I am still working on door gaps, its very time consuming building metal to fix gaps. The repop doors are shorter than originals by a fraction of an inch but I am to anal to leave it. its also truck show season so it is taking time away, hope to get the car in primer by end of summer.
Very impressive. Nothing wrong with anal, thats what sets excellent work above just good work. Healthy to have a good break enjoying that gorgeous truck. Are you close to the coast or are you inland?

Cool. Caught a really good show years ago just south of Sunset Beach when we were camping there. Was at an estate with all kinds of plants the owner had brought from around the world. It was a super spot for a show. Was lots of nice Oregon iron there.

Thx guys, body going back on frame for good this weekend, will sell the rotisserie as I don't want to do a complete again like this. I used base clear for paint, it is Limco, cheaper paint on firewall and underneath as will be the trunk, but I will step up to Diamont for exterior, 475.00 a gallon, ouch.

soon it will be done.
Painted the frame finally, now onto underside, hands are taking a toll from 4 days of grinding, sucks getting old.
what colour you doing the interior ?
I am trying to find a kit with ivory as I want to reuse my door panels, plus roof will always be down and don't want black.

Well, it has been a long weekend but happy with the progress.
