FINALLY!!!
Got it painted. http://s729.photobucket.com/home/BIGCHEVY3600/recentuploads Four months in the shop and it's all painted (will clear coat and buff next week) except for a few interior pieces that need to wait until the windshields and other interior parts are installed. The doors, fenders, runingboards, hood, and bed sides and tailgate are painted. Next we will install the windshield, (windscreen for Jock), rear window, newly finished upholstered Wiseguys seat,the new steering wheel,the Lokar shifter, the side windows and vent windows. I will also reroute the windshield drain under the dash and out at the right wheel rather than let it drip on my HEI. Then the moment of truth. My 350 (330 hp) which has not been started since I bought it in the summer of 06 will crank up.
Then we will go get exhaust installed and install the electric wipers, the radio and the dash trim. Then it's back to the upholstery shop for carpet. The evaporator for the Vintage Air will have to wait until next spring. Until then we'll be a bit chilly. The Bed will be last. It's a Mar-K and I have already put the sandpaper to the wood. After we mock it up we will break it down and finish the wood and then put it back together.
All in all I think it should be ready for show sometime next spring.
Whew...
