Re: 68 C10 SBSS build - start to finish


Holy guacamole, Steve. Looked at your build thread on Jezebel and realized I've been whining way too much! If I'd faced that much with mine, I'd still be sitting in a corner with my head in my hands. Great job so far!

After deciding to repair my cowl, I started by sectioning off the passenger side where the fan blower sits. This gave me the access I needed to repair or replace the internal rainwater diverters and fix the rusted areas on the inner cowl. I had that outer cowl piece on and off so often I could almost do it with my eyes closed.

With the firewall out of the way, I also repaired the dash where the radio fit. The PO had hacked it out to fit a DIN-1 stereo. I wanted to go back with a stock appearing radio so I grafted in pieces from a donor. Also, since I didn't need the ashtray, I removed its guts to make way for an eBay sourced, retracting cupholder from a Geo Prizm.
