The paint is faded now and has started to chip in some places.
I don't believe they used the right primer under the paint because it is not adhearing very well to the paint.
So it all has to be sanded down to the metal, and when I pull off the chrome molding there were a few rust
hole where dirt got trapped behind it and rusted thru. I have fixed a few of the holes all ready but have to
buy skins for the lower doors and install them.
That looks like a pretty nice little truck there, Kurt. Is that an original ford blue? Too bad it's chipping and peeling. I'm not sure where you live but I'd check craigslist & pickapart for possible replacement doors before reskinning those. Good doors can usually be found pretty cheap on these truck and it might save you a lot of labor. Just a thought. I just bought 2 really nice rust-free doors for my 66 for $100/pr. That was cheaper than doing the repairs on my existing doors. Of course, I still have to paint them.
