What a difference a few weeks can make!

She looked like this on the morning of Mother's Day:



And today, she looks like this:



Heading to Cheyenne right after lunch tomorrow to drop the cab off at the sandblasters. I have a lot of ideas of things I want to do to the cab, mainly on the inside. This should keep me busy well into winter so that I don't try to rush it trying to have it done this summer!

Some ideas I am going to try on the inside of the cab:

* Add A/C

* Shave and smooth the dash top, eliminate the cap. Maybe do a custom grey tweed full dash cover

* Rebuild the center section. Completely smooth, A/C vent on top, then CD player, then HVAC controler, then a pull-out cup holder.

* Replace ignition switch with a flush mounted one

* Custom made flat aluminum dash bezel

* Eliminate kickpanel vents, cover with grey tweed panels

* Underdash cover to hide whats underneath the dash

* Homemade grey tweed door panels, full heigth, with accent color panels

Yeah, I kinda like tweed!

Other things planned:

* Frenched power antenna

* Fill slots in cowl except for windshileld wiper arm holes and squiter slots

* Fill the seam at the upper rear of the cab, and between teh cab corners and rockers

* Shave the stake pockets

* Add a fuel door to the left side

And some frame work, like:

* Shorten the frame to SWB length

* Modify the trailing arm crossmember to allow the exhaust to be ran through it instead of under it

* Maybe box the inside of the frame

* Powder coat it when all the mods are done

WHEW!! I've got ALOT of work ahead of me. Better by another spool of MIG wire..............
