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 !!!!!

Looking good. I wish I had the knowledge/opportunity to do that back when I was in school.
Oh, and nice collection of road signs. |

Re: my 68 shortbed build
Looking great, you've made a lot of progress in a short amount of time. I live in Shoreline also--grew up in Lake Forest Park, and went to Shorecrest High. I had a great time in auto shop, but didn't learn half the skills that you have!
