Well, I finally got my cab back on the frame. The inside of the cab is painted. The bodywork is done on the cab and doors. I haven't started on the bed yet so it will be a while before the final exterior paint goes on. I already fit and "body worked" the door gaps and removed the doors. I've done paint and body work for 40 years but this is my first and prob last body off total restoration job. My question is that I'm not sure how to go about painting the jambs, firewall, etc: If I paint the jambs and inside doors and front of the cab (firewall), then after the doors are back on I get the back taping procedure but the firewall blends up to the cowl and A Pillars. I plan on using epoxy sealer so if it's back taped to prevent the paint line won't the sealer show at the back taped lines? I plan on doing the final paint with doors and fender on so I can "walk" the sides. How do you guys achieve this without painting apart and re-assembling? I'll attach some pics soon. Thanks.
