If You Could Re-Do A Modification...What?
I thought this thread would be interesting......post pics if you have them
If you could re-do a modification that you have done on your truck....what would it be and how would you do it different?
later, Ed

Well, I wish two things, and they are really related. I wish that instead of starting small and restoring small parts or components in the interior, I had taken the whole truck apart, pulled off the cab and painted the interior first, then reinstalled the finished parts.
I'm at a point with my interior where I'm ready to paint the outer dash (not the glove box door or ash tray - they are done and installed), and windshield area. In order to make the truck driveable this past year, while I was working on other things. I hadalready installed the gauges, instrument cluster, ***** with bezels, mirrors, search lights, etc. It's going to take me forever to mask all that stuff off to paint the dash, inside of the doors, and the exposed metal parts of the interior.
Hopefully I won't make a mess out of the stuff that's already done.
J!

I think I would have done a chop or even a roadster setup (topless)....I shaved the drip rail and filled seams but I really enjoy the metal work....just wish I were any good at it!
