Geezz...I really should get some work done on this. I still have Old Blue and it's still sitting in the garage.
I'm looking for NOS blue interior parts, or pieces that look new. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks Mike

Make sure to write down notes on the sparying- ie gun inlet pressure, pattern width, distance of gun from sheet metal, etc. They can all make a difference in how the metallic lays down. It is easy to forget those things if there is much of a time in between painting different panels. Notes on thinners used and air temp in the shop would also help. Great Advice...Thank You

I spent the weekend finishing up the cab. With the help of my son in law, we were able to get it back on the chassis. I'm hoping to get things like the dash, steering column, and brakes completed while I smooth out the doors and front fenders. After setting the cab on the chassis, it seemed unbelievable that its going back together. I was just about to give up hope on it. I've done a lot of research regarding appling paint and I think I'm getting the hang of it. I'm hoping by the time I spray out the other panels, I'll have it dialed in perfect. Stay tuned....

That looks great, nice color combo, and looks like excellent quality work. I've got a '79 Macho coming along at about the same state of completion:

Another update......The bed and some trim are all that are left. It's been so long since this truck was together, it seems like a dream having it this far.
