feels like im going backwards

I was all through with the patching, I had the truck with miner skimcoat stuff to do ,then i asked for paint help and FTE friends educated me, wich i cannot express how much i appreciated ther help. However i am taking there years of experience to heart so after having it together now i am taking it apart again to do it corectly. Ive always driven the truck regardless of how much sheet metal i had or i should say didnt have. No dought i will still be driving it as i paint parts one at a time, the local PD is pretty cool since its a small town. NO complaints here I love working on My truck. Just givin an update while I waite for a gallon ( I mean 0.8 gallon ha ha) of Rage gold to arive so i can smooth out and epoxy my doors and jams, #1 on my list. Well i hope everyone had a pleasnt holiday. (JIMMY)

Sometimes backwards is progress. The most important part is you are doing it right. down the road is where it wil pay big dividends.

Don't feel so bad Jim. I think I've RAN backwards at this point. I bought my '56 with the intent on putting the tranny back in it and tie up a few loose ends and be driving it. Well... turns out, 4 months later, its still siting in my shop with a least a few more weekends of work left to do. If I'm lucky I'll be able to drive it by the time the 1st leaf hits the ground...
