My only New Years resolution is.... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

To finish this darn truck, aaaaahhhhh. My goal is to have it painted by the end of Feb so it will be ready by car show season.

I made that same reso for the past 4 years. BUTTTTTT this years is the one.

Looking great so far...I can understand when someone restores their truck from the ground up that they don't want to drive it all the time, it's hard to keep one all spit shined up...

Okay, you have one year, or else! :-)

I see what the problem is!... Look at those door gaps, way too nice. Building a new truck on your own, probably better than the way it came from the factory...Awesome attention to detail....Good things take time...Carry on.

Ok were beyond the end of February so where are we at? I bet we are running neck to neck again. Mark

Like all deadlines I am running behind. I never thought I would have to blocksand the entire truck 4 times though. I am ready to hit it with 600 wet so I am getting closer, also I am on my way to the players today to pick up my front bumper and nos guards. I did get my seat recovered for an HVAC service trade though, just have to let it sit out in the sun and dewrinkle.

LT1 Burb · 03-02-2016, 08:59 AM

On and on it goes.

LT1 Burb · 03-02-2016, 09:00 AM

It's not perfect but it was free so no complaints.

TJ's Chevy · 03-02-2016, 01:23 PM

I didn't even make a resolution. I'm gonna get as much done on my truck as I can and be happy. lol

It's looking great. I am just a tick ahead as mine is painted and glass installed but not polished sanded yet. Then I am back to painting the bed wood and getting the box on. But you have done a fine job there. Mark
