New from northern Minnesota
Hi folks,
I am the proud owner of a 67 GMC that I have been working on (off and on) for 7 years. I am 42 years old and just this summer retired from law enforcment and started school as an auto body technician. I have since finished shaving the door handles, filling the gas filler hole, replacing the rockers, cab corners and one cab support. I filled the seam between the roof and back of the cab, sand blasted everything, etched, primed, and undercoated the cab. The fenders are done along with the hood. I cut the frame from a long bed to a short and have now traded for an 80 stepside bed from Oklahoma. I will be going to OK in a couple of weeks and hope to have the rest of the body done after Christmas. Jim |

Re: New from northern Minnesota
Welcome, I lived in Hackensack MN which is 50 miles south of Bemidji which would have made us almost neighbors at one time. Now I'm in southern AZ
This is a great board, again, welcome.
