Re: 72 C10 SWB -- Project "KISS"

Re: 72 C10 SWB -- Project "KISS"
 

gas tank ... flip down / stay down license plate .. and up

Re: 72 C10 SWB -- Project "KISS"
 

Rainy day. Here's the finished console... Installed the chrome insert plus I added some woodgrain trim... I plan to have woodgrain glove box door and gauge surround

Re: 72 C10 SWB -- Project "KISS"
 

I like matching things ... woodgrain door lock knobs. 5 bucks on evilBay

Re: 72 C10 SWB -- Project "KISS"
 

More goodies -- Black and White Houndstooth material for the seats...

Re: 72 C10 SWB -- Project "KISS"
 

finished up the gauge cluster and the glove box door... glove box needs an emblem!!

hoping to get some real work done this weekend.

Re: 72 C10 SWB -- Project "KISS"
 

Started tearing into the dash ...

Before

Re: 72 C10 SWB -- Project "KISS"
 

And today's mess... I mean progress... No more cheapo stereo. Nice that the dash is uncut.

I couldn't get the dang ashtray out, it's jerry-rigged in there... Also couldn't get the lighter out...

Dash pad almost off... I'll be pulling the cluster next along with it

Re: 72 C10 SWB -- Project "KISS"
 

The cig lighter just unscrews, if i remember right unplug the wire and just start turning the back side while holding the front. There should be some screws holding the ash tray mount brackets in the back side of the dash

Re: 72 C10 SWB -- Project "KISS"
 

Spent some more time on the dash -- dash pad is out . cluster is now out, although the aftermarket gauges the PO installed are still connected...

Re: 72 C10 SWB -- Project "KISS"
 

also, the fiber optic cable that goes to the cluster was cut...

Re: 72 C10 SWB -- Project "KISS"
 

Also removed the side mirrors and markers / reflectors.

Hopefully next weekend I can get the windows out and the door handles off.

Also need to remove the bumpers and the grill

Slowly getting it ready for paint!!

Re: 72 C10 SWB -- Project "KISS"
 

Found this emblem at the JY. I kinda like it

Re: 72 C10 SWB -- Project "KISS"
 

Slowly chipping away --

Brought my helper out to help me drill all the holes for the trim.

Paint soon I hope

Re: 72 C10 SWB -- Project "KISS"
 

And we dropped the grill and all the trim off to be polished...

Re: 72 C10 SWB -- Project "KISS"
 

I like what you've done so far. I'll follow along.

Re: 72 C10 SWB -- Project "KISS"
 

Thanks. Appreciate the kind words. I'm trying. It's slow goin' !!

Re: 72 C10 SWB -- Project "KISS"
 

Trim is back from polishing.

Re: 72 C10 SWB -- Project "KISS"
 

I carefully taped it all off and then scuffed it up for paint.

I refinished the trim because I wanted OEM, but it's pretty time consuming to try and tape it off exactly like the factory

I painted it today, first black self-etching primer then SEM Trim Black. I'm anxious to see how it turns out!!

Re: 72 C10 SWB -- Project "KISS"
 

drying ...

Re: 72 C10 SWB -- Project "KISS"
 

I'm in, can't wait to see how the trim turns out. What fuel tank are you running?

Re: 72 C10 SWB -- Project "KISS"
 

Thanks!

It's a 68/69 Firebird/Camaro fuel tank. I have nice flip down license plate setup thru the bumper. Just about everything is off now to get it ready for paint

Re: 72 C10 SWB -- Project "KISS"
 

couple pieces done ...

Re: 72 C10 SWB -- Project "KISS"
 

Wow! Those turned out very nice.
