Title: Its getting there
Post by: jay6776 on January 25, 2009, 09:08:22 pm: Well started on it last friday .Worked on it a few days out of the week. And all of to day. Coming out pretty good. Little bit more rust than i was hoping for. But o well. Have to weld in some more patch panels but that should be done this week.. Next I have to fig out what color to paint it. Thats the part I hate the most. I can never pick a color and stick with it. I'll posting a poll soon lol.

Post by: amanderson on January 31, 2009, 07:46:34 am: Do you have the original paint code for the two tone brown? It's usually located in the glove box. My truck is that same color and I want to paint it back original,but the previous owner removed the glove box,which means no paint code for me.

Post by: jay6776 on February 01, 2009, 01:32:24 pm: Well got all the other body work done. Minus the lower front fender patch ( they send me the left side) But when ahead and primmed it up. Looks pretty good.
Now for the really really hard part picking a color. this is the part I hate.
