Wow and wow....... I had to take a triple take to make sure I was reading it right. Its Done...... Of course I had to flip back sevaral pages to catch up where I left off, but man that video was crazy funny. LOL

Thanks for the mention in the credits. All I ever did was flip you crap and call you slow. LOL. I guess all that patience paid off in the end because that is amazing.

Oh, Holy S!

:notworthy:

That's just too awesome! Can't even find the words to try and compliment you on the finalized MCP. It's just beyond incredible!

And yeah, thanks for the amazing reveal video too! You've really set the bar high on future cab reveals.. :)

Thanks!

Awesome just awesome.

The only thing sadder than seeing it done is the fact that I've been around here since the first post. ;) Where has my life gone - lol

Did you end up using the Sutherland Wells tung oil? It was hard to see in the kick --I'm attempting to get by the auto-censor and should be beaten after I re-read the rules-- vid.

Can we have some still pics? ;D

Pixelhugger:
Yes 4 coats of their med. lustre polymerized tung oil for the everything but the curved panels, which they recommmended finishing with their tung oil wiping varnish.

The tung oil is ridiculously easy to use. And the result was exactly the hand rubbed soft glow I had hoped for. Thanks again for pointing me to Sutherland Welles. Great company. The individual who takes your call knows the product and can offer great advice...it felt like a family company. It's definitely more expensive, but worth it, I did get a lot more coverage than I had expected but it's still probably about 50% more expensive than a typical polyurethane.

You were right about touch up and refinishing. Since I had applied it long before finishing the curved panels, rear door and front of the CP, the sides had gotten pretty banged up after the finishing from being in the garage and from test fitting panels. I just had to random orbit sand with 220 to remove gouges and rub some more oil on and you can't tell. It's exactly what I need with the kids around. I'll gladly sacrifice a little bit of scratch resistance from not using poly for the flexibility of rubbing in a little more oil if I ever need to spot sand. It's awesome stuff.
