Wicruiser. I will take a pic tonight or tomorrow and send it to you.

Nothing but rain today so I started the process of getting the wave out of the hood.

Wi cruiser,

I tried to send pic but you can't do that in messages. This is the interior color. Single stage. I may clear it, not sure. I will see how tough it is when I deal with some runs I got.

Thanks for the paint information. I ordered "Eastwood 2K DuraSpray Topcoat Gentian Alpine Blue Paint" which is a rattle can 2 part paint that is suppose tohave unlimited pot life (not sure how that's possible). My son recommended that I clear it to provide protection from scratches etc.

I'm with you on the unlimited pot life thing, so I had to go read up on it. Apparently the activator is "activated " by moisture after its mixed with the paint AND after it leaves the can. Maybe they have to use the activator capsule in the can to prevent moisture inside when filling the can. What was the old slogan - "Better living thru chemistry".

If you're smart enough to take it apart, you darn well better be smart enough to put it back together.

With regard to area behind tank - have you considered the DIY, 2-part undercoating paint. I believe marketed for beds, but I used on floor and interior firewall area as a noise reducer. While not original, I was not offended by the look on my floor and wished I went up the back of the cab.

Was going to do this, but I insulated instead. I wondered if things like this would stick to the insulation?

Threw the cab on the frame just to see how everything fits and to give me a little motivation. Not much room left in the engine compartment.
