Re: 1968 GMC "Camillian"

I haven't been able to work on the truck for a while again because of the SEMA deadline on a car at work, then playing catch up on the other cars at work that we put on hold for the SEMA car. I did manage to get an afternoon in on Christmas Eve to do some more work on the tailgate. Sprayed polyester primer on it and have it about ready for urethane primer then paint.

Re: 1968 GMC "Camillian"

Extra long overdue update, its a little frustrating that my iphone or the site wont allow mobile uploads, so I finally had some time to copy the pictures from my phone and get some on here. There has been a bunch more bodywork and sanding, which doesn't always look like a lot in pictures. I also installed roll pans on either end, and went about making the '68 Camaro bumpers fit, I ended up using two back bumpers and one front bumper to make them wide enough to fit the truck. I also set the bed on momentarily so I could get a feel for what everything is going to look like. After I was satisfied with the rear roll pan and bumper, I pulled the bed and sprayed the final coat of primer before paint.I will leave the rest to pictures...maybe more than one post of pictures to get caught up.
