Looking forward to some pics of the well body during the restore. The swage is doing a great job on the floor pans shame to cover them with vinyl. Whats the plan on sound deadening I went with the Australian made stuff stops the cab drumming and gives the speakers good bass in the doors. When the windows are up stuff all road noise enters the cab worth the money.
Very nice work mate not cutting corners are you.

This Paint Code mix may be beneficial to others who want to get the right Color Tint.
These tints are no longer available but a good Paint Company can translate into modern tints. We had to adjust slightly by eye match to get original Color.
