Beautiful 1961 Chevrolet Corvair Rampside Pickup Truck. This truck has gone through a very extensive restoration and is truly a wonder!! I will attempt a complete description with all work performed in no particular order.Body Exterior: paint stripped, metal repaired where needed, floated primer, blocked BC/CC,cut and buffed. It is a custom light gray paint with a slight pearl sprayed into the clearcoat.Truck bed has a two-part bed liner. (Bedliner has a couple of small bloopers, tailgate top has one small crack less than one inch long, this can be repaired) Left rear panel has very slight color discoloration and could probably be color sanded out. Very slight and most don't even see this unless I point it out to them.Body Interior: paint stripped, blocked primer and single stage urethane 2K paint. Dash painted, headliner painted.
