Re: '69 GMC Build Thread.

well, we got 'er sprayed!

i have some touch up left to do. due to the warm weather, there was a swarm of lady bugs that appeared...so..they decided that my paint was a nice place to land. needless to say, i have to wet sand it out a bit and such.

but, alas! i'm happy.

and now...pics!

the white cab.



Hood..





Dad hard at work..



Bed.





cowl.



and the cab.



and. i know the bed sides aren't straight. or the doors. or the fenders. BUT! i'm alright with that. it does me no good just sitting in the garage in pieces, while i sand away body filler, my mind and sanity and money into a fine powdery dust. SO.

i have a bit left to do, aside from touch ups. bolt the headers on, and get the exhaust routed, check the brakes, bolt it together. . i'm very pleased with it.


whatcha think??

total cost:

Paint/Primer: ~$40.
Thinner: ~$12.
Sanding discs: ~$12.
Paint Gun: ~$20.

so. total. $84. . not too shabby.

Let's Hear It!
