For a home setup, the most important thing (other than your lungs) is the compressor - needs to be min 20 cfm. After that you need a cabinet siphon feed (I use glass beads/used silica mixture) for...

Re: Worth saving?
You also could also buy the back and 2 side wings (repro) and make that into a open cab pickup. The beds and rear fenders etc are relatively easy to find. Or build a nice pickup length wood flat bed...

Re: Hub Caps
Also you can use a little silicone on the inside edge, in the areas you don't bend the tabs over and they will be less prone to rattling. I have heard of one person that used a small "O" ring around...
