I'll shoot you a PM if we have some free time while I'm up- we'll be moving my wife to LA, so it might be busy

You did an amazing job. Doing the interior roof along the upper window line would have stopped me in my tracks but you did everything perfectly. I was suprised when you relic'd the trucks paint. I'm not disappointed since I relic guitars all the time for sale. Just have never seen anyone do it to a truck. GREAT JOB!!!

Thanks for taking the time

I'm not quite done with her yet, but the majority of the work is complete- it's just little things and more 'antiquing' now. Of course we all know they're never truly done, so there will be more to come after that, I'm sure

Played around with weathering the bed wood a little today. Used a combination of vinegar, baking soda, water, wire brushes, sandpaper, muriatic acid, and whatever else was laying around. It took the yellow-ness out, but didn't give the effect I'm shooting for, so I'll have to get more serious with it

Also wired up dedicated grounds for the marker, blinker, and tail lights. Amazing how much better they work now...

Before and 'after' of the bed- more to come:
