IN PRIMER - mostly

well, today is a day I have been waiting for for several months. Just got most of my 72 XLT in primer. Still have to finish the bed and a couple other spots, wet sand and then we're ready for paint.

truck was originally Wind Blue/Wimbledon White - as in my avatar. Think I'm going with Bahama Blue/Wimbledon White - but may reverse colors where blue is in the middle.
Still kinda undecided but have to make up my mind soon.

HA - I can believe that. I'm at about $10,000 right now and it was a pretty solid truck to begin with. But - that's part of the game with old cars. You wind up with $20,000 in a $10,000 vehicle. Saw an unbelievable streetrod go thru BJ - owner/builder had $500,000 in cost - sold for $175,000. ouch
