Finished up painting the interior color yesterday, snapped the pics this morning before the oppressive heat kicked in...:crazy: High today 98 with a heat index of 112…

Here's the same temps in Celsius for my mates across the pond…:mm:

Not perfect, but really happy with the outcome considering it is a rattle can job… :lol:

After snapping the pics, I focused on the 72…pulled the door panels to clean and paint… then the oppressive heat decided to make it's entrance...:waah:

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
 

Very nice brother! You are making some serious progress :smoke::smoke:

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
 

Looking good Don!!! Your making quick work of that cab.

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
 

Well done man, looks great!

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
 

Looks really nice.

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
 

Great job brotha! :metal::metal::metal:

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
 

dude, if that interior is done with spray cans... you de man.
my finger would be worn out. looks nice and smooth.

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
 

Thanks Guyz! :mm: Hope to get started on the bed this coming weekend, still gotta pull the trigger on a wiring harness...:uhmk:

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
 

I was thinking the same thing Clem!

Don, did you use your finger or one of those trigger attachments for spray cans? Either way, nice job! Good to see you rolling along. :chevy:

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
 

What Bed? You are getting it done Bro.

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
 

Finger, I tried an attachment, but it allowed the can to spin a bit and would cause interference with the spray pattern which made for blobs of paint being splattered...:sumo: I considered taping it in place but that was after I'd finished the white...:lol: I will probably use the trigger when I prime the bed and hood….:mm: Although when I get ready for color, a friend is bringing a spray gun to help me get the color laid out...:metal:

Thanks Brother! :metal: gotta get the step side ready...:chevy:

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
 

Looking great there Don !!!
You could never tell by looking at the pics that it was all just rattlecan. Certainly makes me feel better about doing mine in the same manner.

:thumbs:

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
 

Thanx Murph!!! :metal:

Glad to see you pop up out here… :mm:

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
 

yesterday was spent relaxing and avoiding the oppressive heat by hanging in the pool with the lovely wife and JoJo...:mm:

Today I braved the heat :devil: and put in some time on the truck...:bann: Thankfully a fan moving air helped keep things bearable...

I started out putting the hood, bonnet for my UK mates, ;) on sawhorses to get it ready for primer… I started by removing the latch, T/S buckets, and the wiring…

I cleaned up the latch bolts and bucket screws then bagged it all up for re-installation once the hood is ready…
