[fun in dirt]

They amount of body work on a long wheelbase truck is insane ... even one that starts out being relatively straight! (We have concluded that cars are easier to restore than trucks.) So thankful for the many, many hours my husband has put into this already.

Some smaller pieces finished like emblems repainted & turning the cargo light into a 3rd brake light. Seat belts, out of '96 Chevy truck that were gray, dyed. I've learned that lots of time mixing colors to get the perfect brown of Rit dye & then using an aluminum pot will make them green. So green they are & green they'll be!

Big stuff done like bed re-assembled again for 3/4" marine plywood cut, fit & holes drilled, then taken all back apart (the reason cars are easier than trucks). Also epoxy painted it black in prep for future bedliner on it.

The biggest thing done - cab is painted! Painted the white roof & top of doors, then center strip. Waited a week & taped all back up to paint the green. At same time cut in & painted back side of bed panels so all that can be reassembled before final outter paint. This Sherwin Williams G2 paint is the shizzle; lays out slicjk & beautiful!!!
