Cam, nice Corvair, enjoy the new ride, but don't forget the truck.....Jim

Re: '72 C/10 Custom Cruiser Project
 

Thanks Jim. Don't worry, the truck won't be forgotten about, this allow me to spent more time on the truck to try yo do things the right way. Plus the parents won't let me forget about it ;)

Update time. Been getting ready for the Nats this weekend so i did some semi- experimental paintwork on the roof. i thought it looked silly with black and white and rust so i masked and bombed it black, and threw the paint divider stainless back on, i think it looks ok for now ;)

Also did something that i have been wanting to do for a while, with a lot of help from my mom, she had the patience to sit down and mask it all. I Painted the letters on the Tailgate!. i think they look good in orange. ill take a full shot when i get it on tomorrow.

Re: '72 C/10 Custom Cruiser Project
 

cool build! I guess your about my age (im 19) just graudated in 11.

enjoyed reading your build check mine out!

how is that LMC gate compared to the old one (weight)

Re: '72 C/10 Custom Cruiser Project
 

Thanks for dopping in John!, yeah I'm 17 now, 18 in march graduating in 2012

Ive been subscribed to your build since i joined the board!

its hard to tell the exact weight difference since my old gate was filled with mud, but i'd say that the original one is a bit Heaver (thicker) than the repro. its still a good gate though

I think is about time to bring this thread into the new year, so here we go...

First on the list: ACE Chevrolet dealer tags from Sharpie.
there is some grey (primer?) on them but they should clean up nice.

Next, a Package of Parchment goodness. Door panels, seat belts and visors all from Randy (teeitup).

Before cleaning:

After: They still have a few stains here and there, but all in all a big transformation, the look better in person though, the camera kept catching weird shadows.
