Can't wait to see it done! What wheels do you have on it? The simulators look good. I've got to do something to dress up the wheels on my F350.

Hey FLATBED, I've been waiting on yuo to chime in,I got done with my paint today(too wet to work) it turned out good I used a fleet white and it is bright! I forgot my camera again buy i've got to go back to the shop tonight to put it up so i'll take some pics then. My wheels are off a mid 90's E350 I bought the simulators from Ebay for about 80 bucks.

Well i'm done with paint for a while until wet sanding and buffing.My pics are kind of late in the day so i may have to get more tomorrow.I got my mirrors on today,new cab lights,door weatherstrip and put the bumper on. i also put a new exaust system on from the headers back,I used Cherry Bomb turbo's because I didn't want anything too loud it sounds just like I wanted. I still have to put the front and back glass in and it's ready for the road. :woohoo:

I made a post of this but didn't put it in my Project Updates. I used a sheet of that 1/8 " pegboard without the holes i got it from lowes for $9, the material is a leather look vinyl I got from Wal mart for $3 a yard, it took two, A can of spray adhesive for $6, So for $21 dollars i redone my headliner and it looks great.

:thup:, Your truck is coming along great! I really like the way the paint and headliner turned out on your truck and can't wait until I get to that stage on my build. Also I've never heard of Cetari or Western paint :? Is it exclusive to a certain paint store or something? That and what paint did you choose to use for your final coat? I've had good luck with duplicolor products :thup: if that's what you used. Coming along nicely though and can't wait for the next update :thup:!

A couple more of my interior, I painted my instrument cluster with some chrome paint, unbelieveably it came out looking great, definately a lot better than that yellow looking faded chrome.

And the next project is my E bay find for $80 bucks a windshield visor, I got it painted last night, now I have to get some screws to put it on. I have to remove one of my cab lights to install it which means removing the headliner,so that will be another day.

69FlatBed,

Looking sharp man!
I've had the Lund visor on my wish list for awhile, they're getting pretty hard to find these days.
The LED's look sharp too! :thup:
