Got the fuel pump relocated, actually a lot happier with the mounting now as I eliminated the bracket that came with the pump and replaced the original mounting studs with some I had in inventory. Replaced the fuel line from the tank to the filter and tucked the filter inside the frame bracket. Routed the fuel line away from the exhaust.

Back to working on the doors, stripping off old paint on the outside so they can be primed and any repairs made before I paint the interior surfaces with color.

Trying to determine what temperature I need for the Eastman rattle can epoxy color paint to cure. The infromation I can find only refers to cure time at 68 degrees but doesn't say anything about temperature range (other than cure time will vary). Turned pretty chiily here so shop is set to hold at 50 degrees for now. I can warm it up but don't want to get carried away. Hoping to get the interior of the cab, including the inside of the doors done before winter really sets in.

If I can get the interior painted I can do a lot of work on things like installing the heater, wiring, cables, etc. that involve the dash area.
