Great job, can't wait to see the progress!
Thanks a lot! I just went back to the beginning, almost 5 years have gone by. There is very little of that initial truck left here. Plans change and my skills have expanded since back then. I learned a lot on my C-10 build and that experience is making this build much easier. Basically jumping off the ledge into the bodywork got me over the hump to try just about anything.

Just got a delivery from UPS for my beginning of paint supplies. Can't wait to spray some on and see how it looks. Also just took a hard look at the passenger side rocker and decided I should have just bought that part new yesterday while I was at Horkeys. It's not that bad, but it's just easier to swap out the $30 part than spend extra time patching the rust areas in what I have. Oh well, not like they are hard to get.
