It was on when you were at the shop but I only had temporary screws holding it into place, I wanted under the cowl to be protected with something that would hold up so I cleaned it up good and brushed it with por 15 good and heavy. Plus I am going to modify a drain to come out under the cab to prevent getting clogged and running down into the inner side of the fender.

Re: 68 project

Hopefully tomorrow will be a big day for "Project 68". I plan to sandblast some more parts which include the cross braces for the bed and get a coat of POR-15 on those and finish up the other tub and work on the gate some more. Seeing it is going to be warm tomorrow I can shoot some primer on the bedsides also

Stay tuned for some update photos tomorrow

Re: 68 project
