Pulled the cab and doors off the chassis and set it on a dolly I made. Then transported it to paint jail.

OK will allow you to use an old license plate. You have to get a "real" tag and keep it in the truck w/you. It costs $21.50 to use the old one.

Nice. Go to their website and they'll let you post before/after pics. I sent them some a couple weeks ago, but haven't checked the site.

More pics.... Was quite a bit of decay along the bottom of the skin so had my upholstery guy sew a strip along the bottom. I thought the mismatching colors was better than a ragged finish.

I glued the skin to a metal door panel. The wrinkles are from where the foam separated from the vinyl and I did not peel all that off from the backside of the skin to reglue it. I did it on the driver side door skin, and it's a miserable job. There's the vinyl, the foam and then the paper, and the foam/paper is heat sealed to the embossed areas on the door panel. Hard to explain.

I need some matching color estucheons!!

Hood. Not sure if I'm going to be able to save it, or have to get it repainted..... I did the passenger side and it came out OK. The spots that have paint on them shine like new. Found myself buffing a lot of black primer to a shine.... Very delicate balance to get the dead paint off to find some that I can work, without going all the way to the bare metal.

Rear sport bumper. Patina truck needs a patina bumper, although am toying w/putting a new one on.

My little helper in the lower left on the 1st picture.

Polishing up my bed strips in anticipation of the new boards

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

Just about the prettiest thing on these trucks is a refinished wood floor bed w/the stainless strips.
