I think you're right! A beautiful day here today, Glorious sunshine all day. So obviously I spent it buried in the garage. Very tempted to go out somewhere for the day, to a car show or something, but if I keep doing that, this thing'll never get finished. So I took the drivers door off & started final filling & rubbing down of the sill & door opening.

The chassis under the cab needs a damn good scrub clean & a liberal coat of rust killer. I've ordered a fresh bottle of Fertan rust killer from Ebay. Not cheap, but seems to work.
I was curious to see what the Cuprinol paint looked like on the wooden bed. Looks almost white in these pics, but is actually not bad. It'll take a few coats to build up the colour though -they advertise it as showing the beauty of the woodgrain, which means it's very thin & doesn't cover very well.
I tried various paint finishes on one of the bonnet sections a while ago. The top one is gloss paint sprayed with matt lacquer, which is probably what I'll go for. It's a bit pale but it was very cold when I sprayed it & I think it "bloomed" a bit. Not a bad match for the woodwork though.

I've sprayed the metal post caps in the same paint as the cab, so even if the woodwork isn't an exact match, they will be.
This isn't permanent, it's just this season's look. A quick thrown together set-up to get the Pop on the road. The steel pick-up bed's been sat outside in all weathers for 3 years & needs shotblasting, then rust proofing, filling, sanding & painting, so will take months.
So this'll do for the Summer. It's growing on me.
Once I'm done with the door opening, I need to paint the chassis & get the bed bolted on properly.
