Hi Eric because I will still use the blitz as a spray rig for four months of the year it will never be a true restoration so I chose a colour I liked that coud be bought off the shelf in tins and pressure packs. It is a metal preserver and top coat in one so it saves a lot of time as well.

The cab back is on, I made good use of the trouble light I got for Christmas. The front bumper is also on. Next I need to do more cleaning and painting.

Had a setback today, the field high/ low change wouldn't work with the chev transfur case mounted properly, it had been hooked up to a ford case bolted direct to the cross member. So I had to cut it out and clean and paint the tower out of the doner, it has a plate welded inside so it only changes high/low.
