Well, its been too long since I posted anything about the truck. Doing three full restorations takes its toll on me and then it seemed like months of spraying three to four bedliners a week would never end. So one project is done and gone the other only needs to be fired up and its done too. I'll post pics of both next week.


Now about my truck...The hood, engine compartment and front wheel wells have been cleaned and sprayed with that undercoating I love so much. The outside portion of the roof is sprayed with it as well and then painted with more gloss black. I pulled the seat and stock tank out and I am masking the inside of the cab for undercoating and the lower half of the door as well. Then both will get painted but I'm not sure which base color yet the black or slate gray.
Once that's done I might spray the back of the cab to further insulate the cab from the weather and road noise Then I can finish sanding the drivers side and the body will be ready for the pearls and rootbeer candy.

I have a rear bumper now, its flat like a roll pan but made of steel diamond plate. I'm modifying the shape since this was on a 59 Apache then spray it with Ultimate Liner since that's what we use now.

Lastly, I've got my CL score. A set of 18" X 8.5" 8 lug rims with the right bolt pattern and backspacing for $350.00. If the chrome doesn't clean up like I want I will candy them too.

Pics very soon, I promise.
