Re: 1972 Chevy Pickup Project.

Awesome, work on all of this, your painter is doing a fine job too. Don't know what your plans are for finishing the console. I think the console would feel better if it was covered in vinyl.....It looks fantastic BTW, I used a hard plastic 1 out of a 90's truck and I am looking for some way to add a pad or cushion. Glove box door works OK but like the rest of your build it's not easy either, I am still trying to get my speedo and gas gauge to work. These gauges are out of 93 Caprice.

I was planning to send my ecm off to LT1swap.com and have them re-program it. Any new updates?

Re: 1972 Chevy Pickup Project.

Well my painter is a complete idiot. I had to fire him and hire a "real" painter.

Re: 1972 Chevy Pickup Project.

The pictures looked good but when you seen it in person there are tons and tons of problems. The more I looked at it the worst it got. The deadlines came and gone many times and nothing ever got done. So I went and picked everything up and found a real painter. The new guy does awesome work. I've already taken a couple other jobs to him to do and he has finished them and they look like new. He already redid my bed and I have it back in my shop and it looks amazing. He has the cab in his working on it as we speak.
