and this is what happens when the cat sneaks into your paint booth before you close to the door for the night.

After cat removed, the truck gets finally painted. after blowing out the cat hair and retaping what he destoyed. still have the bed and a few small pieces to go along with the tailgate. The color is Blue ago go. it's a PPG two stage shopline. it was a medium hardner so had to get it on quickly. it came out pretty good. anxious to start getting the rest painted and get the truck put together.

I've been able to get some work done in the last two weeks since the cab was painted. Most of the interior is in and I replaced the wiring harness. Cleaning and painted small pieces here and there. Hoping to get the bumpers and grill painted Friday. I still have the bed to get bodyworked and painted. At least I can drive it in and out of the shop.

I went through the old speedo gauge and cleaned everything up and repaired the lights to work. Covered the idiot lights and repaired the high beam light and covered it with a green tint cover. Replaced the dome light as well.

At least we can enjoy riding in this one until her's is done. Thinking about Ford Azure Blue for this truck.
I like the ride height. Is that pre or post DJM beams? Are those west Texas mesquite trees in your photos?
