Re: My 1970 GMC “Project Splice”
I will never get used to the cold. The older I get the more I hate the heat.
I can't wait to retire and move to Arizona. ![]() |

Re: My 1970 GMC “Project Splice”
Cab back and Driver cab corner are now ready for primer. I am currently working the drivers rocker than it is just the door jamb after that and I can prime.

Re: My 1970 GMC “Project Splice”
Looking real good. You will definitely be finished with cab before me. I am planning on using some high build primer over all the bodywork with 220 paper and then regular primer and block again.
I still haven't even touched the roof. ![]() |

Re: My 1970 GMC “Project Splice”
Thank you. The roof isn't that bad really. I find the larger areas are the easiest to work with. Its all the small details that eat up the time. Keep going and before you know it, you will be passed me.

Re: My 1970 GMC “Project Splice”
Getting close. Today I almost got finished up with the driver rocker. I have one more skim coat to sand. I also got a bit of filler on the drivers door sill. I've gotten a bit slower due to being busy with my basement development. I need to have my wife's office ready for March when she goes back to work. Keep following along and one day I'll suprise you guys and actually get some primer on this thing.

Re: My 1970 GMC “Project Splice”
Looking good.
I made a cardboard template of the cab corner at one spot so I could make sure it matches vertically and both sides were the same. My kid told me I'm getting too picky and it's only a race car. LOL Well, it is his truck so.... |

Re: My 1970 GMC “Project Splice”
I remember making a similar cardboard template when I was putting in my cab corners.

Just as with the other side, the cab corner to rocker area has given me greif. I thought I had it and then sanding revealed that it was still not quite right. Another few coats in that area and I finally have it. I got some more done in the door opening as well. I'll be happy when I'm finally done the rocker as I do not enjoy laying on the floor sanding up. Very hard on the arms and my glasses are constantly full of dust which I cannot easily blow away with my respirator on.

Re: My 1970 GMC “Project Splice”
Weekly progress update: The rocker and cab corner are done! I also have gotten a pretty good amount done with the door jamb. I've almost completed the first coat of filler and the bottom half has a second coat down. Hoping to be priming this thing by March.

Re: My 1970 GMC “Project Splice”
Right on man! Nice attention to detail. Getting tired of the sanding and dust yet? It’s looking great! What do you plan on starting after the cab?

Re: My 1970 GMC “Project Splice”
First off, thank you sir. Mostly just tired of the dust everywhere. Next will be seat brackets so I can finish the bottom of the cab floor. It will be a nice break from bodywork.

I finished the cab floor and sprayed it top/bottom with Raptor 2k in a can. Then I started serious bodywork and the whole floor top and bottom is covered with bondo dust and looks like crap. ![]() I literally have dust everywhere in my garage. My entire tool box is covered with it. It's making me nuts but I refuse to clean it all up just to make more. |

Re: My 1970 GMC “Project Splice”
Well I wasn't sure if I should do a weekly post this week as the picture looks damn near the exact same as last week but I did get alot accomplished so I figured what the hay, better make a post.
![]() ![]() On a side note, my little cutie is already 9 months old. That happened fast. She is very silly and happy. |

Re: My 1970 GMC “Project Splice”
Where are you going to spray the primer? Are you doing this in your home garage?
I sprayed high build from a can on the jams last night and it was horrible. I had my respirator on but when I went outside I could smell it. Looked like some made it on to my brand new Jeep so I did a complete quick detailer on it. In the 20* weather. LOL Made the mistake of going back in without the respirator and maybe 5 minutes later started getting dizzy and called it a night. Your little one is definitely a cutie. I remember when mine were little. Now my youngest grandchild is almost 2. Geez I'm old. |

Re: My 1970 GMC “Project Splice”
Man it's looking awesome! It's cool seeing such meticulous body work done and documented, most guys on here send it out and you never get to see the process in the build thread.
Also it looks like you may have muded over your VIN plate ![]()
