It has been a busy stretch working on the truck. I finally was able to shoot some color on the cab. I have not painted with a spray gun in 30 years, I was not very confident in how it would turn out. I ended up using a "touch-up syphon gun. I picked it up years ago thinking I could use it to paint my outboard, but had never used it. It actually sprayed pretty well. I did have one time it started spitting, but not too bad and the drops blended in. I have a couple of spots to sand with 2000 but over all I am satisfied. I have been fighting this recent cold snap as it has been too cold for paint.
We also have started to reassemble things and reattach items on the cowl. I am rebuilding the vent windows, now. I also took a trip to Restoration Spevialists in Franklin Wisconsun to pick up the hood, grille and left front fender. Our plan is to get the truck cab basically complete so I can roll it outside while I paint the exterior of the doors, and work on the front clip. There is just not enough room to work on those items with the truck in the garage also. Hopefully once the exterior of the doors are painted, we can hang them and get them out of the way. That will free up a lot of space. Still a long way to go, but progress is progress.
