Got some pics of my truck bed from my son. I told him that I would like it to be about the same color as before and with about the same gloss, so he had the paint mixed with 25% gloss. Here's some pics in the booth. He can do show quality paint jobs but that's not what I want. It had some primer spots where the paint had worn through on some of the horizontal surfaces before and he said he could air brush them back on if I want him to. I'm undecided about that.

Looks good the way it is, primer and patina are slowly going south.

after a couple of weeks of working on my daily driver ( heater core went south on me) I am back to the death rattle. I ordered the 3.5 inch carb studs I need to make the new throttle bracket fit.

Bed looks good. Love the semi-gloss.

I cleaned up the garage and built a dolly for storing body parts so they don't get bumped or scratched while I'm working on things. Stashing the parts this way also takes up a lot less room...

Sanded the base and clear off the cab and doors.
https://scontent-ort2-2.xx.fbcdn.net...da&oe=5A2E5838 The body was taken down to bare metal about 10 years ago so I'm only taking it down into the primer. The doors are coming off again so I can prep the jambs, the goal is to get it into high build primer on Labor day weekend. I also finished up molding the VW hood latch into the filler panel. https://scontent-ort2-2.xx.fbcdn.net...df&oe=5A154AD3 |

Pumping gas the redneck way. I am finally taking the half a tank of gas out of the car before I go welding and grinding too close to it (ok maybe I was already welding and grinding too close). Also get to test my new Holley Red pump. Works great!
