Do you have any idea how long that the migration will take?

I'm having a heck of a time trying to post pics.
I created an account on imageshack, but can't seem to figure out how to insert them into my post...frustrated!
I'll try again this evening, when I have more patience...

When you go to "My Images" in Imageshack, select an image and there should be a set of small icons at the upper right of the image. Place cursor over top button and it should pop up "Share"
Copy the link and paste to your post. Any ?s PM me and I can walk u thru it...

I may, or may not be figuring this photo posting thing out.
but just in case, what you are about to see may be disturbing by some, and was a very rare opportunity to have been caught on film, but what you are about to see are factory installed rocker panels that have never been subjected to RUST!

I hope that you can all endure this image. I know, it is quite breathtaking!

Sorry I got this far, but don't know how to make the images smaller!
Here are some additional pics showing my progress!...I think that I am an idiot!!!...But big pics are better than no pics!
I'll get this sorted out!

The entire inside & roof will be painted in this same color, I never thought that it would look this good, and it is laying-out so flat and really looks amazing!

Thanks man, and thanks for lookin!

Modges'66 · 08-11-2013, 09:36 AM

Just another small update, but a bit of an important milestone for me.
I pretty-much have every non-exposed surface on the front half of the truck painted!
Now we get to start painting the exterior surfaces!
I have hung the doors on the cab & have them all aligned, finish sanded masked-off & washed down with wax & grease remover so that we can blow the roof silver tomorrow...hopefully!
Here is a few pics of some of the last items that we shot!
I didn't use any clear on the inside of the hood because it has some imperfections that I didn't want magnified, so we just used basecoat with hardener.
I ordered hood insulation from Soffseal to add to the inside anyway.

The insides of the fenders turned out really nice. Too bad they will never be seen by most!

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 08-11-2013, 09:46 AM

Silver and blue very nice combo to go with..

Modges'66 · 08-11-2013, 10:13 AM

Here are a few sneak-peeks of the cab, all prepped for painting the top-half.
I used foam tape to mask-off the door jambs. That stuff works awesome!
The cab feels sooooooo smooth!

Bomp · 08-11-2013, 11:11 AM

That cab is Sweet!
Blue and Silver combo, I can't wait.

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 08-11-2013, 12:22 PM

When we shooting some paint can't wait...

Dinos63 · 08-11-2013, 08:17 PM

man that's slick!! congrats ... and I will post some for sure!

Jmorales3181 · 08-12-2013, 09:08 PM

Looking Good man! I used that foam tape for years. 3m makes a tape called transitional tape. You have to try it if you like the foam you will love this stuff makes nice and clean edges. Keep up the hard work...it's paying off!
