Project Z57 (1957 GMC) Back From Media Blast

May 4, 2017 1957 GMC Project LS-Z57, Banner

We picked up the truck from media blast today and to our surprise most of the body was in really nice shape. Well at least the important parts, the back fenders were pretty rough and the doors could use a little work but overall it looks great.
