Looks really nice!

Re: 72 Plaid Sub
 

👍🏾 Lookin good! Did you actually find a lift gate clean enough to go right into prep/paint with? I saw your original was pretty rusty, but don't remember seeing a good shot of the replacement.

Re: 72 Plaid Sub
 

I wish! LOL. I don't think there's a hatch or gate out there in that good of condition anymore. I had to rebuild both inside corners of the hatch, and a couple of other small patches. As for the gate, I had to re-skin most of the outside. It had been hit before I got it and had about 1/2" of body filler in it.

Re: 72 Plaid Sub
 

:lol: You're probably right about the hatches - I was thinking maybe you had the connect. Strong work on the repair though!

It's looking 🔥🔥🔥 to me! How are you feeling about the decision to paint it yourself? Any new thoughts?

Oh man! That blue really sets off the engine and suspension. ������������

Re: 72 Plaid Sub
 

Prep for paint has been a ton of work for 1 guy, but it's going good so far.

Re: 72 Plaid Sub
 

Hatch repair looks good !!!! ..... Nice work !

Re: 72 Plaid Sub
 

Glad to be back at it. The more progress I make, the more motivation it gives me to get it finished and enjoy it.

Thanks LockDoc

Thank you

I love the blue. I sprayed about 6 different colors before deciding on that one.

Thank you

Your project looks amazing! Building a burb is like building 2 trucks at one time...:crazy:....

Re: 72 Plaid Sub
 

Thanks! I don't know what I was thinking! Looking forward to building another truck after this one for sure.
