Spent a few hours on the truck today, was able to get the dent below the window straighten out and filled. Needs a little more work in the bottom corners then it will be ready for primer.

**thelonerife** · 06-01-2015, 01:21 AM

Nice job!

Primed the back of the cab today.

**thelonerife** · 06-09-2015, 12:15 AM

looks straight

cooperhw · 06-09-2015, 05:10 PM

She's coming right along. Looks a mile long without a bed. Hard to believe that "as long as it is, it's still shorter than my truck was in the beginning".

Anyhow, it is looking great. Keep up the good work.

Well with the holiday weekend here thought it would be appropriate to spend it working on the truck. Spent most of yesterday painting a few parts. Hopefully I will be able to finish painting the rest of it within the next few weekends.

Wish I would have taken some pictures of them out in the sun.

pat english · 09-07-2015, 11:35 AM

Very nice.Will the bumper be painted body color too?

CRees · 09-07-2015, 12:06 PM

No I'm going to leave the bumper Chrome along with the headlight bezels. Thought the chrome would stand out better if the grill was painted.
