Nice work on the console. It looks fantastic. I would have been afraid the laquer thinner would soften the plastic. I learned a new trick..thanks

More prep and paint progress. Eric has been working hard on the fiinal sand, prime, seal and now color on the cab and doors. Clear goes on tomorrow. Then buffing, before the same steps with the hood, fenders and bedsides.
Couldn't wait until it was shiny to post I guess. I like the way the flat base really shows the lines. A busy two weeks ahead...one way or another she's scheduled for exhaust a week from Friday. A lot has to happen between now and then. As usual with Eric, hard to say what's slicker...the paint or the tape job. |

Looks great! One of the most rewarding parts of the project is getting parts in paint.

Thanks guys. And I agree, few things give you return on effort more than fresh paint on large panels. |
Re: 1969 K10 CST Full Restoration
I'll bet by the weekends end the cab forward will almost be together. Speedy build.

Sure enough I arrived home today to find the queen tucked away and her back half taking center stage. The goal is to have them joined by week's end.

Fortunate to have the day off today. Most of it spent catching up on jobs around the house...but I was able to slip over to the truck for a bit and get one small job done. Prepped last night followed by a couple of coats of satin black this morning and the spare tire carrier was ready to go on. Woody (southern parts) hooked me up with the carrier and hardware a few months ago...Thanks Woody! I don't think the hardware was black phosphate coated from the factory (don't know really)...but I've found that if nuts and bolts aren't super slick...it's more esthetic to go the black phosphate route. D-ring retainer was in good shape and got clear zinc-ed. Just followed the assembly manual for install. Pretty straight forward, but let me know if I got it wrong. Never had a truck with it on there. Speaking of wrong...I'm going to break down and re-bend the rear axle brake lines. They just dip down too far at the spring bolts. Eric spent the day final sanding and prepping for color on the bed sides tomorrow.

Ashes is a good way to describe a lot of what we started with. In fact there were many times that it seemed like a huge ash hole. |

Quick pic for the morning. Hopefully an even better one tonight. This jewel is getting cut and buffed today and (hopefully with some steady hands) getting mated up with the rest of the truck for the first time in forever....(assuming the weather cooperates enough to roll the truck back in).
