sounds good.

Stay on them, to keep them 'focused' on your job.

**joedoh** · 06-24-2021, 07:03 PM

sounds like paint paradise instead of paint prison!

**8man** · 06-25-2021, 08:46 AM

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!

NorCalGal · 07-18-2021, 06:30 PM

Robert here’s some pictures of the OER grill you Pm’ed me about

**8man** · 07-19-2021, 07:54 AM

Thank you Jan.

**8man** · 08-23-2021, 01:34 PM

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.

OutlawDrifter · 08-23-2021, 02:43 PM

Very cool!

Tempest67 · 08-23-2021, 04:30 PM

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

**8man** · 08-23-2021, 04:32 PM

Thanks guys. It really was satisfying see paint on parts.

NorCalGal · 08-23-2021, 05:50 PM

I’m dying with envy.

**8man** · 08-23-2021, 06:21 PM

Thanks Jan. It was 2 years getting here, and 2 painters, so I'm stoked.

yes they do, Top Tip: make sure you always carry a flat screw driver (pointy end up) in your back pocket when doing so, ask me how I know

it will look AMAZING, and I hate to tell you this, but it looks like he painted that tailgate upside down, hope you get a discount

**8man** · 09-13-2021, 09:32 AM

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.

6DoF · 09-13-2021, 11:10 AM

rust sux ... anti-seize the world!!

**8man** · 09-22-2021, 04:33 PM

Ok, after the longest wait ever, I am making progress.

IMG_0901 by Robert Moorman, on Flickr
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.

IMG_0911 by Robert Moorman, on Flickr
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.

OutlawDrifter · 09-22-2021, 04:47 PM

Robert...there's no winders in that cab!!!!

Paint looks great, I'm excited to see this one go back together!

**8man** · 09-22-2021, 04:51 PM

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????

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

**8man** · 09-22-2021, 04:58 PM

Thanks.

6DoF · 09-23-2021, 07:53 AM

good color!

**8man** · 09-23-2021, 08:48 AM

Thanks.

Tempest67 · 09-23-2021, 10:40 AM

Wow looks great

looking forward to seeing this go together

**8man** · 09-23-2021, 11:05 AM

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.

**youngrodder** · 09-23-2021, 12:15 PM

Very nice..Love that color (and shine)

Marc
