Gone to Paint

Well, the F1 has finally gone to paint.  Sunday November 1st 2015 we loaded Daddy's Little Fatty on a trailer and sent it on down the river to Warsaw IL (about 43 miles south of me) to Jeff Crow for the final prep and then the paint.  We went to Abbotts Paint supply in Quincy Il, on Tuesday Nov 3rd to buy the paint and other supplies that will be needed for the paint job.  We  then decided on what will be the final paint scheme, which is a two tone, and where the cut line will be.  Jeff will now do some final prep and then we will take the truck all apart again. The cab will be painted first, off the chassis. When it is all buffed out, we will put it back on the chassis and bring that back home.  Jeff will finish the rest of the parts over the winter and should be ready for final assembly next spring.
When I get the chassis and the cab back, I can then start on the wiring. Never done one of those, so that part should be interesting. I am actually looking forward to it.  This new coat will totally change the looks.  There is a light at the end of the tunnel.
