Oh well I am happy with how it looks. Going to pick it up from the father-in-laws house today and bring it home.
mr_doles:
It is back home again. Next weekend I will be working on the inside...if I have my PCB by then.
Orange came out good. There are some touchups that need to be done on the front where I taped up though.
Looking good. Still not ready to take off the plastic yet.

It looks tight !

Don't fret. the vinyl wouldn't have saved you any work. Your cab would still have needed the bondo and sanding work as well as the painting. In fact, you would have had to take it to it's current state and then put on the vinyl (so technically, it's not too late if you want to use it). The vinyl is thin and will show every bump and dent on the cab as well as be impacted by the underneath color.

Well I already put about $70 worth for paint, primer, paint stripper, gloves, brushes, etc... I think that it will stay this way. I have book marked that page for future endeavors. <gets yelled at by wife for just thinking of getting another one> ;D
