Talking Final Paint

I've added a few progress pics in my gallery, My brother in law and I worked this week end, assembling the bed, running boards, and fenders, after getting them back from paint shop.

Wow..........What a beauty, you've really nailed the stance. JMO, if they don't sit right there is nothing you can do to make it look right.

WHOA!!!! Stop right there!! What are you thinking?? final assembly?? say it isn't so, that means youwill be done with the truck. Do you know what that means?? No more busting knuckles, pulling hair out, scrounging parts, collaborating with buddies and frosty beverages, etc ,etc, etc. Now you just have to drive i around and watch people do the old double take as they snap their heads around to get a good look at yoru beauty...

Very nice job!! What a great looking truck!!

Bobby

Thanks for all the great comments.

Bobby, don't worry, I still have a lot of knuckle bustin to do,
Wiring
Upholstery
insulation
bedwood
grill/headlights
bumpers/tail lights
sound system

Anyway, you get the picture, still lots to do. I,m not sure if it is more fun now or not,because I have to be so damn careful now not to mess up the paint, kind of miss when I could just crawl all over it .

e william, I don't mind, and thanks for the compliment.

B/B Ford,

It sure looks good, you did a great job. I guess you better get rid of the belt buckle, levis, etc. go get yourelf some soft cotton pants and a shirt. the nighbors might look at you funny and wonder why you are working in your pajamas but it will be worth it.

Bobby
