Where I'm at with my '79 Build, almost done!

Here is where I'm at with my '79 Build I call PopPop after my late Father.
Just finishing up the interior and I have a wood bed on order.
I made a YouTube video showing the truck in more detail, please check it out.

I thought blue before you said it. There are cool things you can do with stain like do the first coat black and sand it off and then do blue. General Finishes makes some good stuff. Killer truck!

I was looking into this company.

Thanks for that bedwood.com link, I didn't know there were other companies offering a similar option.
