There are places inside the doors, that were never painted at the factory. Needless to say, they have a nice thick coating of surface RUST! Ow. So, I been sanding (by hand, no tool will fit in these doors) and treating this rust for days!
I have also been working on the window regulator for the drivers side. I guessed it would be much easier to purchase a new regulator from LMC truck, than to fashion a new gear. While I was there, I got matching ignition and door locks and some new knobs.Another $230 - this truck is getting expensive!
The triangle windows latches were broken. Not reparable.
Lucky for me, I had two spare windows in my shed! I fixed em up good, and sanded off all the rust, and primed them. They are all ready for a nice color coat. Should I use white, black, or blue? Hmmmmm.
Man, I am almost ready to put this truck back together. This thing is going to last 10 more years easy!
WARNING! do not spray paint in your eyes! It hurts! BAD!
