semi-ratty 51 Chevy Fleetliner

[CB]

Finally got around to putting the finishing touches on my 51 Fleetliner

AMT Classic. Removed trim and drilled trim mounting holes (a little too big, but

did want to see them), added air valves to rims, sanded Fire-year or Good-stone

stuff off tires and hand painted the wide whites. Cut center of grille out and

replaced with sheet metal 'teeth'. Distressed remaining chrome. Was gonna do

the BMF on the window & door trim, but chickened out (I think I just got off my

meds at the time ) and just painted them silver chrome. Paint is hodgepodge

of black laquer primer, then some flat red, then more black which I indiscriminately

sanded off to reveal the red.

Glad it's done. Now I can move on

The teeth scream "Animal House"!!

Yeah, the holes for the trim might be a little big, but back then they needed a bit of extra room to align the body panels and the trim...

Thanks for sharing,

I wondered what happened t0 that one. Sits nice and looks great. Love the distressed bumpers and "personal touch" on the grill.
