Sounds like a good plan, Ghost. I'd like to see some pictures of that truck.

Here are a few pictures of the cab with the body work done and with primer. I haven't been taking too many pictures of this truck. The cab roof was jumped on, and it looked like someone took a shot gun to the back lower so bad that I had to replace a large 20 by 12 inch chunk of  metal. All the holes in the firewall have been filled, and the lower drivers front corner was missing, because of the plan for fenderwell headers. It's getting there.

Ghost  The cab looks great

Looks great and you have a seat to take a nap on when you're done working

Since it's fathers day and I am feeling pretty good, I decided to put some color on the buick parts. It turned out pretty good, but the firewall has some flaws in the body work that I knew about and I am not to concerned about since the big heavy thing sits in front of it, and covers most of the firewall anyway. The color is a 2002 toyota gold champagne.

More.

That's a nice rich looking color Ghost. That's going to look real sharp.   Years back I painted the local bankers Studebaker that similar color (looked the same anyway). Enjoy the day man!

Looks great John!

I love your choice of color and from what I see you don't have to worry about any flaws...Looks great!!

liked the color also, I quess you need to point out the flaws as I didn't see any, Looks great.

It's all in how you hold the camera.    I take better pictures than body work, but the lessons been learned, and the main body will be massaged a lot more before finishing. I simply forgot that I hadn't done the final filling and blocking of some of the patchwork holes on the firewall. OOOPS.  Since it's in the engine bay, I might just leave it.

I guess its all in the look your after, if you ever think that you would say I wish I had went ahead and fixed that. Then take the time and fix the spots as it will haunt you every time you look that way.

I decided I didn't care for the champagne color on the window posts and frames, so I painted them and the grille insert usiing a spray chrome that looks more like aluminum than chrome which I like. It will tone down all the champagne color of the upper body, and I will most likely clear coat them for a tad more shine.

I don't see those flaws, it looks pretty good to me. I do like the color. Nice stuff.

Jeez. I spent 4 hrs installing the cowl vent . Most of it was fixing the brackets that hinge it, and making sure it fit the hole square. The brackets were bent up pretty bad.  I wasn't to gentle taking it out. 
 I am gonna start on the final sanding of the body and parts today. I would like to drive this sometime this year.
