Holy crap that's an awesome rig! You do nice work!

Where'd you get those indicator lights in the gauge cluster, if you don't mind me asking?

got off my ass today and RE-did a first coat. funny how body filler works best with hardener. next time read the instructions and don't go off what the guy behind the counter says.... tomorrow a second coat and it should be ready for some finally sanding.

thank you.

so nothing too spectacular. I should have taken pics in the sun. maybe tomorrow. rough sanded the doors and taped up the truck except for the windshield area. body lines match up nice and I'm hoping to see some paint next week.

got some more done today. door jambs and front fenders and the last of the body filler (I hope) done. I'm hoping tomorrow that the bed, doors, and door jambs get finish sanded.

didn't get much done today. way too much wind to deal with. I did get the blue applied though.

so I got home from work and the day was gorgeous so I decided to paint the hood, cowl, hood hinges and louvers. all turned out great except the hood, I didn't prep that well at all. I don't know how I missed it but it looks like ass. I taped off the doors so I will paint those after the hood is done and I have the stencils/decals.

The body work and paint coming along great. Even for a Ricer, at least it's Chevy powered and hand built in Merica now. :waytogo:
