...? paint it brown?

I didn't. I blasted just the drivers side and primered it. I'm not done yet with the paint. The D/S will be a creamed corn color and the frame will be a darker than Battle-ship gray.
I'm using it as a rolling testament of what can be done with my blasting system.

Hoping to get a buddy to bring the 14' flatbed home here tomorrow. Hopefully will be getting the rear axle in the next couple of weeks.
The windshield got installed in about 1.5hrs by Gentry Glass here in the Memphis area. I cut the old glass out and he ordered a new seal and glass and installed it for about 285.00 and came to MY PLACE!!
