Re: Project: "just a little rust repair, turned LS2 swap"
Thanks!! My door panels will have an insert to match the diamond stich on the seats. I'm also gonna put diamond stich in the center of my bench seat on my 68 C10. I'd say go for it if you want my opinion.

Re: Project: "just a little rust repair, turned LS2 swap"
Excellent! That will look great! My interior man also wants to do some diamond on the door panels as well. I think it will be headed in for it in about a week or 2.

Re: Project: "just a little rust repair, turned LS2 swap"
Ok guys I have been off of here for way to long. As to an update on the truck it went to the upholstery shop last Thursday. I have the bed wood in, rear bumper and tailgate on, all the glass in, wheels polished. I'm shooting to have it finished for the weekend of July 11th for the Columbus Goodguys. Supposed to get the grille back this week and the push will be on. The shop is shooting to get it finished up early next week in time to get the grille in and do a final buff and shine. It's almost there! I can't wait!!

Re: Project: "just a little rust repair, turned LS2 swap"
Gorgeous! What I've always wanted to do...I can't stand how quick anodized grills look dull.
I plan in the future when I build my blazer roadster to chrome factory steel hoops and headlight bezels...

Re: Project: "just a little rust repair, turned LS2 swap"
Looks Fantastic! Local chrome shop or did you send it out?
Are you going to re-paint the black? If so, what do you have to do to get paint to stick to chrome?

Re: Project: "just a little rust repair, turned LS2 swap"
That grill looks insane. I'm gonna guess a deep maroon/red with that steering wheel cover

Re: Project: "just a little rust repair, turned LS2 swap"
Thanks Jim! and I have to agree!

I wanted to get it black again, classic parts sells some vinyl stickers for the lettering but there is no good way to paint the chrome to make it stick that I'm aware of. Thank you! and the clock is ticking on the color! lol

Re: Project: "just a little rust repair, turned LS2 swap"
I would think a little detailed sanding and some adhesion promoter would have to work for the black paint, but I've never tried it. I'll call my painter and see if he has any ideas.
