Re: 198Plus build
Yes and yes on the paint and undercoating. Per the factory assembly manual, undercoating was applied up to 21" from the outside body lines toward the centerline and the backside of the sheet metal was painted the body color.

Re: 198Plus build
As most of you have probably guessed already, I'm no longer doing any work on this restoration. Don't worry there is no bad blood. The cost was getting to be more than he wanted to spend. Ronnie is shopping around for cheaper rates. We still talk from time to time. I asked him if there was anything I could do to improve the way I did things. He seems to be happy with the way I treated him. He was screwed by 2 others shops, I just wanted to restore the trust.
Good luck Ronnie on your remainder of your build.

Re: 198Plus build
Alan's absolutely right, he done me a great job !!!!!!!!!!!! Like he said it all boiled down to cost, not that he charged to much his rates where very reasonable at 40 an hour especially for someone of his knowledge and workmanship as y'all all know. I had to slow down on project because of money.Alan kept me updated every day with pics and documented the hours he worked every day on a spreadsheet to my e-mail.
My opinion of Alan......he's a (Class act) ![]() Quote:

Re: 198Plus build
IMO, if Alan was only charging you $40/hour. Put the truck on hold till you can pay him to finish. I would be very suspect of anyone charging less then that and still providing the quality work. Unless you find some guy that just doesn't need the money and is doing it for fun.
