Flo-Pro dual side exits later on,

soft tonneau for a while until I can save for hard-cover, and

a new cd player, my HIDs killed my Zune's FM xmitter

Alright guys, heres some updated news.

My boss managed to get checks in today instead of Monday, so I immediately topped off after work and then headed to the paint shop. Bad news is that they closed an hour earlier and dont open sunday, so I'm back to my original plan of Monday. Also forgot to put in that my boss gave my Monday and Tuesday off!

Going to take off my door handles and tailgate latch and do them as well. Anyone know a good grit for sanding them down?

1000 or 1500 grit should knock em down smooth prior to spraying. Please do post picture of the work and finished product. Looking bud!

Ehh, well I went to Wally-World and got some 800 to scratch up the primer and I want to say 2000 grit for the white coat. Will 2000 work on them or should I go get some 1000? I was thinking of taking out some interior panels and sanding/paint/clear coating them too to spice up the interior. Whaddya guys think of that? Same process for them as well?

Camera's batteries are charging. I will be waking up bright and early tomorrow and head on out to pick up the paint and then straight to my friends house to apply

Sorry bud, I found a great deal on white XLT mirrors with the turn signals. Only $20/each

I'd pass on any PTM interior pieces..especially white, I just think they'd stick out like a sore thumb. You are doing the right stuff now, don't go overboard.

No...

Those mirrors along with the handles will be WAY to much white.

Zaairmans idea would look great. The chrome mirrors would go along with your grille really well.

And don't paint the interior... Your truck is looking great, don't turn it into those ricer hondas with the spray painted interior.

Yeah, I was thinking about it tonight and thought about those guys with Jap cars and try and spray paint them but look like crap.

I'll have to think on the mirrors. I REALLY like the white ones, but the chrome would match. Everytime I see the chrome ones it reminds me of the cheap Chevy versions which look BLAH

Edit: Would I have to get manual or can I somehow get power mirrors and wire them up?
