Thanks Kyle, I will need all the help I can get from you when it comes time to shoot some color on this thing. My last experience with base/clear didn't turn out too good. I'm now leaning towards buying some of your high$$ base paint now.

Thanks Keith. I only wish I wasn't so slow at doing the bodywork. Some might say I'm meticulous......I say I just suck at shaping metal and mud. My work ethic is suspect too

Panels look great Mike!

Thanks Rex. I never thought I would be so far behind you. You really knocked yours out quick as soon as there was some red paint on it. I'm hoping mine goes that fast. FYI your sig link isn't working.

**Dieselwrencher** · 06-19-2013, 06:47 PM

Nice progress Mike! I dred doing body work too! But it is a nice feeling when you get it done and can say you did it your self. Keep at it!

Thanks Ryan, It is very rewarding to get past all the rust and dents. I know someday it will have shiney red paint and I will have done every bit of it myself.

Me too. I am GOING to have color this year if it's the last thing I do.

mcbassin · 06-21-2013, 11:17 AM

My ole friend CrashOK stopped by the shop last night. We were going to charge his AC but found a few leaks that have to be fixed first.

I have to say his truck is the nicest 4x4 I have ever seen. I now have a new favorite truck.

If you haven't ever checked out his thread (LINK), this is how to knock a build out the right way. Member screamingchevypickup did a great job on the paint-

Pictures don't do it justice.

Gonna hold you to that!

I'm looking forward to seeing Mark's truck too.

Man that's a nice truck

Crash_OK · 06-21-2013, 01:42 PM

Thanks Mike.. I hate that I took your time away from your build last night. I will help you make up the time in the near future..

You have made great progress over the last few weeks.. it is just a matter of time now...

**Dieselwrencher** · 06-21-2013, 02:28 PM

Wow, that is an awesome Black K10! I'm jealous!

jlsanborn · 06-28-2013, 01:21 PM

I made it! Man you've got a nice project going here. All the plumbing, wiring and ESPECIALLY the exhaust is stellar work! I'm also sooooo glad you switched cabs. Not a big fan of the shaved look. You're making the rust repair and body work look easy. I know you must have a jillion hours invested, especially considering you did two cabs. This will for sure be one you can be proud of. Props!!!

Thanks for stopping by my thread. Thank you for the kind words. I do have a bunch of hours (I'm not counting though). It's amazing how these builds can change over time. I will have more changes coming soon too. Stay tuned

Gotta love sanding!

68GMCCustom · 07-02-2013, 10:13 PM

looks like you got that pulled out great. I need to get me one of those setups...to pull out the door I screwed up...backing up with the door open and caught it on my TBSS. Yup, bent the door back before I knew what was going on.

STOCKISH · 07-03-2013, 09:54 AM

Looking great Mike, cant wait to see it all together.

Bummer on your door Kurt. I love the stud welder/dent puller. My good friend Crash_OK was nice enough to loan it to me. It has been a life saver. It's a must have tool if you're using all 40+ old metal like I am.
