Since this picture was taken, the glass is in and the hood is on. To upholstery next week and then all I have to do is assemble the bed and put it on.

That turquoise really is a fantastic color for these trucks. Great work and thanks so much for the fantastic photo album.
In one of the captions you mention the paint did not stick to the firewall. Were you able to trouble shoot the cause? | | | | | Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall | | Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 | Nice... and that is a "clean' looking color.

cant wait to the updated pics! | | | | | Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 119 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 119 | We (the body guys and me) all came to the conclusion that there wasn't enough of a film build on first attempt at paint (PPG single stage). By the time it was color sanded and compounded, there wasn't enough of a film build to hold on to the sealer. The new paint is a base/clear that was shot, color sanded and buffed by somebody that knew what they were doing (not me). | | | | | Joined: Mar 2001 Posts: 1,181 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2001 Posts: 1,181 | That is a beatiful color on some models, but for some reason I always think of a 55=57 chevy car with that color. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2001 Posts: 428 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Oct 2001 Posts: 428 | Looks really good.
