Looking good! Always exciting to see a project take such a big step towards completion. There will be a big "jaw drop" when you see how much different the paint looks when the clearcoat is on...

That paint looks awesome even without the clear on. Can't wait to see how much more 'pop' it will have once the clear hits.
Congrats! Still a huge amount of work ahead but this will really make it feel like your getting somewhere.

That paint looks great. I noticed he didn't paint the firewall. Is it going to be a different color?

Hey Tyler,
Oooohh.. That looks nice! I'm glad that guy in the pic isn't you -
I was beginning to wonder who I had that beer with!
Can't wait to see it. How's the father - son aspect of the build going?
Hopefully you are letting your son do all the crawling underneath stuff.

Looking good in Tucson.

Looks great! Will the Wimbleton white be just on the firewall, or will the inner fenders be that color also?

Looks even better as it progresses. Wished I had gotten further into the hobby when my son was younger and at home or nearby, Great to see the joint family project looking so good and the hobby being passed along.

Joe the inner fenders will be white as well. The grille will be white and the wheels are white. A section of the dash will be white (radio grille to ashtray to glove box). And we are restoring some old door art in white as well. It's gonna be cool. T

That sounds cool. It's going to be a great looking truck. I especially like the fact that it's a father/son project. My son grew up and moved out long before I got my truck...

Haha! Dennis, that's why we live in AZ! The sun makes paint look awesome 360 days a year, and we can wear shorts in February--and every other month! t

(After a few years tho, the AZ sun takes it's toll on paint

It probably does on your skin too,lol. Paint looks very good. Will you be wet sanding and buffing?
