She's on her way back home. Next up is sound deadening/insulation, installation of audio system, and final re-assembly of interior.

Been doing sound deadening/insulation, QPM, and audio wiring.

Getting closer. Three of four doors are done. Just need to finish the driver door.
Got the Morel Virtus Nano components in the passenger door with the Solvefunction tweeter mounts, a 3D printed trim ring for the door speaker, and slight modifications to the door card.

Finally have all four door cards in, so now I could finally drive it home and do the first wash and wax. 6M1 in the sun.

What's your assessment of the Macropoxy after time and use? I'm curious because if it's survived the MI winters, it'll likely survive anywhere.Finally have all four door cards in, so now I could finally drive it home and do the first wash and wax. 6M1 in the sun.

BTW, you have the best color of any 80; I'm totally biased - 6M1 was my first. Really gorgeous truck.

The Macropoxy is still solid, but I have not subjected it to any wintry weather. After it was back on the road, I put about 4,700 miles on it (summer/fall) before it got shipped to Arizona for paint. Now that it is back and the paint/body are perfect, I'm probably going to park it as soon as it is salt season.
