Amazing, as always
When I put the hood on! Plan to do it a bit at a time. Panels will go to a blaster in the next town I think. I’m cheap though.

Jim, You're going to have to just clear coat everything to show all your custom work.
I’m nowhere near that. Proud of it.

I'd bet that showing everything would help it sell, if that's what you're going to do with the truck.
These things multiply like rabbits.

If you mean the trucks, that's a good problem to have. If you mean the rust spots, I can relate (Michigan).
Getting there. Should have made it a convertible.
Been a long process but all that spray foam is gone and most of the metal it destroyed is replaced. It is time to start blasting.
That truck is actually in really good shape for being the "bad" one.
No crap, WV it would have no floors.
Full commitment. Pull the power train tomorrow. I just found this will be a 6 figure truck since it has the 1 of 1 Hi Output 225! What else could that mean?

I thought HO on a /6 meant HAUL OFF !
All I want is one. Ya big showoff. LOL
And just like that …… she has a hole in her heart.
Trip to California. First trip with the wife in years, met some new MOPAR friends, found a honey pot for my next restoration endeavors (UFOs), got some locks repaired (thanks @cudamark) and rekeyed, got a free 2 barrel for a 225, saw some cool hot rods at Full Scale Hotrods, and got rust free metal for the one truck from Troy there in trade for some A100 parts. Great week of retirement.
Thanks to Troy Martin from Full Scale Hot Rods & Customs in Ventura California my ‘69 Truck will keep a piece of his prized van that was hit to hard to repair alive. These pieces have relit the fire for getting this truck done. They will take care of so many issues that were starting overwhelm me.
