Looks good, is that a base coat/clear coat or a single stage paint. I'm hoping to get some on mine before winter if at all possible.

What did you do to the bottom of the cab? I am starting paint stripping on my cab. It is off the frame on a wood dolly I can move around. I built a rotisserie for my Mustang and also used it with the F1 frame. I am looking at modifying it to use on the cab. I will bolt a piece of square tubing to the back and front of the cab to attach to the rotisserie. Plug the bolt holes after the cab is painted. Plan to use Eastwood products on the underside. Does anyone have any suggestions, ideas? Thanks

Forgot to ask. Did you rotate, turnover, etc the cab to get to the bottom? I do sand blasting, but for the underside of the cab, running boards and fenders I though I would clean them of scale, then use the Eastwood rust encapsulator. What to you think.

I live in Houston. This is a terrible time of the tear fro sand blasting.
