First of all, I am beyond blown away by the builds that I've seen here. I ran across the forum about a month ago and have been drooling, probably literally at times, at what you all have accomplished. I have a '72 Cheyenne that has lived its entire life in Georgia. At some point during the '80s or very early '90s it got parked (or possibly buried) under a pine tree. The effects of the pine tar and humidity on the body was incredible; by the time I got it, the tin worm had claimed the entire bed, both front fenders, passenger inner fender, core support, cab corners, inner and outer rockers, kick panels and drip rails.

My goal originally and still is to have a cool old truck that I can enjoy and pass down to my kids. There have been several hiatuses to the project as life got in the way but I am now starting to see some light at the end of the tunnel. The rust has now been defeated (temporarily, of course) and I'm in the building stage. I thought this thread might help others like myself realize that even they can accomplish some pretty cool things if they stick with it.

It probably also proves that accountants shouldn't be allowed to own mig welders but that's another thread for another time.

I hope you enjoy - or at least get some laughs. Any and all suggestions are certainly welcome!
