Re: 86 GMC, Porterbuilt Mild front and rear
looks good!!! I need some of them firewall panels been thinking bout getting a beadroller but never used one before

Re: 86 GMC, Porterbuilt Mild front and rear
I hadn't used one before either. Just gave it a shot. I had my wife turn the handle while I kept the panel straight. There are a few imperfections, but nothing that can't be fixed.

Thanks rip2174! Got started on the firewall this weekend. It's hard to see, but I used aircraft remover to strip the paint. Attachment 1267008

It's been a while since I've worked on the truck. Here's a shoot from the top of the tubs. I have been building a small garage for it as well. Attachment 1304906

I have two small 12x20 garages. The county I live in is strict on accessory structures.

Got some work done. Found out it used to be a red and white two tone. Now I'm trying to decide if I should go that route or leave it all red. Any thoughts?Attachment 1364471

Re: 86 GMC, Porterbuilt Mild front and rear
nice progress....I say go with the factory two tone....I keep mine on my truck jus did it with a lighter silver
|
Re: 86 GMC, Porterbuilt Mild front and rear
Nothing like two tone, just has the extra something over 1 color.
|
Re: 86 GMC, Porterbuilt Mild front and rear
Keep Factory on the color!

That's the way I'm leaning. I did some fancy MS paint work and came up with a few ideas for the stripe. The first is what the original would look like. The second would match my wheels.

Re: 86 GMC, Porterbuilt Mild front and rear
I like the gray stripe(second from top)

Re: 86 GMC, Porterbuilt Mild front and rear
Firewall is looking good

Re: 86 GMC, Porterbuilt Mild front and rear
Rendering looks good, I like the not busy but clean dbl black stripe just on the red.
|
Re: 86 GMC, Porterbuilt Mild front and rear
I appreciate the comments! Hopefully I'll be on the road soon!

Re: 86 GMC, Porterbuilt Mild front and rear
Nice work on the firewall! Nice rendering... I should also give it a try :)

Re: 86 GMC, Porterbuilt Mild front and rear
Nice build so far and good to see someone local on here. I am out in Centreville from the neighborhood pictures, it looks like you may be in Springfield, Alexandria or Falls Church.

Re: 86 GMC, Porterbuilt Mild front and rear
Yea, I'm right outside of Old Town Alexandria.
