Thanks Truxx!

Sam, I will be going to the dark side. Right now, I want to sand down the dents and dings, fix up some break lines in the rear, and get her on the road in with a flat black paint. She will be a rat for a while. This way I can COMPLETELY plan out my build. And save money! Ha, kinda need that. Pics will be coming soon.

Welcome to the FTE! Judging on my experience with being around the Boston area in the Fall/Winter months you will have plenty of time to plan your build. Most folks here have done some very nice work on their trucks and are fairly modest about it...you may have to dig a little to find the "pearls" but they are there for the finding. Ideas/designs are freely shared and most will unabashedly copy them, take what you find useful and leave what you find suits your tastes. Pictures of your work is always appreciated. Good luck and thanks for your service!
