Re: Ground up Resto

What Coley said!

Most of us can handle the mechanical stuff, doing body work is a different story.

My best advice it to spend time (a lot of time!) reading many the build threads on this forum, see how other people are doing their builds, also how people approach the rust repairs needed, its easy to get over whelmed and when that happens the project ends up sitting.

If you never welded sheet metal your in for a rude awakening, its a leaned skill to avoid warpage and shrinkage, it can be discouraging to find this out the hard way.

Bag and tag everything!, take pictures of every little detail of how the truck is put together because after 3-10 years ya tend to forget how everything fits together.
