Brought the '71 home today

-
Gary (My buddy that painted the truck) and I brought the '71 back to my place this afternoon. This thing really looks slick if I do say so myself.... We got the clear sanded and Gary buffed it out. I'm not saying this guy is fussy but we wet sanded the whole thing with 2000 grit wet or dry paper, then I went over it with a wet 3000 grit Trizac pad on the DA sander. Gary then went over the truck with a three step buffing compound/polish system and finished it out. Pictures don't do it justice, that's for sure... I will take the bed up tomorrow or Tuesday so he can work his magic on it next weekend. Looks like I'm going to be sanding like crazy again this week..... I will be going to pick up the new parts and windshield for it Wednesday so I can start putting the cab back together. I'm anxious to get started on the assembly. This may be a keeper...

I put the Dodge Dakota push on door seals in it and I need to do a little more adjusting on the doors. I got the seals out of an '89 Dakota at the salvage yard, so it looks like you can use the push on seals out of '89-94 Dakota's. They worked really slick.
