Default Brought Idaho home yesterday

The 83 Idaho I bought a while back is home now from the paint shop. I need to wait until the paint is curred before I can decal it and putting in the equipment but not until the WI is done. They had to strip it down because the buyer from the auction Macco painted it when he got it back when and the second Macco job was done by the guy I got it from. The thick, cheap Macco paint twice caused small cracks all over so they had to get to the metal. Here are some pictures, one shows the cracking.

Thanks for the compliments everyone. The decaling and equipment intalling is on hold until I get the WI ready to show.

Bill: I have more pictures but are just of the progress in the paint shop and of the advertised pictures.

Mike: I was hoping to have it ready for the Woodward cruise in Michigan but not this year. I drive by Holland when I visit my daughter and maybe attend some of the shows in Michigan so I may meet you at one of them.

Sounds great! Not sure if I'll make Mustang Alley this year at Woodward or not, myself. My 93 Missouri State Highway Patrol SSP will probably be getting wrapped up/ready to show late summer or early fall if all goes well.
