Re: 1956 gmc 100
Getting close now! to bad it'll be snowing in a few weeks lol. I have to finish the doors and some odds and ends and thats it. I am going to lower the front an inch or so.. i want a little more rake and my opinion is that theres to much tire showing. I cleaned and painted the GMC emblems but now i dont like the red...i'm thinking of painting them the same graphite color as the wheels? what do you guys think?

Re: 1956 gmc 100
X2 on painting in emblems with the wheel colour. Great job so far, looks good. I'm a bit jealous though, I remember you started your project way after mine.

Looks real nice. I like the contrast of the red.

Re: 1956 gmc 100
I tried the graphite color on the emblems and i think it made them look old. I tried white and i like the contrast so thats what i'm going with.

Re: 1956 gmc 100
Red, you were almost right..But i guess i had not done enough times. This is the last time and now they are ivory, i think this is the best so far. I painted the GMC on the tailgate to match but it still needs another coat.

Re: 1956 gmc 100
At it gain lol. I swear i WILL have this thing done by spring! New door bottoms and one piece glass. I used the black diesel method and it went pretty well....however it does take a lot of fudging around to get everything working smooth, and my preference would be to NOT use the chrome stripped window felts. After destroying one side i switched to the regular black ones.

Re: 1956 gmc 100
Very nice. On your fuel tank I take it the gas filler is in the bed? Is their enough room to run it out to the fender? Thanks Rich
