After starting off the interior with the spraying of the ceiling and other areas of the cab where panels wouldn't be covering, I managed to get all the interior panels sprayed down nicely. Little by little, I'll start the assembly, going to the rear area, reinstalling the two panels I initially cut down to fit on the sides where the rear seat area is. These two panels have to go on first in order to put the two upper panels on the sides. Of course, with these panels being sprayed a shade of white, I would have to be extra careful in the handling of the panels so as to not get any dirty prints and marks on the surface. Even though the paint is dry to the touch, it's not fully cured all the way through. The surface is still capable of having marks pressed into the paint, making it hard to clean these marks off and requiring a spray down to cover up those areas. I had to get some extra undercoating and ivory spray paint to finish up the floors all the way to the back, which includes a second coating to fully ensure coverage of the floor sheet metal. I had to fully cover the ceiling and other areas with a second coating of paint so I wouldn't have to try to come back over these areas after I've installed the panels, making for a difficult touch up. Anyway, with everything said and done, we can start the full assembly of the interior, minus the seats.
