Got my longhorn primed and sanded(just cab and front clip)box will be next project. Hopefully if I can get the garage warm enough I can shoot the white on cab roof and all the center panels--Happy Thanksgiving day

looks like you are doing a great job. do you do all of your own body work? what other color is it going to be?

Thanks guys! Seems like I am moving in low gear doing all the body work first. Yea I do my own body work , only because I couldn't afford to do this any other way. Kind of a learn as you go kind of thing.This board has been unlimited help.This one was the worst so far. Had to cut out some of the floor and cab corners and rockers and floor supports. It's not alot of fun till your past those stages and you can look back and know you did it yourself. I take alot of before and after pictures so that I can see the progress. One thing I did learn is there is alot of differences in repair panels. I don't think I would do LMC panels again. At least not their cab corners. The truck was and hopefully will be Bronze and white.Not sure what colors to do the interior panels dash and headliner yet. Debating between parchment or parchment and black mix. Any bronze truck owners out there with interior pics?
