Been little by little blocking down the high-build primer. Kind of boring and very time-consuming. Then when I think I have it just about ready for sealer, and color, something else shows up that needs attention. Then back to applying a little more high-build primer and block it again in that area. Also moved the motor to an engine stand so I can get it cleaned up for a fresh coat of paint and a few more goodies, much easier to do now with the front clip off and out of the frame.

I worked also on getting the bed that came with the truck onto a cart and loaded on the trailer to go over to the storage lot. That bed was set on top of another frame so I could free up the body cart for the bed that would go onto this truck. A bunch of busy work that needs to get done to get this moving forward.

So right now the goal is to have everything cab forward painted by 4th of July weekend and assembly the following week.

Well after an 8-week break from the truck progress I was able to get back on the saddle and get the firewall sprayed out this morning. It has been a long road getting here with all the rust repairs and body damage that need attention on the cab. I am at a point now where I can move to each stage on the cab and get it painted along with the front fenders and the door.

I spent a few weeks healing my lower back and taking a break. Took another three weeks to learn how to do upholstery work with my brother who visited me here in Idaho. That was a great learning experience doing all the upholstery work on my 71 Jimmy and a bench seat for the Idaho Edition truck. Spent approximately six hours a day in the shop working on upholstery the entire time he was here. I will dive into this later after I get all my pictures sorted out from all the work done.

Pict 1-Hooked up the cab onto the gantry and lifted it enough to get 8" of cribbing under the cab to make it easier to paint the bottom area of the firewall
Pict 2-Went over the cab again with soap and water and a greyScotchbrite, then rinsed and did a couple of times over with wax and grease remover
Pict 3-Taped off and almost ready for color
Pict 4-First coat of Medium Blue on the firewall
Pict 5-After a couple more coats
