Nice work Mike, your firewall looks great! The area where the gas tank went looks great too! The lines look perfect.

Thanks for the compliment Scott. I can remember when I was where you are on your cab. I'm so glad to be past all that body and metal work.

Thanks Chip. I can't wait to get past the nasty sand and buff. I swear it takes almost as much time to clean up as it does to do the buffing.

Re: 1969 Short Wide
I know you guys are sick of seeing red paint reflections but, I thought I would share before cut and buff then after of passenger side.
Notice the little black spots are dust particles that have to get sanded out. I use a sharpie as my guide coat.

After:

Re: 1969 Short Wide
Holy smokes Mike!! That looks fantastic. I've always thought that the cut-n-buff was kind of an optional thing. Those photos make the difference crystal clear. Looks like it's way worth the effort to me. Nice work man!

How's your paint coming along? You have my shirt designed yet? (69-70 grill).
YEP, I got it! I will get it mailed out this week.

The bed is done, but the cab is still needing finished. I have all the parts to put the bed back together, lenses, bed wood, chrome trim for lights and wheel wells.
