I Just got distracted with literally a room full of NOS parts that I have wanted to use for years.

That might be just a little distracting... It's going to be fun watching you pull the rest of this bad boy together!

All I have to say Mike is that looks awesome. The paint came out amazing and the trim looks ridiculous on there. Great job buddy.

Thanks Mike. You set that bar pretty high with your truck. I went with solid red because you just don't see that many around here.

Re: 1969 Short Wide

It is looking great keep posting the progress. Looking forward to when you can post more pictures with it all together because the trim on the bed looks great. The scary part will be putting all of it back together with out scratches or chips.
