Hector filled and gel coated the cap after filling the gutter of the rain rail with floatable seam sealer. Here, Anthony fills in some scratches before sanding some more and then priming before it gets painted tomorrow.
I wish that they had saved the rivet heads that hold the piece of metal that sits along the top edge of the windshield frame. They were sanded off and filled in around so they are no longer visible. All the rivets, spot welds and screws that show on this make up a part of this particular vehicle's charm. But, I didn't tell them to save them and they are used to making everything look as good as they can, and that means make everything smooth and shiny.
Next are all the parts like the spare tire rack, rear heater, seat backs, jump seats, side-view mirror arms, console, ash tray, glove box door, hood and windshield latches, and the rear bumperettes. These parts, along with the front bumper, which I received already painted the correct color from Toyota, are painted a greenish pewter color.
I placed the hard top side panels loosely where they go just to get them out of the way and to keep them from being scratched, but it's nice to see the truck appear a bit more assembled.
