Thanks for the input! At this point Bentley is still undecided so this might turn into a surprise reveal later on.

Here's a cool bit of custom work- what do you do when you lack a decent headliner? Of course there are several methods for this issue but we wanted this interior with it's late model Mustang cues to have that same level of smoothness and refinement to the headliner and other interior panels. The solution we have going on here is flip the truck upside down, fill the roof cavity with a special foam, shape the foam and fiberglass over it, and then add a thin skimcoat of metal glaze to smooth and even it all out. This will be wrapped in leather and then trim pieces will be made to finish off the edges.

More details coming in here and underneath the cab, stay tuned!

Nice! I like the darker blue towards the front of the hood.

While the cab was in the body work booth getting final sanding and the bottom bed lined the back half of the truck was in the paint booth making the transition from busted up to BMW blue and beautiful. As usual Bob laid down some sweet hue which after curing will get buffed to a glass-like finish. To be continued...

Thanks fellas!

"Hey, hey we're jammin'" ... and sprayin' ...

Laying down the base coat on the cab and you can't help but think this blue shade even looks nice in satin too, right?
