We got some more body work done on the truck. Basically, all that is left is blocking and priming and blocking some more. I also found a 91 burb front clip on Craig's list and we got it installed. I still have to figure out the light wiring? Now I have an extra front clip to sell and hopefully get some of the cash I spent back. Hope to buy paint next week. here are the pics:

front clip ready to disassemble:



86 ready for the new support and grill:


Core support installed and grill mocked up:

Thanks! Things are really coming together now, it has been way more work than back when I was full of pee and vinegar. Seems like body work is better left to the young guys
