Then we had my uncle come up who spent his career as an art teacher, he taught us a bunch of stuff about art and color wheels and helped us decide on upholstery colors, Now we are pulling the engine again soon and tearing it apart cause it needs to be repainted. It was orange when I got it and I just knew I didn't want it black or purple so I left it alone... Total pain in the ass but it needs to look like we had a plan and knew what we was doing. :D
See, I told you, it's beautiful! The truck that is!! LOL
Got the cab moved over and engine repainted.

Nice work on the engine! Whose front drive system is that? It's very clean with the blackout with polished internal surfaces!

Thanks, hopefully we can get cab on chassis and start working on cab stuff soon. Sanding that bed is gonna be a pain.Quote:

It is looking very nice! Great work!
Quick little video since it's hard to photograph the paint, better in person.

Nice video, that color is really "right" on the truck, anxious to see it with the front sheet metal and box installed!
Should be over sanding the bed...

Sound deadening I think is pretty much done, wiper motor is in, couple dash items in place, headliner arrived, seat pans mounted, one seat in, need other seat in so we can mock up and build a center console.
Sat in it and made some engine noises
Attachment 74983
Nice, love your gauges and dash.
vroom vroom! LOL.. as always - looks nice
It's looking very nice! I really want some dakota digital gauges for mine but I have other places that money could go unfortunately.
Couple glass items installed, seats, engine items assembled. Carpet on the way, need to build a center console, figure out seat and door panel design...

Fun stuff, looking forward to getting to that point on my truck.
Some of this is definitely more fun than body work/paint, sanding. We got plenty of that left to do, been really cold here lately.Quote:

I didn't myself but the neighbor has been making it. We'll be doing all the upholstery.Quote:
