Today I bought some DupliColor Vinyl/ Fabric Medium Blue paint for my gauge pod. It kind of matches, but Im real picky, so ill probably keep working at finding a better match. Friday I called SEM paint company, and they said the code is 4368 and color is Dark Regatta Blue. He told me to call Vinyl Pro to order it, but Im kinda leery of ordering it and paying the price not knowing if it will actually match mine or not. But anyways, for now its blue at least and I may do some blending some other shades and make it work. I put a screw or two in it just to see how it looked mocked up, I got a pic, but its not a good pic because its not mounted tight, its just sitting in place and you cant really see the color. Hopefully this week I can run all the wires and mount it in place. I also put my timing cover plate back on the engine, fuel pump, oil cooler, balancer and water pump. Tomorrow I hope to mount flywheel and clutch, then hopefully bolt the transmission to the engine. Im going to set them in the frame together since I work alone, and my cab in raised off frame, so clearance wont be an issue. My studs should be ordered soon. Besides that, I think I have everything else. Im about to get really serious on this project, because now with holiday season coming, and the weather getting colder, Im kinda ready to be done messing with it for this year. Ill post more progress in the next day or two. It feels really good for parts to actually be going back on the truck. Before installing the insulation and carpet the other day, I had only been taking parts OFF of the truck since early summer. And yes, I just noticed how bad my cheap windshield tint strip has turned purple since I stopped driving it, ill put that on my list to do as well, lol.
