Re: my 68 shortbed build
Cool, we have a Shoreline down here, over on the peninsula in Mountain View - but there's not a shore.

Re: my 68 shortbed build
got my roof sanded down along with most of the interior.
also started bodywork on my center console and fiberglassed the seam where i welded the 2 together. i will also be pulling the windsheild out this weekend and repairing the little bit of rust around it and getting the rest of the truck ready for primer !!!!!
