Cab corners are blended. Not 100%happy with the back paint. It has some dark and light spots. I didn't have good light when I painted. My bad!! But to be honest it matches the back of the cab!! I got it all polished and ready for the box!
Also got the steering rack installed!

Another fine build. Is this a keeper, flipper or are you building it for someone?

Got the rear axle all cleaned up re-welded and painted. The welds on the axle were not pretty nor strong. I also got the transmission mount built l, cleaned up painted and installed. I reinstalled the rear links and I hope to get the rear axle underneath of it soon

Lookin' good LB!
The paint blend may not even be noticed by lots of people with he majority of the body sporting real patina. Too many fauxtina jobs go too far and just lose their credibility making you wonder why they didn't just do a real paint job...

I agree, I hate fake patina jobs. I think that's why I'm being so critical on what I did. All together like you said it probably won't even be noticed
