Sorry but you're wrong.

My 87 SWB. Really doesn't need much. Some Rally wheels and I will be happy with it. It will need a paint refresh at some point in the future, but any upgrades will be strictly limited to making it better to drive ie. power braking stopping without taking away from the originality.
My 90 K5. Not really a restoration, but more like a resto mod on this one. It will need paint sooner than later at least on the hood. This one I want to do 2-3" of lift and a classic style aluminum wheel (MT classics) or something similar and 33s. It needs a 700R4 pretty badly, but otherwise just a super clean driver with a little lift is the plan with it. Nothing that couldn't easily be returned to stock.
My 89 V3500
Needs paint BADLY, motor, tires, wheels, general clean up, all new grey interior.

Started on this last week. Hoping to have it wrapped up in January. Pretty solid body. Found a lovely surprise when the top came off. Some pretty serious rust around the windshield frame. Removed the spare tank fillers and filled the holes. I found two NOS fenders on eBay and one got banged up bad by FedEx that needed some love. All in all it’s going well. 3 days progress shown here. The rust is gone, seams are sealed, and the epoxy is on.
hey craig, what is the product you are using in the tube? panelbond?

Still have a few loose ends to tie up at and I’ll have this one done.
finished the burb a few month ago.
Does a GMC count?
@blackhemirt love the burban. Like how you did the fogs below, well executed

Just finishing up second restro. Repainted GM 72 Corvette Bryar Blue. Bedliner sprayed engine compartment, rock sliders, winch bumper and tire carrier. Replaced front/back carpet, headliner, repainted remaining interior panels, new stereo/speakers, LED light conversion, just general cleanup. Prior restro/rebuild added the 4" lift ( ORD shackles, Shackle Flip, superlift front springs, Doestech extended shocks/front towers and rear inboard setup/brake lines), 4:56 gears/Tru-Trac, 35" tires).
Thanks alot!
Just picked this up last weekend, from the looks of all the old mud dobber nests on the intake manifold, I have to assume it has been sitting a while. It has some of the usual rust and the interior is a total re-do. It was in the high desert of CA so the top is showing fiber and will probably need a top/ gel coat or Line-X. I will post up more as I go.
