Guess you need to decide what your happy medium is between glass smooth perfection and some "character" in the finish. And shoot for that.

Technically speaking, Danny doesn't do shit on the vehicles himself, he's just the owner/face of Kount's Kustoms, but his lead painter Ryan does magic in that paint shop and that hand turned gold leaf/double pinstriping job on that old GM fire truck was absolutely gorgeous.

Kount's Kustoms in Las Vegas did an episode where they restored an old GM fire truck for the Truckee FD and Danny did an absolutely gorgeous, hand painted/leafed double pinstripe job on it.

You may have to mask them off and VERY carefully work your way up to and along the edge of them.

Well from your post above, it seems all your issues stem from your using your left foot on the throttle pedal. Try using your right foot like everybody else in North America does.😁

Well, if the main issue is the rotted rubber base gaskets, and the lenses and housings are acceptable enough for you to reuse pretty much as-is because you're not going for a 90+ point show truck, but a survivor in really good original condition, then just find a generic set by Signal Stat of...

Also if any local bone yards handle medium-duty or heavy duty trucks you may be able to find the same or similar marker lights on a vehicle there.

Ebay! Yeah, and on there what a Seller "asks" and what an item is actually worth are often two things very far apart!

Population control if there wasn't any birth control available at the time of the act that got her pregnant and also reinforcing Darwin's survival of the fittest, both physically (surviving the accident) and mentally (not getting on the damn thing in the first place) to improve the species!

Gen X? Son, MD20/20, Boone's Farm, TJ Swann and all of those were around LOOONG before you were! I was drinking them (well, only TJ Swann if we/I couldn't get some beer or hard alcohol) when I was in high school back in the mid-1970s! They even predate us Boomers!

Great news! On with the build!

Ah, yes, but they were the cheap nectar that made horny teens' dreams come true - or wound up being spewed under high velocity all over their friends' back seat an hour later!

Could also check the Classifieds in Hemmings for NOS. Those are generic, not IH specific, marker lights and were used on lots of commercial vehicles during that time period.

VERY impressive! People are going to think it was a repaint, not the original, if they're not 6" away! That roof looks beautiful! Can't wait for you to do the rest of the truck!

That's right. But, regardless, that should NOT be a 2½" turbo downpipe on the Banks Stinger system. Go recheck you're measurements and make sure you're not reading your tape measure upside down.

Why are you using a Stinger system in the first place? Banks designed that system for turbocharging the NA 6.2 in the old body style ('73 - '91, such as the CUCV) and had a 2½" turbo downpipe to clear between the cab firewall and frame. A 2½" turbo downpipe will negate a lot of the power you're...

And it's RED!!!

But a helluva lot cheaper than stripping filling, priming and all the sanding between coats and then the cost of shooting it, sanding between color coats and final buff out. The best part too is when somebody asks you if it was repainted, you can say with pride that it's the nearly 70 year old...

You should've seen the size of the bore brush for the 105mm main gun on my M60A3 tank!
