50 Chevy Truck Body Progress

October 13, 2016 1950 Chevy Truck, Banner

We finally got back to work on the 1950 Chevy 5 window truck project this week. Today Dennis spent a bunch of time prepping the majority of the body panels for some Slicksand high build primer. Dennis put down about 3/4 of a gallon and it is now drying overnight before he starts to do some block sanding.

This truck is going to look great and it should blow away Gas Monkey Garage’s old Chevy (3 window) truck that they just sold for $150,000 🙂

Tonight I will move onto doing some work getting the chassis ready to drop the body on once it is painted.
