Finally! Almost done!

Finally, after a long while, I am nearly finished. The bed is looking very nice as you can see, and the paint mixup worked well to my advantage. As soon as I get it all put back together this coming week, I'll post plenty of pictures!

Yeah there's dents here and there. I really dont mind right now simply because it's going to be my daily driver and why worry about every one when its bound to happen. And its the ford white, I took the picture at night with a worklamp.

Finally!!!

Spent all day putting her back together and this is what came out of it!
(phone camera doesn't do justice at all!)
The wheels show the original color before I started.

The hood goes on tomorrow, a windshield next week, and wheels when I can afford the part!
