Check out my user gallery for updated pics. I installed the dashboard, painted the interior, put the old seat back in for now (got a seat from a 1990 F150 coming), and put all the stuff in the dash. The glove box abd various switches and bezels came from motorhaven.autoanything.com.

I really like the paint job, Russell. It looks great! How did you go about it? What steps did you take for prep, what kind of paint, etc.

Details, bud! We need details!

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 20-Dec-02 AT 08:29 PM (EST)]The paint is rattle can Midnight Blue. Just wire brushed to bare metal and primed. 4 coats of color and 2 coats of gloss clear coat. Sanding between every coat with incrementally higher grit sandpaper. The windows were removed because the gaskets were shot. Got new gaskets and found a guy in the local area that put them back in for $100.00.

(Edit) I only wet-sanded. No dry-sanding at all.
