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

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

[Bhelton]

Morning boredom

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

[preacher anthony]

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.

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

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.

I am a hr north of kings mountain

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
