Oh and i had the help of my girl friend and she repainted and the needles on the gauges. I painted the back side of metal bezel white and resprayed the front semi-gloss black. Installed all the 168 bulbs. Man i never seen all the lights lit up on this thing looks good will get more pictures of the repaint job she did on dash bezel and sierra grande emblem.

Man I just read through all 9 pages. You are awesome man! I'm 20 myself and have a 1979 SWB that I'm trying to get back on her legs. Great inspiration man, you have a FINE MO-chine there. Keep up the great work and dedication!

mcbassin · 03-08-2012, 09:30 AM

Looks like some very good progress. Keep it up.

54Caddy · 03-08-2012, 12:47 PM

Thanks guys got a lot coming this weekend. You guys will have to wait and see whats coming. The dynamat makes wonders you can barley hear exhaust at idle now with the windows up and the subwoofers have a deeper bass now. Its very pricey but well worth it i believe.

54Caddy · 03-18-2012, 03:32 PM

Well didnt get as much done as i wanted for the cpp show but still looks good. I shaved the rear cab seam looks way better. I used evercoat metal 2 metal filler 2 coats and sanded smooth just so seam was filled. Then used body filler and some glazing puddy to smooth it all out. Went over with some filler primer sanded smooth then black rattle can primer for the time being.

I also installed my 73 gmc grill. Painted all brackets and bought a upper radiator bracket for grill in order to put it one. Repainted the grill and all emblems. Now the gmc on grill on license plate match up perfect the way i wanted it.

54Caddy · 03-18-2012, 03:38 PM

Got my NOS gmc tailgate band on also. 73 GMC center caps went on also. Looks better i think what you guys think of the new look?

dead civic · 03-23-2012, 12:52 AM

Man dont push me guys ahahah. Thanks for comments. Was going to start too then i got slow at work and they decided since i was the youngest tech to let me go so now its survival time ahah. I need to find me a used set of lower arms and have some one cup them for me like luifer76 did to his. I dont have a welder so its hard too.

54Caddy · 12-03-2012, 05:54 PM

No updates. But looks like i will be redoing the audio now. Someone broke into my truck and stole the deck and amp and a few other things. Sucks but what do you do.

luifer76 · 12-05-2012, 10:39 AM

im not too good at this bro but you really need to get this thing on the ground....
