Restoration update

Well, I'm almost done.
I've got about 200 miles on the truck now, it runs great.
The 300 six pulls hard right from idle. My V8 buddy is impressed.
I sprayed in the bed liner last week. I used Tintable Raptor Liner, it came out really nice.
The liner is clear and you add 10% of your color basecoat. I used the teal and the color is a perfect match.
I just have to figure out what I'm going to do with the trim/stripe.
I'll post some pics of the bed.
Thats Atlantic City in the background.

Body side molding or pin striping will work to cover the mis-alignment. The paint looks great.

Looks great man! Love the plain stock look.

Only thing I would consider doing is maybe shimming the hinges a bit to get the hood down a little lower in the back.

Very nice looking truck! As far as tape line, from pic just mask off from near bed inline with hood in straight line then on front side of hood just turn it down slightly then add more teal. Or as someone else said add some type of stripe. If entire truck is clear coated it may be a little tougher to do but at least from an appearance standpoint... Be a bit pricey but you could always add the moldings. Morepics please

Really nice looking truck.

It appears to be painted properly for a Custom Cab. Of course, the side trim on the Custom Cab covers up the color change and without that trim, that change stands out more on your beautiful truck.

How come you have waited so long to figure out the side trim issue?, looks finished on the exterior except for that!
