Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Wanted to get to the shop to do some wiring. But I got a call from the polisher that the grill bezel was done. It was a wreck. $275 was steep, but what craftsmanship at Imperial Polishing in Fresno. Then, at almost the same time, I got a call back from a guy in Merced that was selling my new bench seat. Thanks, Armando. He said he knows you, Rene. In fact, I think he said that a part of my new seat was at your place at one time, and that you suggested the A****er Upholsterer that did the nice job.
The part on the seat is the Vintage Air firewall hose pass-through that I took to check the color compatibility. It's a Kirker color called Black Cherry Perarl. I am using it under the hood. But in the middle of the night last night, I woke up thinking about the painter/body work hassles I've had in the past. And the strange attitude and business sense that seems to want to attach itself to that artful profession. It drives me nutz. So, I'm going to paint the inside of the cab with this stuff myself, wait for the right body guy to do the body work and real paint outside. At least I'll have a truck to drive in the interim. I ordered another 6 qts of the Black Cherry. I did make it to the shop to confirm that the new lights/dizzy/horn harness was set up EXACTLY correctly. Another thumbs up to ECE.
