I just got my truck back from paint and started reassembling it. Here are a few before and after shots.

Thanks ICEMAN,

I couldn't figure out how to get the links to work. I guess there is a trick to liking to pics in the user albums.

Oh now that I figured out the trick to posting out of the albums.

Here's what the paint looks like in the sunlight.

And a shot of the interior with the sound deadening installed.

I picked them out form paint chips, but the correspond to factory colors.

I believe the blue is an actual Ford color, Indigo Blue. I think the silver/gray is a Nissan color, but I'm not sure about the name.

Nice work! Will look very sharp when finished and polished up.

I'm close to having her done. It's taking forever because I've been on travel most of this year.

I finished up polishing the aluminum molding. I couldn't get all the dings and scratches out, but it makes for a good 10 footer job. The exterior is finished except for the F100 and Custom Cab badges.

The interior is looking good as well. We test fit the headliner. I still need to take it back out and line up the screw holes, its one of the abs plastic ones. Over my last few chances to work on it we got the carpet, a/c, and seats all put in the interior. The a/c is one of the Classic Auto Air units, I still have to finish running lines under the hood and it will be ready to go.

I still need to find the molding that goes around the door panel for the drivers side, I have the passengers side.

I'm really closing in on having her done. My next chance to work on her will likely be over memorial day weekend. It looks like I may wrap it up on my next trip. Hopefully I will at least be able to drive her again. Then I can clean her up and get some pictures out in the sunlight.

lookin' real nice BlueGhost. what are the seats outof? keep up the great work... Anthony

BlueGhost · Post by **BlueGhost** » April 30, 2009, 5:00 pm

Seats are aftermarket from ebay. The center console is fixed and the driver and passenger seats move independently. We used the rails form my stock seat and mounted the new seat frame to them.
