For the last two months I've been working on a 78 trailduster I picked up from Ny for my familys camp plow truck. Well I'm just about ready for paint now. Just sprayed in in primer last night and will block it out tonight and spray 78-90 bright yellow tuesday. It's going to look just like my yellow and black ramcharger I used to have. It was coolest looking one that I had, but not the cleanest. This truck is pretty clean but I had to replace the lower quarters, floorpans were all really nice. I'll have some pictures of the progress tommrow. Here's a picture before I tore it all apart.

Here's what it's going to look like, but with plow rigging. I picked up an old dodge powerwagon that has plow rigging already on it for $400.00. It looks to be in decent shape so hopefully it will all work. I'll paint the plow blade the same color as the truck.

Alright here's some pictures of it, not quite done with it yet. Still need to do the stripes, finish dying the interior, paint the tail gate, hood and roof.

another shot. I used a really cheap one step paint and sanded it with 1500 grit and buffed. Came out pretty decent for a gallon of $100 paint.

Other things on the list to do are, put new radio in, and put the correct 4wd shifter handle in it, front bumper.
