Thread: 1972 Chevy K30 Longhorn Build

Tweet

It's time to give an update on the saga of projects I have been working on. June was a blur. I've been dealing with getting all the parts ordered for that 7.3 build, got it drug to my house and now the owner wants me to paint the entire chassis and engine compartment. I got the parts to get my other excursion put back together. New head lights, a dented up bumper I straightened, sanded , and painted, the old grill from Allyson's excursion, misc clips, screws and bolts, and a power window motor. I got a new to it header panel. It was broke on the LH side. I had to cut out a lot to get the new head lights to fit it. So after I made the alterations, I fiber glassed the header panel and painted it gloss black. I painted the new ford LH front fender for it, sealed it first. I just used single stage as I need to shoot some stuff with base clear to get used to spraying it. This fender turned out pretty nice. It has some orange peel, but no runs. That was my main concern. I'm no pro painter and just learning as I go. Now I need to find the time to work on getting this thing stuck together.
