That really brings back memories, your truck's looking really good...

57FleetsideC4 · 04-14-2021, 09:30 AM

Cab looks real nice. like yo follow the progress. Steve

**slammed57** · 04-19-2021, 08:35 PM

I saw this nicer looking aluminum stock for the dash trim, So I redid it from the 1/4" half round stock. This lets you run LED lights behind it (which I think really looks nice)
I shaped the ends to a spear sanded 320-100- grit , polished and then shaped it to the contour of the dashPosted via Mobile Device

**youngrodder** · 04-20-2021, 08:54 AM

Very slick detail...

my56chevytruck · 04-20-2021, 09:24 AM

nice job as I assumed from you. The details are outstanding. Those led light chrome trim is very cool. How do you run power to them? I assume they're on 12 volt? Looks good, and the weather here today is SNOW!!

Jason 56 · 04-20-2021, 11:11 AM

I like it! Is you instrument cluster also red?

Thanks Morrie.. its a cool 90 and humid as hell down here, push some of that cold down here lol

Jason 56 · 04-20-2021, 02:49 PM

Oooh... now I really like it. I was already looking at that trim in blue to match a blue instrument cluster! We’ll see.

61_FL_Apache · 05-07-2021, 01:22 PM

Excellent build! I will be following along.

dsraven · 01-02-2022, 08:54 PM

i have had succes with an office eraser as a small sanding block

**slammed57** · 01-02-2022, 08:55 PM

Getting closer for some color, a few coats of poly and then work through the grits

62 Barnfind · 01-03-2022, 06:44 PM

Looking good! I finally put a coat of primer on my 57 this week. Now I’ll be sanding for a while until I get it straight!

Jason 56 · 01-03-2022, 10:48 PM

Great progress…it’s coming along. I’m hoping to start laying mud soon myself. Not my favorite step in the project

BIGglaSS · 01-09-2022, 12:16 PM

Looking good. Did you decide on final paint?

It's looking good. All the sanding makes the finished product in the end. What are you using for poly? Steve

**slammed57** · 01-22-2022, 10:58 AM
