This beast is gonna be soooooo tasty! Keep at it, you're doing great work.
Well it looks the same.... But roof is done 95% needs a wipe down and see if I missed anything. Its a little hard to tell when its dusty. Almost done with the whole pass side now.
Hell yeah! Keep it up man!
Massive progress - stick to it!
Thank you guys
Oh my God. So much sanding. All the little details, rounded parts, cracks etc....
And it looks the same....

Only to the non experienced viewer! Well, maybe in matte...
As I said before, NONE of this truck was this smooth from the factory!!!
Keep up the GREAT work - its gonna be SO worth it.

You missed a spot.
There are many more spots
Still doing a little here and there. Detail sanding is a bitch. Looks. The. Same.
Looks like it's getting close!
Trying to paint the jambs this weekend. Just going to use the leftover epoxy o have. Gray will be better than olive I think.
But my God the jambs are filthy!
That's always the hardest part about any project.... keeping E36 M3 clean haha. With as much work as I've done with my car, I always look like I got into a fight with copier toner

So many rags. So much lacquer thinner.
Did I mention that I used a couple of leaf blowers to get the dust out of the shop so I could paint?

I use a leaf blower too, an electric one. I'm not sure I'd use a 2 stroke as the oil in the exhaust could cause fisheyes if any residue gets missed.

Dude I can imagine. That truck is a monster compared to my tiny ass Mazda 3 haha. I haven't had to do any paint work to it yet, thank the car gods, but I have had to do some stuff under the hood and underneath. Like the one time I accidentally doused myself with oil.... That was fun....... NOT!

I upgraded to a battery one. It's amazing.
Wife helped me blow it out last week. I have an air mover that helps clear the air out of the garage too.
I'm ALMOST done with the "big" sanding. Then just endless detail stuff. But that doesn't make a ton of dust (we have garage cats coming next week....) wife thinks I should just rent a booth to paint. So I might....
I should add, I'm just using some of the leftover epoxy primer on the jambs.
In reply to java230 :
You say that it looks the same, but not really. For me this is the point where it comes together and gels. With all the flatwork done on the main body, the nooks and crannies seemed to tie the whole effort together. Truth is this is where I see the most change not the least. But yeah...sanding is sanding and kinda does suck if you look forwards; kinda have to look back where you have been to appreciate the results of all the time put in.

In reply to NOHOME :
Yeah looking back helps! It's moving forward and that's good.
I think a boot would be nice, but getting it there is a challenge. I don't own A trailer....
I should have done this with the car. Holy hell, so much masking! Masking the weather strip sucks, but it's so brittle and the clips are rusty, and it's NLA.
Progress!!! 
Fantastic!
Is your ceiling done with white plastic stapled up?

It's tyvek, works good and tough!
And BTW, the hammer store detail gun is worth the $30
