Re: 1980 chevy long bed!
Im digging your build. Its giving me some Ideas for my low budget try to make a decent daily driver. I think the dash Bezel came out looking pretty good, the shifter.. Never thought of a socket. I think I'm going to use a blown up piston

Re: 1980 chevy long bed!
You should use barbeque pit paint from ace hardware or homodepo, It should last longer than any other header or engine paint and its a nice semi gloss black.

Re: 1980 chevy long bed!
Nooowww.. How I made the filler holes.
First I cut up little pieces off of a old tool box to fit the holes. I also made then a lil bigger so I got overlap them to glue them. Heres them on the back and the tool box I used for metal. ![]() Now I sanded them with a DA and painted them but it I just wasnt happy.. So I had some left over Griptape from I skateboarded (if you dont know what it is See the pic below. Its like black sand paper with a sticky side) and put it on there. I JB welded it on there and theres your patch! message with any questions and tell me what you think. I also am gonna put 3 toggles in the AC vent above the radio for Dome light, Front offroad lights when I get them, and my amp. Also gonna put a horn button on one by the wiper and light contols. GripTape: ![]() AC hole above the radio: ![]() AC hole beside light and wiper contols: ![]() Heres the whole Thing done: ![]() Tell me what you think. Also I took my headers off and Didnt break one single bolt! Very proud. lol Anyway sand blasting them tomorrow. Then some paint.. Black or silver you think? ![]()

Re: 1980 chevy long bed!
Well not having it is a good reason for getting rid of the rest of the stuff. The Dash came out looking really nice. Your motor all dressed up is looking good too.
