Inside of doors. This is probably the best representation of the color.

Re: 1980 Stepside Build... My first build thread

After hanging the doors Friday night, I started wetsanding. Spent most of the day Saturday continuing the wetsanding, then cleaned the shop and blew out all he dust. Gave it the first wiped own of w&g remover.

Warmed up the shop this morning and did all of the masking. En gave it the final wipe down of w&g remover. Sprayed 2 coats of color and 3 coats of clear. Everything is now painted except the inside of the tailgate. Need to wait a week or so to let the paint harden before I can flip it over and finish it.

I really like that color. Are you going to keep it solid or do the classic white stripe on the side

Re: 1980 Stepside Build... My first build thread

Thanks! No white stripe. It just never looks right to me on a stepper. Still trying do decide if I want to spray the roof white.

Re: 1980 Stepside Build... My first build thread

Thanks! I picked up a set of 8" wheels for the rears yesterday, along with some 275/60's. With any luck I'll get the fenders mounted and the chrome back on the front this weekend. I'm hoping to see it mostly together by the end of the weekend.

Didn't get much time to work on the truck over the weekend. Little assembly done though.
