69 project back on track --- Finally
After a move from Arizona to Minnesota, I finally have my truck and some time to work on it again. Figured I would post pics on here since I have been on here a few hundred times for reference and ideas.

Here is what I started with taking over project from previous

Moved Tank to back and disc brakes

Decided to change color and didn't trust going over the work from PO.
Soda blasted in back yard in AZ. Very little rust or damage, gotta love those desert cars.

Now for the possible mistake
After the move to MN and an absolute shipping disaster I finally got my truck. that's not primer - decided to have it painted matte white. looks nice but not sure for how long

Didn't have space or time to paint so had it done by local shop in MN

Going all white with Black. Stripped steering wheel and stained black. first time it looked painted black so stripped again and wiped stain, wanted wood grain to still show.

Couldn't spend dough for new guages, so rebuilt with sticker kit.

Installed Fat Mat and sound system.

Now the joy of installing new wiring harness

I dig the all white. It's a cool custom look. Everyone does the all flat black nowadays. Yore is different

You said a mouthful in the first part of this post when you said "Now for the possible mistake
After the move to MN". You moved towards the cold winters and away from the beautiful winters.
Serious though it was somewhere around 105* yesterday out in my back yard shop, so I am sure it was much nicer where you are.
Truck is looking good.

I do miss the seeing the sun everyday. I don't miss the 100+ weather. I was loving the decision to move in June but will regret in January.

The Matte white would be a lot easier to keep clean on the dry roads of AZ
Plus I could drive it year round down there. Pretty much a summer truck here
