Re: 1968 Gmc ground up restoration
Worked on the inside of the cab today. We prepped to reapply the epoxy primer, then we applied sand-able primer. Then we applied the sealer all ready to paint the inside on Sunday.

Re: 1968 Gmc ground up restoration
We have been doing some inside rainy day stuff. Rebuilt the passenger wing window and both kick panel vents. Looking for a drivers wing window i broke the post off the bottom trying to remove the nut oops.
