Default Re: My 1960 GMC 1000 Build Journal - Feb 2022

The front fenders, inner fenders and core support, along with all the rest of the bed cross sills are as you see the grill support - blasted and allowed PURPOSEFULLY to rust. Cab floor was allowed to rust where you see it in the door opening but the rest looks OK maybe. The bed, which was alleged by the shop owner as "ready to paint" appears to have been sprayed in maybe a high build primer and has indeed been worked to some degree because it does appear straight, but it was straight as an arrow to begin with so dunno if anything to be excited about was done or not. Does make me greatly concerned if he says its ready to paint and I see all the rust coming through his material along the bottom edges and inside where they didn't spray correctly
