Re: Project: 72C10 "Clear Blue Sky"
I still need a outer grill,(mine is toast, it's just beat up to crap) & wheels and tires, before this thing gets on the road, might be spring before this happens. Funds are low, so we will see. Probally will go with a set of rallys, 15x7 front & 15x8 outback, 255/60 & 275/60.
Then onto the interior, but i can drive it without any carpet or dashpad..LOL

Re: Project: 72C10 "Clear Blue Sky"
2 swap meets later and still no grill that is in any condition better than mine, so I am going to try and make mine work so I can get it(truck) on the road. I am sandblasting the gloss coating off it, will get some of the dents out, then sand it down with 320, then use some steel wool and get it as best I can. It does not look to bad......thoughts?? (sorry, just some cell pics)

Re: Project: 72C10 "Clear Blue Sky"
Man I think that will work out for you, I know its hard to put parts on that have flaws after spending all the time getting everything purdy, but I bet you can get the grill lookin good. You can always pick one up later if you find a better one. keep up the good work !

Re: Project: 72C10 "Clear Blue Sky"
Just read your thread pretty impressive and very nice work. I have the same problem with my grill and I'm also going sand blast it then I am going to put a silver base with a light transparent blue on it where it will be just a slight tint then clear it, not sure what I am going to do with the letters yet but you don’t have that problem.
