Thanks Motown 454, Hope to get started on the cab this week. So far Ive just been blasting front end parts and doing the metal work. Here are a few more pictures.



I didnt think I was ever going to get all the rusted bolts off this thing.




Inner fenders cleaned up and smoothed.

[Motown 454]

Parts look good hardly any rust at all .That must have made your day ,I know it would have done it for me . Keep the pictures coming .

Yea over all the parts look great. The bottom of the front fenders need some work but other than that I think they look pretty good. I got the fenders body worked and got them in primer today. Im going to try and get the other parts up to this point then start mocking up everthing on the frame.

If I dont do that I may airbrush it on. I didnt get much done being friday and having people in the shop all day, but I did get the hinges blasted and get them in some DP the K36. So here are some pictures for the week end.

[r.a.w.rods]

Well Got the cab in for the truck. Floors are going to need some Work but other then that Its just pulling the dents out and getting it cleaned up. I hope to have the Frame back at the shop next week to get the cab sat down on it to start mocking everthing up.





I had a nice set of stock running boards for the truck. (they dont make the small ones)

What he said!

[r.a.w.rods]

Well not much got done today. Had some bad storms and the power was out most of the work day. I did get most of the dents out of the dash and got it sanded down, so maybe tomorrow I can get some DP on and get to the outside some more.
