Re: '68 c10 build
After seeing your's I might have to paint mine blue, and white, when I get it done.

Today we installed the grille. I'm glad we painted it white. The trim, emblem, and lights are all on order.

This picture doesn't show up real well but we painted the lower splash panel body color as well. I think it looks better than black and now I don't want to cover the open area on top.

While I was taking pictures today, I couldn't resist snapping a few of the motor. It looks right at home.

Re: '68 c10 build
Wow nice work. I really like the color choice.

Re: '68 c10 build
So how much drop did you end up with in the front?

Re: '68 c10 build
Are you planning to drive it on New Mexico roads with a 6" drop? You are much braver than I.

We're all paved in Albuquerque, too, but my Corvette bottomed out regularly on some of the city streets, and it was stock height. I think Albuquerque streets are probably the worst in the state, though.

No really cool updates lately. We did get the wiper arms installed, new motor, sprayer lines, and cover all installed (waiting on weatherstripping). I also mounted the windshield fluid container, batter box, and brake pedal. I started building a bracket for the DBW gas pedal to go in as well and the power steering lines should be done today. I plan to order a radiator and column this afternoon.

I'm clearly no fabricator, but today I finished my bracket for the DBW throttle pedal. It came out pretty decent. The positioning seems spot on and the bolts on the firewall are perfectly symmetrical and look pretty clean.

We also got the power steering all buttoned up. We did all our own bending on the lines and these still cost $193.00 bucks! Complete scam, if you ask me.

The hood also went into primer for the first time. Still a lot of work left to do on it but it's progress.

I got the grille trimmed out this morning. Waiting on lights still.

We also decided on blue for the interior. I think I will most likely use a blue houndstooth cover for the factory bench seat. Anyway, I installed the dash pad this morning. I think it blends very well with the factory blue paint.

I got the headlights and side markers installed today. I went with the "euro" style on both.
