Re: My 1970 GMC “Project Splice”
Been awhile since I posted on your build. It's looking good so far. A new/bigger shop to work in is gonna be nice. Have the builder put in tall side walls for when you add that lift for your oil changes. Tell the wife you can sell your creeper :)

The truck is looking great!
Yes you 100% want a lift. Any time I have to do maintenance on my cars I take them to work and use the lift. It will spoil you but is a great investment. |

I feel like its been forever since I've done anything on the truck. I also feel like it's been far to long with no post here. Unfortunately I don't really have any progress to report other than the truck nested away in the back of the sea can. I realise it was probably not smart to put a foosball table on the hood but I didn't have room for it anywhere else. The hood already needs some work so I'm sure it won't be the end of the world.

And with that, it is official. No work will be happening on the truck now until I can get it into the new garage. I'm guessing it will be about 2 years at least before it gets there. It is going to suck not being able to do anything for that long but it is going to be so nice to have the new shop. All I can do now is hope and pray that I don't end up with a bunch of surface rust on all the bare metal areas of the cab. It's been sitting in my garage for years with bare metal and I have hardly seen any surface rust so hopefully the sea can will be no different. Although my garage was heated and the sea can is not.....
Still needing to finish up some things around the house and finish moving the rest of our stuff out before we sell. I'll try not to be too much of a stranger around here. Thanks everyone for following along this far. :metal: |

It's kind of the worse of 2 evils. Rust or sand the filler later. I have been in the same place just not to your extent. I have a tenancy to overthink some stuff also;) |
Re: My 1970 GMC “Project Splice”
Sorry to see this back burnered but I do hope you have some decent ventilation in the sea-can as they can produce condensation inside like crazy as the temperatures swing and the seasons change.

The house is sold! We will breaking ground on the new one in the spring when the ground thaws. I am working on a rendering of the new house. The green shows up disgusting on here. I promise it won't be that gross when we build. :lol:
