Made some progress on the front end this week. I took apart the grill and found the nose of the grill had up to 1” of filler in it. I sanded it out and spent some time with the hammer and dolly to get it in better shape. I put some filler back and painted it up. The front grill on the 54-55 is pretty big and wanted to shrink it up so to speak, so I patina painted the lower section and painted the remainder with a metallic silver for contrast. I think it looks really good!
I did lots of painting today -underside of hood (gloss black) -front apron and license plate mount(patina) -front bumper (gloss black) -speaker grill, ashtray and glovebox (bronze)
Need to let them cure then get them put on the truck. I have plenty to do until then so I can continue to make progress.
