Nice work throughout the whole build. I can appreciate how long it takes to get some of these things done! Rg

Re: "Midnight Rider" 1970 C10 SWB Fleetside
I was organizing some parts related to the windshield washer/wiper system. I realized during this, that the hole in firewall for the washer hoses was accidentally deleted. Fortunately, it is still very apparent where the hole is suppose to be. A one inch hole saw made quick work of it. I'm glad to not be in a rush and have extra time to find things like this.

Re: "Midnight Rider" 1970 C10 SWB Fleetside
I noticed the first time the cab was on the rotisserie that there were a few areas that were going to be hard to prep for paint. One of the areas is where the floor pans meet the weather-strip. There is a pretty good recess there that makes it hard to get anything in there to prep the surface. The other area is on the underside in the back where the rear crossmember meets the back panel. Again, this area is recessed and it's hard to get anything in there to prep the surface. What could be reached, got sanded and a wire wheel was used to get the rest. Also, sanded some factory undercoating off of the front side of the rear crossmember.
To protect these surfaces, we sprayed a rust encapsulator from Eastwood.

Working on the inside of the cab. Found some areas that needed a little massaging. Final sanding other other areas, getting ready for paint. Soooo close now...
