falls Church.

Replaced old big brake kit with a much better set. Fit and finish are far superior. Name: image.jpg Views: 930 Size: 50.1 KB

Thanks for the kind words guys. I feel like I'm on the down hill side of the build now. This was Saturday morning.
