We Have Paint!!!
The bodyman got her painted last Friday.
 Man, it's exciting to finally see this thing coming back together. In case you're wondering, the color is Atlantic Blue Pearlcoat from the 2003-current Dodge Rams. I should be able to get pictures of it more assembled this week. I may have it back this week or next.

Re: We Have Paint!!!
Thanks for all the comments guys. I was really worried about this color looking good. Mainly because I've not seen any other trucks this color. I really put alot of thought into the whole combination hoping it would blend and work well together. So far my vision seems to be just like I hoped.

Re: We Have Paint!!!
My Dodge is the same color and I gave thought to doing the 70 in that color too. Still not sure yet, but yours looks GREAT in it. I can't wait (as you I am sure) to see it whole again.

Re: We Have Paint!!!
We're moving along now. Here are some partly assembled pics. He has the bumpers, glass, taillights, and tailgate chains installed but I don't have pics yet. I should be getting some today.

JBUBBA, I envy the garage too because it isn't mine. It's at the painter's house. The big garage in these pictures is where he does all the prep and finish work. He has another shop on the other side of his house where he does all the metal work, fabrication, and welding. He can fit about 4 cars in the small shop and still have room to work. The only thing he does is restorations. I really appreciate all the compliments guys. I'm very happy with the way the truck has turned out. He'll have my front windsheild and my cowl panel on tomorrow, then he said he'll probably finish the wiring this weekend. I should have it back next week and the only thing left will be exhaust, interior, and A/C.
