Won't be as long as it has been...

got a few more loose ends to tie up and I'll be back on the road. Truck isn't and was never intended to be a show truck,just a decent looking and dependable daily driver.
My main goal was to stop the rust and make it all one color(or two as it turned out) Here's what it looked like last fall before I tore it down





And today:

Re: Won't be as long as it has been...

Thans to all for the encouragement

Thanks.
If I had known it was gonna turn out as good as it did,I would have taken more pains with some of the body work. There are a few dents here and there I didn't even fool with,and some waves in the doors where they had been fixed a long time ago,but I really didn't expect much when I painted 90% of the truck in this "paint booth"
