sams 88 gmc build

So i picked up a new pickup in a trade. Pretty happy with the trade. It needs a bunch of work but its all the stuff I enjoy doing. I dont have a computer so updates might just be videos now because they are easier from a phone. But here it is.

Re: sams 88 gmc build

Here is what i started out with

These are my new notches

I also started shaving the gate handle.

Thank you.
