It was about a week ago in that last post that the first coat of color was applied, cab on its back, paying particular attention
to the underside and some of the harder to get at areas. Since then, we’ve oriented the cab to a more normal position and sprayed
additional layers of the basecoat Light Jadestone Metallic.
The dash is Gloss White, and as you all know only the bottom half will eventually show. We're going to put a black vinyl dash pad on top.
A few days later he set about laying-on multiple coats of clear, inside and out. Getting the cab solid and having it look
as good as it does is really motivating in that the vision is becoming a reality. He’s starting to see the actual results of all his
hard work and stick-to-it-tiveness. We’re at a point where we're dealing with fewer of the previous-owner issues
and the work is less of a grind and more uplifting.
And while were on the subject of “uplifting”; yesterday he, his brother, and I got together after work & school and were
able to collectively maneuver the cab out of the garage and back up & onto the frame without a bump or a scratch to his
new paint. This is it in this frosty morning's early sunlight hours.
