Yeah, it's pretty cool! On my computer, the pics have a little purple cast to the gray paint, but in person it's totally gray. I liked it so much it's made me add gray to the potential colors for my '37!

Yeah, the truck is actually like a gun metal gray...

I will put on my cheer leading out fit also ( dont get a mental pic ) . Randy the deck looks great from what you started with . I think a English wheel set loose on the tail panel would roll out most of that , this I would like to try the theory .

You keep plugging away and you will have it in paint sooner then you think .

I picked up the Cougar Sunday played a bit till it started , made a lot of racket like the trans is loose . The owner said the guy had started to pull every thing so it may be . I work with him so his word is good . He said they bought it in 1978 , his wife had a little accident . She started to have it redone by a guy same story it sat and they brought it home . But he also said it's been sitting almost 30 years .

Got it home and put power to the top , It's been down the whole time . It came up Hydraulics still work strong but top shrunk bad had to use a strap to pull it down and lock it . After sitting all night some of the seems are opening up LOL . Glad tops are cheap $250 .

Cool, Bobby, it's even got some Cragers on it!! It's gonna be a sweet ride!

Thanks for the kudos on my lid! Now, if I only had an English wheel to work on that pan....

Too Late... where's a sharp pencil when you need one? I didn't need that eye!

That is a marvelous color/paint! I wish I had seen it in person.
