Re: 68 project

Seam sealed the whole inside of cab and most of the outside, sprayed most of the inside with dupli color paintable undercoat. Real close to finishing all the body work on the cab also should be able to prime it out this week and hopefully color coat it.

Re: 68 project

Ordered my 6" Hotchkiss drop springs for the back, hoping this puts me where I want to be. Should be here for the weekend. Work is wide open right now so not to sure I will hit the goals I had in mind for this week.
