Reclaiming A Stock Steering Wheel - Custom Classic Trucks Magazine

POR15's kit had an Epoxy Putty in it as a filler. But let me tell you the putty is a pain to work with. And in my opinion the kit is not worth the $100.

There was a little paint on Thurs. and Fri. They painted parts of the cab and the inside of the doors. I don't have any pictures of the doors right now they were painting them when I arrived on Fri.

I know you have a long way to go, but that must be really exciting!

Most Definitely!!

It sounds like Monday the body shop was going to plan on painting the front half of the truck!!

I will be sure to get some pictures next week.

Hi everyone,

Well the front half of my truck is painted and for the most part finished. I will try to get up a few pictures as soon as I can.

Ok Guys here we go this is what my truck is going to look like!!!

















Let me know what you guys think. The one body guy also suggested a pin stripe to separate the blue and white. After looking at it I think it would maybe be a good idea.

I noticed that I didn't show any pictures of the cab with the chip guard on the floor pan and the hood. The hood has chip guard sprayed on the inside to help strengthen it up a little. I really like it, I think it looks really good.

Ok finally the box got painted yesterday, here it is along with the grill.











The pictures kind of suck I know I had to shoot them quick before I was kicked out. I will have some better one's tomorrow (might not get them posted though??). I am going to work on it a little bit tomorrow night.

Let me know what you guys think.

Here are a couple of pictures with the complete headlight assembly. Looks so much better than the last post.
