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 !!!!!

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!
