Nice Bob! Not enough rust for my taste, but looks good on your glossy finish, lol.
So I put it in the smoker for about 12 hours.
Hey all, I finally got my PA tax return from 4 months ago. Can you guess where that money is going? If you guessed truck parts, you win! So where's the best place, brand, etc, to buy floor pans for my 78 F150?

I took Ka'Bluey out for a ride yesterday, it was nice to fire him up and go a nice ride. I have my rust here too
Here's a shot from inside the cab yesterday.

Matt, like David (Dlibson) mentioned LMC isn't bad to use. That's where I bought the weather strips for Ka'Bluey years ago.
I would think that there are other places that carry auto paint and supplies would have body panels. Other brands I've used are Certifit, also known as "Sorta"-Fit. But it's that way with about any aftermarket body panel.

I've used these aftermarket panels before and have had really good results. The panels I have fitting issues with are fenders, doors, hoods etc, anything that is a bolt on fit.
Everything else is usually pretty decent.

Really good to hear, can't wait to get them in the truck.
Still looking for a good name for her, my neighbor keeps calling her mint chocolate or Jade, not really what I'm going for. Any good suggestions?

Got in a little earlier from Greensboro... I was impressed with Axle singing for ACDC. Also let's just say Angus has definitely still got it. They put on a 2.5 hour non stop action packed show, no talking and less than 30 seconds between every song.

While the supervisor (frogs) didnt show up this time i did get the front deck finally finished...
Front of the house looks alot nicer with the shrubs cut down and the deck finally refinished..
ended up having to replace more of the step boards than originally planned.. when i went to pull them back up this time they split..
but least theyre a lot safer now...

My cousin Don was at that show last night too. I had wanted to go, but had to work. He told me today "I've never been an Axl Rose fan, but he hit it last night, he was so good he made me want to go see Guns & Roses when they come through".
