Removed the front ornamental cross bar
Removed civy double latch bar
Filled the two quarter sized holes
drilled holes for the BO lamp

Yep ... Gillespie #24087 over Red oxide Primer over an Epoxy primer. red oxide over the Epoxy just to ensure correct color. As for the rest of the truck being straight ... here is a pic I previously posted that shows the cab. I'll see if i can get one of the doors later ... still working on the fenders and bed.

You sir do marvolous work! I was surprised to see the old style turn signal instead of the new solid state ones? Was that for authentic OEM? Or is it a case of that's what I had so I'm reusing it?

Gillespie #24087 Does this paint scratch easily in brush?
