Re: Wife's 48
sounds good.
Stay on them, to keep them 'focused' on your job.

Re: Wife's 48
Tempest, I've planned to go by about 3 times a week, just to let them know I care.
Joe, compared to the last year, yeah baby!

Re: Wife's 48
Finally! After another 6 weeks in body work, and more money than I care to admit, WE ARE IN PAINT!
First he started with black sealer as the undercoat. ![]() Once that cured for a bit he started on color on the underside of the hood, inside of both doors and the tailgate. Here is the color. ![]() This is after one coat, there will be three and a clear. ![]() They should have the cab and doors done by Thursday and I'll start bringing parts home. I have a roll of stick on plastic to cover them to try and help keep me from scuffing the parts as I put it together. This is a good day.

Re: Wife's 48
looking good.
FWIW, I have heard it said, that once the project is in paint, you are 70% done. enjoy the process,... looking forward to final assembly

Re: Wife's 48
Thanks Jan. It was 2 years getting here, and 2 painters, so I'm stoked.

Re: Wife's 48
Ha ha, funny guy!
I will go over there this afternoon to "help" put the doors back on the cab, which we got back on the frame last week.

Re: Wife's 48
Ok, after the longest wait ever, I am making progress.
![]() I'll have the cab on the frame by Friday, so I'll have that update after it is set. Got the hood back today. ![]() It has some dust and white buffing compound on it, but Laura LOVES the color! I have a garage full of painted parts, all sitting on packing blankets and covered with same. I should get the all the little parts next week and then it'll be assembly time! Today is a good day.

Re: Wife's 48
Thank you.
Friday is the cab on frame and putting the Steele rubbers on the doors. I've recently heard that that can be daunting or some kind of PITA. If it goes well the doors will be on the cab next week and then it'll be all fun after that, right????

Re: Wife's 48
It's not terrible, just time consuming. Take your time and make sure to let the weatherstrip adhesive get tacky before you start.

Re: Wife's 48
Thank you. Laura is really excited about the color. She has all the parts covered with sheets or blankets to keep them from getting damaged.
