Not much to update with pictures Mark. I've spent a bunch of my free time sanding primer. The quarters, roof, doors, tailgate, door jambs, are all ready for orange. The hood is new, so I'm hoping it won't be much work. Still have to do a final primer/blocking of the bed. Then the nos fenders will be last. I also spent some time tracking down a few parts, I still needed. I pretty much have everything I need now. I have some stainless steel polishing to do, and I think the car will be ready to assemble after paint. Albert got us both complete wire harnesses kits for both cars, so we're all set with wires. It's all down hill now. Just have to find the time to finish it all up. More pics soon.

Hey folks.. I haven't posted any progress pics since mid June, mostly because there's nothing real exciting about sanding body panels day after day. Anyway, I finally have the 69 Elky ready for paint. I spent a good part of one day masking and a good part of another painting the bed, door jambs, interior and roof. Now with the bed/door jambs finished, I will install the doors, then mask off the bed and roof, close the doors, and paint the whole outside. The bed was the biggest project, but it came out better than I would have ever expected. The extensive body work was well worth the time, and the countless 4 letter words I spread around the work area, were well worth it in the end. I spent almost 2 months getting the bed straight.

Here's a couple before/after pictures. More to come, when I can get some spray booth time..
