Getting ready for school to start next week, got some blasting to do on parts of the bed and rear fenders before they head to the shop. With a little luck I should have all the paint work done by the end of the semester. The color is 96 Porsche Iris Blue Pearl Clearcoat, I saw it on an 39 Chev pickup and said that the right color.
