Finally finished the cab and got the final paint on the frame (suppose to be satin,my bad). Hope to have the vortec set in frame for crossmember location this weekend and sitting on all fours

thats sucks, if you want you can trade me frames so you can paint it in satin

TEXAS 68 · 01-06-2005, 08:28 AM

That was the Texans game,and it's hard to work out there with out the tv.The first time I painted the frame I used satin and I was just recoating because I made some changes. I picked up my vortec yesterday so hopefully I can set it in this weekend. Thanks everyone
