Re: Yet another GMC build

"I've been roughing in the cowl once I got the louvers removed and smoothed. Got to tell you it sucks. It's still not where I want it after 4 hours of trying to finish it with bondo. It's curved on two different planes and hard to sand with any conventional sander. You get one area right and you've taken too much out somewhere else."

Great truck build. There is a lot that can be taken away from your accomplishment. Thinking about what will work to improve your truck without going to catalogs and just buying the parts needed is inspirational. The tips on the wiper motor and electric fan are two good examples.
I have a question on how you filled in the cowl vent area. Did you just hammer the vents smooth and then weld or did you approach it by removing the louvers and adding material. It looks cool and I’d like to try that on my 55 GMC.
