Re: 1969 K10 CST Full Restoration

Just odds and ends tonight. The electrolysis tank does a pretty good job of pushing off paint as well as rust. Here you can see the orange and the underlying factory medium olive coming off the mirror arms. It definitely eases the cleanup a bit. Minimal drama on the install of the mirrors tonight. Also got the console and seats mounted (save for a few bolts because we ran short). As recommended on the board and as we did for the Blazer, a soldering iron is a great way to punch the carpet holes and keep bolts and screws from winding up the fibers. Also as with the Blazer, I elected to go with a later style three point seat belt set up. We bought them through Seat Belts Plus and got the new buckles that mimic our style. I did spend some time looking for original belts, but in the end I didn't have it in me to find a date correct set and then have them rebuilt. I also know I wouldn't wear 'em if I did--these I will. It's an easy enough add later if it becomes an issue.
