Re: 1969 Short Wide
I can just imagine trying to do the dash... Are you polishing the inner roof too, or are you putting a headliner in? I'd have a hard time lifting my arms after polishing the roof. That's a lot of sanding and holding the buffer above your head.
It's looking good though

Re: 1969 Short Wide
Looks great Mike, your definitely going the extra mile with buffing the inside of the cab. That just looks like to much work for me

Re: 1969 Short Wide
Builds like this make me laugh at myself for worrying over a couple of cab corners and a rocker panel. Seriously great work paying off with some color!!

Thanks. Thanks Quote:

Thanks Buck. Don't sweat the cab corners and rockers. Those aren't too bad. Hopefully, you don't find any hidden rust when you get into it. |

Re: 1969 Short Wide
I think I need you to come over and show me the proper technique of doing it.....in your "spare" time of course.

Re: 1969 Short Wide
Ha, I got all anal and even polished the doorjambs! I literally thought, "What the helll am I doing? This is a fishin' truck!" Oh well, I had it out.
Looks fantastic, Mike. Can't wait to see it together. Are you gonna mount it before the shine party, or do it on the stand? I can say it's easier to clean up on the stand, but the stand moves more. Kind of a tossup. Keep it up, you're inspiring us all!

![]() I will more than likely do the pieces I can on the stands. Those fenders are kinda hard to keep steady, but the cab, bed, and hood are so heavy I can just do them on the stands. I would like to mount it all to the frame and do just what needs to be done. I guess I'll cross that bridge pretty soon. |

Re: 1969 Short Wide
Paint looks beautiful. It's got to be a huge motivator to getting the truck done. I can only imagine!

Re: 1969 Short Wide
I don't think I ever asked this and I probably missed it but are you planning on running trim?
