well pretty much done with getting her on the road but wheels and tires will probably work on a body panel at a time and primer it with sealing primer then paint and a motor rebuild when ever i blow it up but all to come when i have the cash

[KroAutomotiveInc]

heres some work i did on the bed today didnt get it perfect by any means just passable till i can spend the time to do so. reason for all the hammer marks is from there being 2-3 inch of bondo over the hole bed side and i beat it out with a ball peen hammer worked to clean it up a bit

[KroAutomotiveInc]

might be hard to tell not sure























the cut out is do to rust

[KroAutomotiveInc]

[KroAutomotiveInc]

no tire rubbing on front can go through dips and bumps much harder then i though aswell very smooth ride over all!

[KroAutomotiveInc]

[KroAutomotiveInc]

take off is decent about anything beats me tho lol but can get up to 60 in a hurry the real power shows pulling hills the I6 just eats it up and never slows down

thanks man i know how you feel i been dreaming pulling my hair out and beating my head agents the wall all at the same time waiting to drive down the road lol just keep on workin!!

[McMurphy]

Thanks man, but I know for a fact that mine has not moved under its own power for like 10 years.... it is going to be a heck of a rush on that first day when I crank it up and put it in gear!

Congrats on yours!
You talk about the kids dusting you at the lights because they have more get up and go than you do....
On the other hand, one little fender bender is going to cost them an asston of money, and would only scratch your paint.... maybe.... LOL

I have always wondered why you did not do some orange trim around your turn signal housings?
Those things have so much cool detail in them to be lost in mono color.
