fenders are on, currently working on filling the dings and pinholes in the hood... hopefully will be able to paint within the next few weeks.

thanks guys, need to do some sanding and a final 2nd coat... maybe tuesday.

i sprayed the doorhandles because the chrome was all pitted anyway. don't really like it with black handles, so i'll have to find some other ones to use. also i picked up some 67 door panels, a correct (but beat up) seat, along with new clear tail lights and side marker lamps.

currently debating maybe a red stripe on the high trim line... hrmmm....

after the second coat it looks a tad streaky in sunlight still... ah well... might give it a top coat of rattle can just to get that out of it. ive always had better luck with blitz black in the can opposed to spraying it by the quart. btw 2 quarts pretty much did the whole truck. about $30.

You gonna put bed liner in it? I just put the duplicolor roll in bed liner in mine and it turned out nice! For a long bed the Gallon kit it comes with did the entire inside of the bed and tailgate!

Just gonna spray it then? Or gonna leave it and cover it up?

i have a bed mat to put in, which just leaves the sides. i'll probably rattle can it for now, maybe bed liner down the road, i don't know... it's not a high priority right now.

last night i picked up some doorhandles off craigslist for $15. i like it a lot better now.... it's really starting to take off now that i'm getting some of the little pieces put back on...

no plans to lower it, as i need it to haul my trailer.

i think it actually has about 2" of body lift judging by how far i had to relocate the bumper mounts to make everything line up.

i don't have any pics of it. basically looks like a large hinge was made out of a 3" diameter pipe, tucked up under the tailgate. when i go to remove it maybe i'll snap a few pics.

as soon as i get tires, they'll be on it...
seat cover has been ordered, black and red to match of course... but thats all i'm saying 'till it shows up and i can get it installed. trust me, it's gonna make this thing look like a million bucks :)

tonneau cover is also on the way, though i think i may give the inside of the bed a coat of red paint before i install it...

Re: '72 c-20 rat build
 
You order that from the guy on Ebay? Just curious. I think I've seen his stuff before, looks nice! Thought about ordering myself one and matching door panels. ;)

Re: '72 c-20 rat build
 
yup, http://www.ricksupholstery.com... it was more than i really wanted to spend, but i figured it would really make a perfect finishing touch so i went with it.

slick copper 10-29-2011 02:35 PM

Re: '72 c-20 rat build
 
Yup, that's what I thought. Looks like nice stuff, the colors'll definately compliment your truck. You'll have to let me know what you think of it after you get it installed and use it for a while.
