Looks good! keep marching forward and check items off as you go. Set small victory and give it another chance at being on the road. Again nice job!

Nice. I tend to put as much junk in the garage on wheels as possible as well. With only a 2 car garage it helps...

Good progress. You are organized and methodical. I like seeing the truck be saved. FWIW, I use simple green to deal with crusted chassis parts. Spray undiluted, wait half an hour. Pressure wash. After a few times I am always surprised how clean it gets. Looks like you are almost through that phase of work though.

Very nice work! I've wire wheeled several frames and I always think it would be better to have them blasted. But the guy I used to use for blasting quit doing it years ago and his prices had me spoiled. I was quoted $650 to have a K20 frame blasted last time I checked and that was the cheapest guy. Luckily I have some young boys that like to help now. :lol:

I like your frame dollies. The only thing I might add is a piece of wood or 2 pieces of angle iron from the front one to the back one to help keep them from getting caught on a crack and tipping out from under the frame. Speaking from experience here. :lol:

Keep up the great work. I've got a K20 I need to get started on but I just can't find the time.

I'm surprised that you're allowed to work outside in the housing complex, you must have great neighbors .........
