Re: '69 C10 - Black on Black

Making good progress despite the heat.

Had a local metal fab shop bend up a piece of aluminum to secure the top of the electric fans.

Also applied filler to the hood. Nothing too major, except the two big circled areas that are oil canning and are currently huge low spots. If I put my hand underneath and lift gently, it looks pretty good. I've done a little research and heard of guys adding braces to add some structure to these hoods, but I'm open to any suggestions. Also considering replacing the pads between the braces and hood skin, but that might not address these low spots and lift up the spots under the braces too much.

Also rebuilt the vent windows, loaded the doors, and installed the head unit and ignition.
