Yes, I would enjoy learning how you do the door panel so looking forward to the thread Jim...Doug

Doug, you would be wrong

. 12 v ign, ground, netural safety, brake power and brake switch.

Hopefully will get started on it in a couple days...Jim

Hello oldman3. Your friend is very lucky to know you. Very nice work. I'll be watching for that panel project also.

Earl, thank you for the kind words, starting soon...Jim

Looks good Jim!

Love it when you've planned far enough ahead to make things easy to work on or maintain in the future.

Thank you, I always think, what could go wrong, and how easy will it be to repair or add too...Jim

**oldman3** · 02-08-2015, 07:08 PM

Well, I have a week-end update for everyone. On Friday I sanded down the paint on the bumper till it was showing primer. Did a little blinding then sprayed it with 4 coats of primer (Well Mark sprayed it, new gun and I couldn't get it to spray, he changed the tip on the new gun and layed down the primer. Here's the bumper in primer...Jim

**oldman3** · 02-08-2015, 07:17 PM

Saturday I dry and wet sanded the primer till I was happy with it. I then sprayed 4 heavy coats of the teal paint, came out real nice. (Yes I sprayed this time). First pic is the old one with chipped paint. Pic 2 and 3 are how it came out...Jim

**oldman3** · 02-08-2015, 07:23 PM

Sunday, I finished installing all my panels back in the cab. Here's the location of the panel with the control panel for cruise. Easy to get too, should work out good...Jim

**Advanced Design** · 02-08-2015, 08:18 PM

The bumper and cruise mounting came out really nice Jim. Nice work!

A little update guys. Can't tell you anything new on the cruise control, it's on hold. My seat is still at the upholstery shop (6 weeks), so I can't drive the truck. If you remember i said back the first of February I would be building a door panel for a friend. Well, I finally got started on the panels. Here's the link to the build thread http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=662380 , that I put in Alternate Tinkerings, since there is no interior forum on here. Check it out and let me know what you think...Jim

RockinKees · 03-05-2015, 06:22 PM

Jim, I finally made it to the end of this thread.
Don't know what to say....

There are some people on this board I really admire because of their skills and great ideas to solve little and big problems.
I have to say, you are on that list too

Kees, now I don't know what to say. Thank you so much for adding me to your list. I just try to do it right, and the best I can. You are doing some great work also, so we're on the same page....Jim

**oldman3** · 03-12-2015, 10:29 AM
