Re: 1959 GMC 9310 Canadian built Shortbox Fleetside Deluxe

Managed to get a lot done during my trip home to help Ken with the 59.
We centered the visor and got it screwed in place temporarily.

I sanded with 320 the Varathane Clear oil into the elm and it blew my mind at just how much the natural oil brought out the natural colors of the wood. No clear coat will ever be applied to this wood. Once a year I will grab a rag and apply some more and it will always look fabulous.

The Five Star DTM high build primer in white flowed out nicely and sands like butter. Sprayed the under side of the hood, the rear fender tubs and the grill support panel. I found a grill support panel that was nearly perfect, so I am going to use it instead of the original one that had some rust. I used the DBX metal blaster to strip it and it worked awesome for getting all the nooks and crannys abraided.
