STL's 1989 project truck
The look I wanna go for minus the rims and hood
 Tore into the interior will be tackling the body hopefully soon The inside was NASTY carpet was moldy. There is a water leak somewhere around the back window. Should be replacing that some time Under the carpet was nice and clean. need new floor rubber grommets for the passenger side Onto the pictures 4/30/09       1989 Ford Factory speakers made by Jensen    Carpet all tore out  Found this under the carpet had all the truck info on it. Guess it was a build sheet  Also removed the very large side mirrors. Will be replacing with smaller ones   I tackled the headliner. Came out okay need to do it again with some help from 2 other people to get it right Has some wrinkles around the corners Tell me what you think Have yet to reinstall the new visors I got Before  After installed   Tore into the exterior fenders are trash head lights and turn signals need replaced chrome rings around them are okay I kinda fill like I am at work working on this truck. Who ever repainted it and did the body work decided it was to hard to put some bolts back into the spots so it was relatively easy. Same thing happens at work when we go to pull a engine out shop before us forgot some bolts to fenders Sprayed engine down with simple green only got the intake clean HAHA Intake before:  After:     Clean on left dirty on right   Cleaned just left half  2 front end's Im thinking about 1: Minus the bug deflector & fender flare deals  2:

Tough call on the front clips...but I think I am leaning towards the second option more. Are you going to get some side skirts and a roll pan?? Sticking with the OEM hood? Any plans for the engine/suspension??
Really digging that headliner by the way! Carpet going back in for the floor??

Those wheels are badass man! What are you going to do with the paint? Freshen up or completely new? Seamless being a metal one that you weld to the bed sides?

The two-tone is sweet. I think I like the all black one a bit better, though.
It kind has the look of something I always wanted to do - paint a vehicle with flat paint, then pile on the clearcoat.

The last few years at the auto show here in Detroit the Lamborghini's have been sporting flat paint jobs. If it's good enough for a Lambo, it''s good enough for anything else!
