Progress, Cab painted and motor home. - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**Classic Heartbeat** · 08-11-2004, 12:29 AM

Well I was able to get the cab painted for the Garden Truck (72 GMC 4x4). The pictures are kind of dark though. I will scuff and clear coat it tomorrow afternoon. I also got the engine back from the builders, so I will have to start assembling it to set in the chassis. Lots of work ahead now. I hope to get better pictures tomorrow afternoon. What do you think....

**Classic Heartbeat** · 08-11-2004, 01:21 AM

Looks awesome!

meathead95 · 08-11-2004, 11:22 AM

Curbstone Mech · 08-11-2004, 12:13 PM

Looks good, Wes
Are you working on the panel at the same time?

**Classic Heartbeat** · 08-11-2004, 02:28 PM

Thanks guys, I hope to get the clear on today. Curbstone Mech, Yes I am working on the panel also. That is one of the things that makes my shop hard to pan in. If I am ready to paint something, I can't sand and make dust somewhere else. I don't have a paint booth. WES www.ClassicHeartbeat.com

What color is that? GM Pewter?

BobbyK · 08-11-2004, 02:58 PM

Hey...where's the motor home?
I love RV's.

**Classic Heartbeat** · 08-11-2004, 03:11 PM

Zumo, yes it is GM pewter. BobbyK, the motor is home...LOL I was trying to keep the title short... WES www.ClassicHeartbeat.com

meathead95 · 08-11-2004, 04:13 PM

did you paint it yourself?

thisolechevy · 08-11-2004, 04:16 PM

WOW looks great I love it!!
Keep TRuckin'

**Classic Heartbeat** · 08-11-2004, 05:00 PM

Thank you thisolechevy..

I am not painting it myself. I am not a painter yet...LOL I have done the panel replacement, some of the sanding on the primers, and even some of the sanding of the fillers. I need more practice for the finnish work though and I am trying to get a lot of this done for our annual "Show and Shine" we have every year. That will be on the 21st of this month, so I don't think it will be done....lol WES www.ClassicHeartbeat.com

krue · 08-11-2004, 05:42 PM

Looks good, but your gonna have to tighten up if you want it done by the 21st.

**Canadian694x4** · 08-11-2004, 07:56 PM

Looking Good Wes!!

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 08-11-2004, 08:19 PM

Look's great can't wait to see it done..
