    Four coats of paint really makes the stripping fun, I guess you could call it job security?

    If that is what it takes, so be it, I am doing okay with the panels, it'll be a head turner truck, just wait.

    I've gotten most the panels stripped in my spare time, the cab I may go ahead and call the mobile blaster. I really wish I could find a passenger rear fender but have had zero luck so far, I am asking around at some local shops on fixing the one I have and it's super expensive... I would prefer not to use glass but worst case I get glass rears. We also have the option of buying our own English wheel and fixing it ourselves (basically rebuild almost the whole thing)

    Still working on some cab stuff

    This driver rear doesn't look too bad, lots of little dents and dings but I think we can hammer and shrink all that stuff. Also put the coupe tail lights in.

    Here is what has been happening to seat mount stuff retaining the original seat riser, keeping it clean and being able to hide items underneath.
