Re: Overhaulin' my 68
I love it. Nice job on the oaint. You also helped me make a decision on my 67. I was going back and forth on what to do with my guage panel. Seeing yours made up my mind to spray it. Thanks and you have an awesome truck. Take care.

Re: Overhaulin' my 68
I really like the way it turned out too. The chrome was wrinkled and peeling. I used my little hand held spot blaster with baking soda took the chrome and paint off and didn't distort the plastic at all. Alot easier than trying too sand it.

Re: Overhaulin' my 68
That's the plan. I just need to figure out what kind of mirrors to go with.

Re: Overhaulin' my 68
I do like that paint job, very nice. The way you did your resto is the correct way. I see a lot of people take a few short cuts in the resto department, but you did not. Nice job.....
