Thanks Kyle Thanks Rus, call me crazy but I'm really digging the satin black these parts come in. I know they have to be painted to prevent rust but I dig the color Thanks Buck, just another year older Thanks buddy, have to say I'm happy with these aftermarket panels. Everything fit really well except the hood.

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
Don't know how I miss the tailgate fitment, but I'm definitely happy for you that it fits perfect. Looks like the Tri-plus gate is a winner.

Yeah she is the best, she just wants the truck done so she can have her spot back in the garage. Quote:
Yeah I've lucked out pretty good with these aftermarket panels. Everything fit good except the hood, which fits good now

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
Haven't had many updates lately but I'm starting to accumulate what I need to start bodywork on this truck. Today my SPI Epoxy Primer came in. My plan is to get all the panels in Epoxy and then start slinging some mud. I still need to get some stuff before I actually start to primer. Mostly I need to get some spray guns. I'm also probably going to pull the cab back off before I start.
What would you guys suggest for spray guns? Please keep in mind I'm looking for something budget minded as I don't have $400-500 to spend on spray guns. I was thinking about trying the Devilbliss Starting line kit. Summit racing has a 2 gun kit for $150.00 and it comes with 1.3, 1.5 & 1.8 tips.

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
No I haven't. I wouldn't even know what to look for and knowing my crappy luck I would buy something used and it wouldn't work or something.

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
From talking with friends that own body shops and working in a family collision shop, Sata and Iwata are the best guns you can buy. I know most guy will only use them as a dedicated base or clear gun.
I've used my gramps old Binks no. 7 gun for primers and implement paints for years. I know that guys don't like a suction feed because of excessive overspray and spraying at a higher psi. But it's sentimental and still works well for me.
