Little hint when spraying wet the floor down to keep the dust down.

This isn't my shop. Nor am I doing the body and paint. I'm paying a guy with 35 years experience to do it right. Thanks for the tip though.

Base colors on. Clear coat next. Then he said he'll spend 3 days wet sanding and buffing.

It's coming along. Doors got all the window rubbers and felts. Which I had my doubts would fit well, but surprisingly they are very good fitting. Got them from LMC.

I ordered a bunch more stuff late last week, so it'll be another week before the truck is truly finished, but it'll be on the road this week.

Looks good, Ray.  You will enjoy it, I'm sure!

How 'bout driving it this way in September so Holly can visit family?  (And you can come to the show?)

That's a possibility. I'm taking little Ray on his 13th birthday Man trip. We are thinking of heading toward Dallas and looking for an F150 to pull home.

Decided to try those mud flaps LMC sells.

Those mud flaps look nice!

And appear to be sturdy.

They do look good.    Probably should have a set on Big Blue for the upcoming outing as it is likely to get muddy.

I've got some for the rear also, but can't install them until I get the exhaust done. The tailpipe currently comes out too close to where the flap will hang. I need to move it back 8" or so.

They are easy to install. They come with black screws and plastic push pins. I used only the black screws.

Also, I'm using them to help protect my new paint. I have a 125 yard long gravel driveway.
