Thanks, that is the plan, we will see how it actually turns out. As slow as I work it will probably be forever before I see Red again.

Thanks, hopefully it doesn't look like a rookie painted it when it's done

Yesterday I got the core support mounted back up to the frame and bolted my radiator cover on as well. I ran to the local Pepboys and picked up some universal aluminum grill screen and some epoxy. I used the epoxy to mount the grill on the backside if the cover, turned out pretty nice

I also got the hood off and unbolted the cab from the frame so that I can hopefully get that off today.

Love that radiator cover.

**Sac** · 08-03-2014, 10:16 AM

That looks awesome man. All in the details.

Thanks guys, I really like the way it looks and I'm happy I repainted the cover Satin Black too. It has the perfect sheen to it.

67chevy1series · 08-03-2014, 10:55 PM

Looks slick with the mesh! I can't wait to get the dies to do this for my truck

mikeleeshields · 08-04-2014, 06:47 AM

The cover turned out really good.

mcbassin · 08-04-2014, 08:09 AM

Thanks Jason, the cab and doors are my main focus from here on out. I want to try to get them painted and done before the winter.

Thanks Mike, the cab isn't as bad as I make it out to be. It's not going to get done on its own so I need to stop complaining and get at it

knomadd · 08-08-2014, 10:08 AM

Good luck Keith. I'm sure you'll do fine.
