Re: Project “Double Tap” (rebirth of a 1970 c30)

Thanks guys.

I'm slowly working on hand buffing the paint. It's coming out pretty good, it's just a very slow and tedious job. There's a good amount of 48-year old duct tape around the back window that's a real pain. But overall the paint is coming to life really well.

Here are a few minor updates (it's all about the little details).

My son was in charge of the cab roof lights. No cracks and the bulbs all work!

I thought the hood emblem was done for, but I learned these have a plastic bowtie insert, which I painted to match the grille inserts and soon-to-be black bumper...
