Re: 1969 K10 CST Full Restoration

Had hoped to start early this morning but stuff came up and I didn't get to the shop until mid afternoon. Started loading her up with fluids (some of which quickly found it's way to the floor). I am committed to the tower clamps though these failed me today. As with the Blazer I'll order more and hope for the best.

...As you can see we got the upper belt molding on. Scored a batch of OE clips from Woody (southern parts-thanks!) that we cleaned up and re-used. Eric laid the holes out way back during the pre-fitment days per the assembly manual and the process was pretty uneventful. The threaded clips were tough at the driver's side B-pillar and at the last clip on the front fenders...but we got em on. More tomorrow.

EDIT: I should note that all of our side molding is Mar-K. The profile of the OE fender trim is different from the re-production trim at the door side. It's subtle, but different. We had some decent OE fender trim and originally planned to refinish it in order to have the correct profile there. Part way through the process, we didn't feel like we could get a symmetrical enough appearance to mix and match and elected to just use the reproduction piece.
