nothing big. just minor details.
and of course, i had a few beers just staring at this gappy GMT800 platform. Big ol gaps everywhere and then i notice the top of the headlight light colored plastic always showing through where everything is dark.



so i just taped that edge off. degreased,scuffed and sprayed it.



better

Yeah the gaps definitely give me a chuckle every time I focus on them. I have a lot of family that work in the GM factories. Back in 07 I remember conversations about how strict they got with specs. They constantly had people running around with gauges to check body lines and gaps. They are obviously much better now but I love your idea!

I never did see anything about your door jambs, underhood, etc when you painted but did you paint them too or are they still pewter? I've seen it done both ways.

nope. didnt do jambs or underhood etc.. i will in a couple months. The pewter actually jives pretty good with the grey interior. at least the jambs arent red or pink or some crazy contrasting color. i'll probably wet sand it in like a month or so and then get to the door jambs etc soon after.

it just hit me.. "jambs" is a weird word

Harbor Freight had a pretty good sale today. So i had to roll into town and grab a couple good deals.
Brought the camera and snapped a couple pics at a few random areas in Yuma.

At the Yuma Historical Prison. This wall behind me was constructed in the late 1800's



just because.. colours



at the "Ocean to Ocean Bridge" built in 1915 and crosses the Colorado River. It's only one lane so traffic has to wait for each batch of vehicles before they cross opposite directions.



backed inside of a passenger tunnel at the Amtrak station



up on a big ridge with a nice backdrop of trees
