your stuff looks a lot better than most that we start out with around here. i hope you get it in primer pretty quick. see you did some steel wheels... hmmmm, makes me wonder what you're up to... guess i better get up there and check it out.

Dontcha just love that fresh clean metal feeling? For me, that's where it turns the corner from rusty pos to decent project, ready to move forward. Eagerly await the next installment!

I do, I do, and this glass bead left it so much smoother then the sand that I have done in the past ! I cant wait to start welding in all those LMC Truck patch panels !

What is everyone using to latch their tailgates after you shave the chains ? I want something that is super clean, any ideas ?

The last couple of weeks have been insane, my Grandfather has been in the hospital about non stop he is finally out and doing well, then the Holidays and my wife wanted to go see her Grandparents in Hobbs NM. I guess what I am saying is I haven't touched anything in a few weeks, its about time to cut loose and start putting in some hours, pictures coming soon !
