Yeah - that bumper gets it. Really clean and sharp.

Nice!

Those headlights are hard to find. They dont seem to be a shelf item anymore.

The gloss does look good on there. Kinda makes it 'pop'.

Re: 4D'S "63" GMC Build

Damn, David she looks great! I hope my home paintin bumpers come out that well. I read through all the post and some info on the rad res. in 1963 we had underhood windsheild washer containers, but never any rad fluid res.. A simple tube came out down the side of the to get rid of waste. We can hide beer cans or a glass res real well doen low.
