Re: '72 C/10 Custom Cruiser Project
Update time. Been getting ready for the Nats this weekend so i did some semi- experimental paintwork on the roof. i thought it looked silly with black and white and rust so i masked and bombed it black, and threw the paint divider stainless back on, i think it looks ok for now
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Also did something that i have been wanting to do for a while, with a lot of help from my mom, she had the patience to sit down and mask it all. I Painted the letters on the Tailgate!. i think they look good in orange. ill take a full shot when i get it on tomorrow. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Thanks for looking, See ya tomorrow ![]()

Ive been subscribed to your build since i joined the board! its hard to tell the exact weight difference since my old gate was filled with mud, but i'd say that the original one is a bit Heaver (thicker) than the repro. its still a good gate though

Re: '72 C/10 Custom Cruiser Project
I think is about time to bring this thread into the new year, so here we go...
First on the list: ACE Chevrolet dealer tags from Sharpie. there is some grey (primer?) on them but they should clean up nice. ![]() ![]() Next, a Package of Parchment goodness. Door panels, seat belts and visors all from Randy (teeitup). Before cleaning: ![]() ![]() ![]() Visors and belts. (the new armrests are from Chris (badboy007)) ![]() Some pics of the belts: ![]() ![]() And a before shot: ![]() After: They still have a few stains here and there, but all in all a big transformation, the look better in person though, the camera kept catching weird shadows. ![]() ![]() i did some light cleaning on the panels, and my mom is now working on getting all of the dirt out of the crevices. She loves doing this stuff ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() More pics when the door panels are done and the dealer tags are SHINY ![]()
