    I was going to go with light blue and white but changed to orange at the last minute. I already have a blue & white car and a yellow car in the garage, just wanted a color I didnt already have.

    Picture doesn't show well enough,  but it looks like you filled in the seams??  Not too long ago I sold a truck to Galpin Ford to re make the Back Up Pickup and the builder turned me on to a trick using metal glue.  It worked perfectly. If you did yours how did you do it as it normally cracks there.  The color looks GREAT in my books.  Stands out and that is just fine.....

    Unfortunately the last owner used bondo to fill the seams. Everything held up good for about 5 years except for where the seam stops at the cab door opening, had about a 6 '' crack on both sides. When I got sideswiped nothing else cracked or got worse. I'll just have to wait and see how long it lasts this time.
