Re: My '67 Fleetside C10 renew

Kay, just a few things then the pictures!!!!

We now have a hubcap model looking for a job. Anyone hiring? He'll paint his fingernails if needed. He's hard up. That blue $hit they spray on the white letters ain't like it used to be! I scrubbed with hot, soapy water and a brush for EVER and it would NOT come off. I ended up using that kick-a$$ degreaser on a scotch-brite to get the crap off. It's still on the sidewalls. The big-boys didn't even have that crap on them. I also noticed that the "finish" on the letters wasn't as good. They must be making the 295s offshore these days
Got another load dropped off today from GMC Pauls. KILLER STUFF!!! GM certified restoration emblems, their polished stainless threshold plates, killer repro mirror, Precision cab rubber, full dome light kit and some other stuff. Still waiting on my polished stainless outside mirrors, headlight bezels and grille trim. Still have to order my rear cab moulding / paint divider. The truck looks BAD A$$ and the parts I just got are BAD A$$. It's going to look exactly what I wanted it to. 60's muscle!! I'm sooooo stoked to paint this thing and build a nasty little THEE-TWO-SEVEN to bolt that Muncie onto!!!! Historical day today at the house!! It's a roller!

PS. I hadn't gotten around to painting and installing the new tie rods. That sucker was NOT going to just roll out of the shop for photos that way so I had to finger-tight the old greasy $hit on there to get it out. Just pushing it forward ten feet was like SQUEEEEEEEEEEECH! We'll need an alignment
