Painting the dash.. pics soon then body work

 

Bump for newly painted dash and the wood grain

 

Nice find. I just got a parts truck that I am going to use a lot of stuff from. Please let us know how the seats clean up (pics would be helpful too). I have basically the same ones and they need to be steam cleaned and fixed up a bit so I am curious how yours will turn out. Good luck.

 

Hey, what a great project you have underway. Good deal on everything too. good luck and keep us updated....

 

Oh, how did you prep your dash for painting? Did you clean it with something?

 

im taking a lot of pics along the way soo just keep checking the thread

i put a little bit of paint thinner on a rag and rubbed over the dash a couple of times and sprayed it with about 3 cans of duplicolor grey interior paint.. it turned out very nice but i had to put a million coats on it

 

good deal man...with the parts you have you can build a good truck...or two

i want those wheels!...ive been looking for something deep dish style like that (or large backspacing whichever you prefer) i want those but i cant find any the only other possibility is Mickey Thompson classic IIs but those are too expensive and fancy for a mud truck

 

When we sprayed my dad's door panels we rushed it. A few months later it all started to peel off. So I dont want this to happen with mine. Thanks for the tip and I cant wait to see how your truck comes out.

 

A few years ago I painted the plastic in one of my cars. A service shop that our company uses gave me a special solvent that they used before doing similar work (sort of Methyl-Hydrate like but different) It cleaned everything great and the paint stuck perfectly. A quick call to a body shop might give you a name of a current product. Mine probably wasn't very earth friendly as it would remove your skin.

 

the rims arent in the best of shape but they will clean up... little rust hear and there.. i only paid $100 for all of them

 

cant beat that...little work with an SOS pad and theyll shine

 

made brackets so the new plastics would line up with the seatbelt. i hope i dont get in a wreck

 

Nice job so far.

 

nice find, looks like u got a long project ahead of you, good luck

 

i just finished drilling holes and mounting the seats
