Re: [B]65 Stepside Frame off Resto[/B]

The cab is finally primed!! After taking a week off to move my daughter we were able to get back to the cab. The timing couldn't have been better. When we started to work on preparing the cab on Tuesday we discovered a number of spots where the cab was starting to flash. We have had some warm and humid weather here, finally. We got the spots cleaned up and cleaned the cab and got the first coat of etch primer on. Yesterday we got the second coat on.

After we were done and enjoying a beer it dawned on us that we have spent 16 weeks on the cab dating back to the end of January. It has been a journey so I will have to post some before and after pictures below.

Here are the before shots:

Here is the drivers side which was our "good" side:

While the firewall would not even register on the Bomp scale, I am pretty happy with how clean it turned out.
