Quick two year update to share

*****July 2nd 2014, 0 hours at 4:48pm.*****



*****July 1st 2015, 575 hours at 4:50pm.*****


I can tell you body work SUCKS!
Its great to have it this far along, i don’t have to worry about it rusting anymore. ;-)
Now to finish the brakes, steering and fuel tank install is to complete for the rest of the year.

Can you say "One Happy Camper” July 2nd, 2 years later, 1090.5 hours at 2:36pm.

It's looking really good, too bad it has to come all apart for paint, which is what I'm doing now. Body work is the longest and tidiest part of the build..

I did about 98% of the body work first.

Done a lot of body mods, shaving smoothing on this one.

To finish the brakes, steering, fuel tank install.
Wheels, engine, tranny and then paint. Oh wow that's a lot left.

Wow It doesn't even look like the same truck, beautiful clean work my friend. Just wait till you get the paint done, it's going to look utterly fantastic.
