It's been a little bit stressful lately but i've been working on the GMC every free minute. I'm a bit behind my plans but in April, at the latest in May I want to put the cab on the frame.

Let's start with the paint. Tailgate, fenders and the frontmask were painted in Ford Harbor Blue. First try wasn't successful (orange skin) but the second one is OK. I will polish all parts after mounting.

Started with the cab in August. First some epoxy primer. 2 layers. Then some filler work on the roof, rockers and the back. Steve thinks the cab is in good condition. He knows worse ones. Put some underbody protection on the cab. Only in a few places.

After that I started with the third layer EP. Then sanding the roof. Ready for paint (Ford Wimbledon White).

Painting the underbody blue. And here one question, Steve and I are still guessing: is this a low or a high hump? The truck has three on a tree, but we welded the hump in that was laying in the cab

Next steps: sanding inside the cab. Paint it with Nissan beige met (EV0) and after that paint the rest of the cab blue.
