Newport News, Va.
Hi everyone! Well we have progress. Doors are installed now. I think it was Dave From Delta who sold me the decals but they are AWESOME! Perfect! Floated them in place with a spritz of water and BOOM! PERFECT!
Doors hung beautifully. Body lines matched like a charm. Sure it's no 58' Thunderbird but we have a 1967 military truck that's been through hell and back so everything looks good to me! Even after my garbage bodywork work, they still came out good.
Vent windows installed and waiting on some gaskets to arrive and then we will install the roll up windows.
I went with 24VDC window wipers and hid the wires in old school vacuum hose to mask as much as I could.
Bed heads to the sandblaster/painter tomorrow.
Yes, the old PRC-77 works (W4CPO) and the old steel pot is actually mine from my old days.
Hope you all enjoy.
