I think I would have left all the dust on it. Very cool find.

We talked about how cool it would be to just clear over it, dust and all.

The guys at the shop made a little progress today inbetween other jobs. It took four of us to push it downhill into the shop since the brakes were dragging pretty bad. They took the old glass out and cut new green tint glass and started rebuilding the doors with new glass run channel and inner/outer scrapes. Dad picked up a set of stainless window trims and inner moldings that go on the doors for $40 bucks(!) and already had the stainless w/s trim so he swapped those out instead of using the old black ones. I did a quick polish job around the glass to get an idea of what the paint is going to clean up like while we were at it. Sure do wish the rest of the truck would clean up that good, but there's a lot of rough spots on it that'll have to be touched up. I also took two of the stuck drums apart and got the shoes adjusted back so it rolls better now. The guys at the shop should have the glass work finished up soon and I'll post back once that's done with more pics.
