Re: Blake's 67 GMC stepside build
Pic #1. This was the mock up of the large section for the passenger side.
Pic #2. After it was tacked in place. Pic #3. 2nd view of it tacked in place. If you notice it has holes in it for flange nuts to be welded in for mounting the inner fender. Pic #4. In this shot it shows the upright all repaired just like the Drivers side. Moving on...next up flange nuts and flange. Mark...

Re: Blake's 67 GMC stepside build
Pic #1. The core support is all done and in it's final paint, again going with the Satin black.
Pic #2. another view. Pic #3. Set in place with the inner fenders. Just to recap on the Engine bay: Firewall,under hood, inner fenders and core support will All be Satin Black. Trying to give it a little contrast when you open the Hood. Have not nailed down what all will be done with the Engine yet will figure it out as it progresses. Mark...

Re: Blake's 67 GMC stepside build
So now that the core is finished I will turn my attention to the inside of the cab again. This time the inner roof. The customer is a Big guy and can't use the sun visors so the stock holes will be filled per his request.
Pic #1. Here I'm getting ready to weld up several holes that someone screwed fabric to the back panel years ago. Pic #2. Visor holes welded up. Pic #3. 2nd view. Pic #4. (jumping ahead after bodywork) Sprayed in Epoxy Primer. Pic #5. And finally in H.B. Primer and ready for blocking. Mark...

Yep, nice work Mark. The light shale...was that an original color? It kinda looks like primer and I don't remember seeing it before.

Re: Blake's 67 GMC stepside build
Thank's Doug!
Yes it is a stock GM color and they have a medium and Dark as well. On his interior there will be some dark accent pieces to mix it up a bit. It was an early 2000 model I believe.

Re: Blake's 67 GMC stepside build
I'm going to switch gears a bit here and show the roll pan.
Pic #1. When the pan showed up it wasn't the best looking piece..meaning seams not welded ugly corners etc. So in this shot I welded the seams around the plate box and the ends. Pic #2. I then rounded the corners and will cap them off. (bolt on pan) Pic #3. The mockup piece for the cap. These will add a more finished look to the ends of the pan when mounted. Pic #4. After welding. Pic #5. In Epoxy primer. Mark...
