Re: 69 D100 drag truck, finally "done"..what was I thinking?

Thanks for the compliments! I'm looking for a set of hood letters. They don't have to be perfect, but I would like a set with solid studs.

I promise I will find a video to share soon!

Re: Door glass removal sequence

Thanks! I guess my real question is, what is the sequence to take the glass and wing window out without removing the upper door frame? I want to paint the doors as the factory did with the frame on and then install the glass and wing. I'm confident I could figure this out eventually, but the galss a...

Correct White roof color or paint code

I'm looking for the correct color for the white on the roof, grille and bumper of a 1969 D100. I have sprayed out 69 dodge truck white and 69 spinnaker white. Both of these colors are a little darker/cream colored than I thought they would look like. I was expecting a brighter white, but I can't fin...
