Re: 1968 GMC - Ol' Blue

And the hood is painted. It's finally hit me that it's almost done. As usual, I forget to stop and take pictures.

Also got the emblems on which was a lot of work. The cheesy little nuts that are used to attach them didn't want to thread on, so we used a die to put actual threads on the studs and mount them with nylocs. My first attempt was to use 3M double-sided tape, but the way these emblems are molded there just isn't much flat area for adhesion. We ended up taking the inner fenders off and even then I could barely reach to get the nuts started. Lesson learned - apply the fender emblems before mounting the outer fender.

I've got a sway bar on the way and next weekend should be able to put that and the hood on and a few finishing touches and take it home.
