Not sure if I posted any pics. after putting the chrome wheels and bucket seats in. My son has been working on it a little at a time and really enjoys driving it. We are now looking for a extended cab or crew cab Frontier because he is 6'3 at 15 and he is gonna need more leg room. If we find him another truck I think I will keep this one for the memory's of doing the resto with him.

Thanks guys, we had a bunch of fun working on this one. Never really had a timeline for any of the work so no steps were missed and I think the results show the value in taking your time to get things the way you like them. I have one regret, we used some Rustoleum rust converter on the roof and the Nasson single stage paint did not like it, when the primer and paint did their chemical bonding the treatment curdled up some causing some paint to flake off after about 8 mos. I used the rust converter inside the tail light housing with acrylic laquer and had fantastic results.
