Thanks I will two tone the seats feeling like a light cream on the outside and a cross hatch in center with original style stitching and tubing

Re: LS1 into a 73 cheyenne
 

Yes can’t wait to see the color pop in good lighting

Next move is to drop engine in. Then hang front clip then spray the entire exterior all at once, with bed off . The inside of the bed will be done first then masked off for exterior pass.
I have the mounts and hardware ready. Stainless steel mounts with some 12 pt ARP bolts
With a CPP trans mount and new trans mount bolts.

I realized I didn’t have enough mid coat aka candy since it’s so translucent u need to apply a good wet coat to make it visible. So I had to get another gallon from a connection in Nevada since it not sold in CA.
I also had to get another gallon of clear, so I’m in 3 gallons of clear.

Re: LS1 into a 73 cheyenne
 

Some progress. Tomorow bed will be painted So this Friday I plan to drop engine in and hang the front clip.

Re: LS1 into a 73 cheyenne
 

Frame needs some attention it’s filthy from all the water sanding. Unavoidable auto body refinishing is messy

Re: LS1 into a 73 cheyenne
 

Hopefully by Saturday I have the truck at home. Then the fun work begins final assembly.

Re: LS1 into a 73 cheyenne
 

What are your plans for the frame?

Re: LS1 into a 73 cheyenne
 

:metal:Love the blue!!! I’m kind of partial to that color though.

Re: LS1 into a 73 cheyenne
 

Wow! looks great Alex!

Re: LS1 into a 73 cheyenne
 

It just needs a good wash, scrub and rinse with a soft brush or sponge.
It will be time consuming with all the intricate parts.

Thanks

Thank you

Re: LS1 into a 73 cheyenne
 

Before I install any glass or seals mirrors handles, I will color sand it and buff it.

Re: LS1 into a 73 cheyenne
 

It's looking fantastic man! Can't hardly imagine how it will look after the color sand and buff. What's the GM name for that color? It looks the same or very similar to the Corvette color electron blue which came out around 2000.
