Had some free time today to work on the truck. I got part of the exhaust system mocked yp. Used 409 stainless universal 2.5" kit for the pipe. Plan on using magnaflow polished stainless mufflers also.

Re: 71 C10 6.0 LS ground up build
I spent all day and evening at the body shop today. We got 3 coats of sealer and 3 coats of the Olympic white painted. On Monday we can start color sanding and get ready for last three coats then we can start on the red.

Re: 71 C10 6.0 LS ground up build
Thanks everyone it feels good to have some color on it. All of that sanding and blocking pays off in the end.

Re: 71 C10 6.0 LS ground up build
It's been awhile since I have updated the project. We got all the red sprayed and plan on cutting and polishing everything this week
If everything goes as planned reassembly should start next week!
