Getting on this forum was more expensive than buying my truck.

Re: Project "Irvin"
 

Repainted my Cheyenne emblems last night, going to mix up some clear and go over them today.

Re: Project "Irvin"
 

Hood and cowl painted

Re: Project "Irvin"
 

Irvin looks great! What kind of wheels did you change to? What size? If u run across any trim, I need top and bottoms, po disposed of all mine.

Re: Project "Irvin"
 

Looking good friend!

Re: Project "Irvin"
 

Nice job

Re: Project "Irvin"
 

Thanks for compliment, the wheels are centerline smoothies, I may have a few spare pieces of trim you may have once I get finished.
Thanks guys!!!

Re: Project "Irvin"
 

Nice job laying that paint, looks sweet!! What paint did you use on your emblems? I did mine with model paint but I didn't use clear, am I gonna need to clear them?

Re: Project "Irvin"
 

I used the base coat from my truck, I have a cheaper clear I used on some parts I did for a buddy that I'll mix to brush on emblems. Thanks on the paint compliment, I miss having a booth but use what cha got!

Brought hood in tonight so it can cure inside

Re: Project "Irvin"
 

Morning boredom :lol:

Oh yeah, put clear in emblems last night just have to clean them up some more

Re: Project "Irvin"
 

Everything looks good. Paint booth not necessary, prep makes the paint job. Let me know when u can get to mine (lol), my wife calls mine an "eyesore" to the subdivision. She is the factory light blue and white, original paint, but p.o. decided to primer passenger door, paint drivers front fender black and remove all the upper and lower trim, carpet. He also decided to try to weld up the holes for the trim then spray paint them black over the welds! Looking for a passenger door if you run across one and steering wheel. I wish I had your talent, good job.

Re: Project "Irvin"
 

Very nice indeed. Love orange and white combo.

Re: Project "Irvin"
 

Thanks guys, Anthony your right about prepping it makes the job. I'll keep an eye for you some parts.

Re: Project "Irvin"
 

Thanks, how far are you from Kings Mountain? A junk yard there has a blue C10 w/ blue steering wheel and most of the trim. I'm over 2 hrs. away.

Re: Project "Irvin"
 

I am a hr north of kings mountain

Re: Project "Irvin"
 

Thanks, I may email you their name and phone #, maybe u know someone who is closer and can look at the parts. I asked them if steering wheel could be restored, but I kept talking to a lady by email, couldn't ever talk w/ her directly. You don't find blue steering wheels everyday. If I move gas tank to where spare tire is, can I gain some more leg room? I'm 6'2", not the most comfortable driving, but I've sat in other C10s w/ more room and the tank was relocated. Thanks again

Re: Project "Irvin"
 

You should gain some leg room. I'll see if I can find some one closer to there

Re: Project "Irvin"
 

Thanks, again. I will look up their name and phone ## when I get home. At work right now.

Re: Project "Irvin"
 

Fenders painted today, hoping to assemble front clip soon

Re: Project "Irvin"
