70 Long bed Build thread

[Mr Handy]

OK I thought I would just start a thread for my truck...
70 long bed, 283, got more paint on it then anything I have seen, but not to much rust.

The plan is to do a little work to the engine, new heads and Dizzy. Do the body work and get her painted... at some point do a little drop to get her sitting level... and make it a little easier for the wife to get in and out... yea that's a good excuse... tidy up the interior and have the bench redone...

Color Scheme will be Medium Green, with white roof and white below the trim... interior will be painted green, with white interior parts... just simple, with a little deviation from stock... I want to run 67/68 trim as well...

Yesterday came the first parts order... Skip White Distributor, Plug wires, gasket set, Head bolts, and a bunch of patch panels from Classic Parts... inner and outer lower door both sides, front fender rear both sides, and inner roof... already have the rockers and cab corner... passenger corner has already been done...

Now I'm a little scared at how much this is gunna cost... but I'm seriously excited to get my hands dirty and learn... I'll post up some pics of the truck when I get a chance... This is my first step into metal and rust beyond cleaning up old tools, I'm a wood guy but I think I have a good teacher.
