Re: Attempting my first build 72 K5

Sorry for the lack of updates. I'm trying to get the K5 ready to debut at a local car show here in Santa Cruz - Hot Rods on the Beach on Nov 4th

I'll try to recap what has happened in the last 4 weeks with pics and details.

So here goes.

My mother has now officially contributed to the build and one of the most detailed parts I must say.

I took apart my old door panels and used 3M's Rosewood Di Noc vinyl to replace the old grain. This way it matches the steering wheel. I held the heat gun while she carefully laid it down. The corners where really hard to lay flat so we made a slight cut down the apex (edge) of each corner and heated it up to conform together.

I repainted the door panels using OER's paint which said it was specific for GM 67-78 or something like that. Cant remember exactly.
