Re: Captain America 68 short/fleetside
I replaced the battery today, so i got some decent pictures of the new headlights lit up. I haven't hooked up the daytime running lights yet, but the low and high beams are pretty cool. They're very bright! I also started the truck for the first time since i pulled the old cab off.

Re: Captain America 68 short/fleetside
I got the interior and the shifter installed this past weekend. I even wired up the power bucket seats.
Today, i wanted to see if i could turn a 69-72 fender into a 68 fender. The only difference i can see is the leading edge of the fender around the headlight. If i were a machinist, I'd make left and right end caps, but I'm working with what I've got. - Josh

Re: Captain America 68 short/fleetside
Here's the finished passenger fender. It's going to be flat black, so it doesn't have to be perfect.

Re: Captain America 68 short/fleetside
I got home from work today and filled the badge holes in the new passenger front fender. Then i scuffed the doors, fenders and hood with 400 grit sand paper and sprayed my outline color for the scallops and flames i plan to do on the truck. I'm hoping for decent weather this weekend so i can mask of and stripe out the design and get the flames painted and masked off.

Re: Captain America 68 short/fleetside
The flames coming from behind the scallops are laid out with 1/8 inch pinstripe tape.

Re: Captain America 68 short/fleetside
After cutting the tips off the flames and establishing the dominance of the flames over the scallops, I faded the flames as best i could using the light from my cell phone since the sun called it a day.
