Looking good there Jimmy. I especially like the chord at the front showing the block heater option. It is going to be very nice.

So the Grill on my 67 Canso SD was done yesterday ,today i had the Acadian Grill  emblem repainted to make it look as new as i can make it for a 46 year old part,I now masked off the painted emblem so i can clear coat it (the latex model paint ) and not mess up the mint paint job of the color behind it .I will clear coat the emblem the bake it at 270 preheated and oven off at home .I will post before and after pics in about 30 min .

Looks like you are getting to the final touches, the ones where you need all the patience. Keep it up, looks great. That Chevygirl even likes it Jimmy so that is an endorsement on your work.

Thanks jmont64 (Jerel) so here is a few more pics so all of you who are following this build can see the work being done .I striped down a 66 seat so i can do two things to it ,have it sand blasted and weld in a rod so it will be a 67 seat by Sat.The frame is at by buddy Troys place who owes The Sandman sand blasting ,ill pick it up tomorrow and paint it Satin Black before it goes to the upholstery shop next week.I also took all the dents out of the front bucket seat metal and primed them ,i will shoot them Satin black today and post pics later of them painted.Cheers Jimmy.i found another SATAN error ,LMAO.
