Re: Project Inline Six
This was my first foray into anything resembling bodywork, and I think I should take a moment to clarify my goals for the aesthetics of this truck.
I wanted to find an old, dented, scratched, dinged, etc truck for this project, but I didn't want any rust. I couldn't find anything that fit the bill that didn't cost an arm and a leg, so I decided to make my own. Now that the rust is fixed, I welded-in all of the holes in the body panels, and put a little skim coat over the welds to help with the low spots. All of the other dents, dings, scrapes, etc are being prepped and left in place. I have no intention of making the body of this truck show-worthy! I want folks to assume this C10 is just a beat-up old survivor. Once it's all the same paint code, I think it will make sense.
