Well Guy's,
I guess that it has been about a week since i have posted, and time for me to make a contribution to the forum.
Some good things have happened this past week. It seems that the planets are all starting to align or something.
I got all of my prep work for paint done, and my Porterbuilt components are starting to trickle in!
Here is a glimpse of what we did yesterday morning!
I am beside myself right now!
These photos (truck-porn to me!) do absolutely NO justice to what it looks like in person.
I have showed these pics to a few people, and then took them over to see for themselves, and all have had the same response:
"I cannot believe that it would be possible to get such fine results from within a backyard garage"!!!!
My hat is off to my great friend Tom & his painting skills, but even he says that "it is all in the prep work".
Sure, it will get a slight sand, & rub job, but I woulda done that anyway, regardless!
I am gonna try to get some additional pics today in the sunlight if possible, so stay tuned!

Spent the entire day transporting painted parts from from Tom's garage to the build garage...Don't want to scratch or ding anything!
Let me tell you, I haven't been this nervous transporting anything since I brought my first-born home from the hospital after birth!
It looks super-nice outside!
Everything went exceptionally well this weekend.
Now I have more to do than I can handle!
Right now I feel like I am taking a sip of water using a fire-hose!!!!
Here are a few pics with the 14 miles of tape & a thousand feet of paper removed!

Paint came out sweet. Awesome Awesome Awesoooooooooooooooooome!!!

I have to agree with your painter..... Your prep work was phenomenal. That thing is smooooooth. No need of pics of you cause the reflection is so stinkin' clear!

Great Job!!!

Can Not Wait to see this thing come together.
