Thanks Clem, I love the color. It turned out just as I had envisioned. I'm looking forward to getting the bed finished up. The temperature down here has limited my time getting the urethane laid down. I've got 2 coats on so far.
My Sanity has come home. Now it's time to finish up a few loose ends to finish it up. The front grill insert "CHEVROLET" needs to have the background painted black.

Thanks TJ. It's good to see you back,
We took a week off and went to Vegas. 5 days of Blues music and fun at the Westgate Big Blues Bender. This was our 3rd time and we're planning on next year, hopefully. Now it's time to get back to work..
I'm still working on the bed wood. 3 coats so far. I'm also working on the grill letters. They were powder coated with the grill and bumper but on the letters. they just blend in with the background. So I am painting the background black. I am also prepping the inside of the doors and the door panels for paint.

Re: pdx-sanity66

It's been a while since I've posted but I've been getting done.
I've got the door window fuzzies in and the windows roll up and down very nicely.
I've got new door handles with matching locks installed.
I found some reverse lights I like and they are installed but I need a switch for them.
I serviced the transmission. drained, remove the pan and installed a new gasket, removed the temporary filter that was installed to catch any debris that might have been in the lines, cooler, etc. It was in the output line of the cooler. I also installed the temp sender for mt trans temp gauge. More on that later.
I took the grill letters off and painted the background black and reinstalled it.
And I've got 5 coats of satin urethane on the bed and it is ready for the final coat. We're getting some cooler weather coming this week so I should be able to get it done.
