My Build - "Orange Bliss"

[MoreWorkToDo]

Alright, I figured I better start my build thread so I can keep track of my progress. Right now, I don't see the end in sight. I intend on this thread being my "upper."

I inherited this when my dad passed. I probably should have started with a better base, but I didn't want to give up the memories I had of this pickup.

I drove it for a few years in college then parked it sat for 10 years. My build (technically tear down) journey began May of 2013, and after a year or so I was quickly overwhelmed with grad school, 2 kids, and full time employment. It sat for a while until I graduated.

In October 2015, the real effort began...
