Project 72 - Body work pics from today
 

Well, now that I finished the mechanical and interior, my project 72 is now in the body shop. It will need another week and a half of body work, but at least they have started with it. They are doing things properly, by taking it down to metal. I have bought and left them with cab corner patch panels, as well as front fender patch panels. They are working from the top down, and will take the box off tomorrow to start the cab corner repairs. I am hoping to get it back fully painted in original two tone scheme with the original medium blue and white colors in base/clear - by the end of July. I will be putting on all the trim myself.

Looks good, can't wait to see the progress.

Look's pretty good hope you don;'t have any bodyshop problem's like everybody else..

FrenchBlue72 - to answer your comment, I did have body shop problems, and after a week of sitting at another shop, I had to go in and seize my truck back and take it to the current shop. I am much happier with where it is now. It is really tuff to find a body shop that will do good work, at a reasonable pace.

Looks good i like the long bed nice to not only see shorties Im doing the body work my self as we speak among a million other things going on working on these truck brings joy. Riddla

Just out of curiosity whats the whole job going to cost you?And whats the time frame of completion?

i hear ya guys about the whole body shop problems, we should all pay efabman like 5 bucks a month, he make tons of cash and he could do all our trucks at reasonable prices :):):)

It Is Gettin There, Looks Like It Will Be Sharp ;)
