Re: 1968 C10 Stepside Restoration Project
So I realized that the dash was sitting off to the side, and that need a crap load of work. Decades of dings, scratches, and general abuse required me to invest some elbow grease to get it to where it would look presentable.
I used a wire wheel on the old hand grinder and went to town...I had to go all the way to bare metal due to all the rust. I think the rust was due to my father-in-law washing out the interior with a hose - true story. He would open both doors and blast all the dirt and crap out from one side out through the other door.
Anyway, I digress...once cleaned-up, I primed with etching primer, then started going over it with filler-primer. Spray, sand, clean, spray, sand, clean...did that 4 times. The dash is as smooth as a baby's butt. Got dings out that have been there for 40+ years. I bet this will look great when painted.
