Nearing the end of phase 1.
The truck will leave here to have glass put in, front end aligned and A/C system charged. Hopefully during that time I will get the '62 Chevy Truck painted and out of here.
Then this truck will come back so I can recover the seat and installed the wooden bed, fuel filler neck and knock out a punch list.

Coronet, how do you rate tamco clears and primers against **********. cost, spray ability, buff ability and durability, thanks.

I like them both.
The Tamco products for the most part are slightly less expensive and it helps support Chris and AB101 so I have been trying to use more of them lately.
The Tamco Euro clear cures very hard. Trying to buff it after a few weeks proves to be a difficult job.

Installed the doors yesterday. Working on getting hardware and seals on now.
Owner will pick it up today and then it will come back for final work on interior and bed.

Looks great man. The gaps look nice in the pictures and thats saying a lot about these trucks. The doors fit horrible from the factory. Nice job

Yeah, I fought those doors a long time to get them that close. Even then they're not perfect.

That would have to be done by someone else. My artistic ability struggles drawing stick figures. :cry:
