Re: The MONEY PIT
I about have the garage how I want it and figured it's about time for some progress on the truck. Here are a few picture of how the body is now.

Re: The MONEY PIT
Been following a lot of the builds on here and figured it's time to get started on the body.

Re: The MONEY PIT
Thanks McMurphy, I didn't have the blls to use the over to bake them.. So far so good.
Thanks Alan and great progress on your truck.. Made some additional progress on mine. Got most of the bed rails down to bare metal. I plan on doing a bit more sanding and then pull the bed off of the frame to do the body work.

Re: The MONEY PIT
Once I get it off I have a few places that the metal will need to be cut out and new pieces welded in. I then plan on doing another light sanding, spay with epoxy primer, and then do the bondo work. Figure that should take me to next spring...

Re: The MONEY PIT
I've made a little progress on the bed. Got the inside down to bare metal, a patch welded in, and then took it off the truck. I knocked the rust off the bottom, treated it with ON STEP, and then coated it with ZERO RUST.
