Thanks! I'm so excited I will have to remind myself to slow down when putting it all back together so I don't scratch anything.

 

[DAD2SIX]

It's finally all coming together.

That is amazing. Thinking back I remember you saying you didn't know if you were going to keep it from day one. And now look how nice it is!!!!

That is awesome.

I know. I love it now. I just got the first coat of herculiner put on. I also painted my new calipers red. I had a new windshield cut but when they showed up to install it, the windshield was too small!!
They said they must have messed up and would cut another and put in in Friday.

I really like the apron emblems. What color are they painted? They look like a smoke gray or something.

 

[DAD2SIX]

Just gloss black.

I love the white with blacked-out trim details! How much did it cost to get a windshield cut?

 

[RWBeringer4x4]

What shade of white did you use? Is it one of the Toyota whites?

100.00 installed. I supplied the gasket

Not a Toyota white. Its called PENSKE White.

Looking good!!

 

[DAD2SIX]

Thank you. I stayed up till 4am putting it back together. Hoping the Bed liner would dry so I could do the second coat. It was still a little tacky when I went to bed. Anyway got up this morning and finished the second coat. Man it looks great!!
I got it from autozone. One kit was just the right amount for the tub and floorboards. If I can find some helpers I will put the cage back in it tonight! Along with the seats.

I haven't been a fan of the rhino lining until now! With your paint job and welding that rhino lining finishes it off well.
Nice job.

My new besttop rear fold n tumble rear seat showed up today. I also painted my grill and emblem.

LOL I would need a 55 with a 3rd row to do that!

But 3 of them are the ever elusive seldom seen (except at feeding time) teenagers!

So seating for 5 will work ok.

You need to post up a before and after pics when you finish her up,impressive job.

X2 on the before and after pictures. This 65 has come a long way in the last 9 months. Looks great, now it's snow camo.
