Making headway "49"
Well I've been getting with it pretty good, I painted the interior of the 49' dash, inner doors, jams, & above the dash, all is 2003 mercadies bahama blue, dupont base/clear paint,for only shooting base/clear one other time I'm pleased with the results, After painting I also coated the floor (from under the dash to half way up the back of the cab) with duplicolor bedliner,
As always here are some pics,

After spending the last 2 days block sanding the exterior is finally ready for paint, friday I'll be taking to a friend that owns a local body shop, He said I could use his paint booth to shoot the truck, so hopefully by the end of this weekend I'll have some new pictures with the truck reassembled and some bling'in paint to show that a little progress is being made,

that paint is sexy man!
You know what would have been cool, but not wise, and waaay too late now? chopping hte roof and sectioning about 4" out of it! that would be awesome to see lifted. If you ever get bored after your done with your (tight) truck, you know what to do...

That looks awesome. I would like to do something like that someday to complement my '48'. Keep up the good work.

Looking great, thanks for any comment,

I have use duplicolors aplication gun, (junk) I made my own using the trigger part of their gun, a ball valve, a couple fittings, & a coffee can, kind of oky but it worked good,
I think rolling the duplicolor on would work well, especially with some kind of textured roller,

I've seen their roller, and I don't know how well it would work. I used Herculiners textured roller, and I like the outcome of the finished texture, and I was just hoping I could get the same type of finish with the duplicolor roller.
