It's going to look better than before!!!!!

**oldman3** · 07-27-2018, 11:33 PM

Thanks Bob, I hope so...Jim

**8man** · 07-28-2018, 08:29 AM

Jim, is that a one piece hood or did you do something to the original two piece?

I like the solid look and have been thinking about what to do. Thanks.

It was a stock 2 piece hood, that I welded together, you just need to take time welding and move around, to keep from warping the metal...Jim

Hi Jim,

I love your truck! I had binge-read the whole build some time back and filed it away in my "completed builds" folder. Imagine my shock at tuning in and finding it with a fender in primer a few days back. Anyway, I binged it again and got caught up.

I loved seeing you post where you were able to take your wife out for a ride, that is so awesome.

Keep up the great work sir!

- Richard

Richard, thank you so much for taking the time to look at my "never ending story". I appreciate the kindness about the wife, hope to get her out again soon...Jim

**oldman3** · 07-31-2018, 08:20 PM

A little update on work. On Friday, Mark removed all the old plastic. Then on Saturday the two of us vaccumed the light fixtures, rail, etc., to removing as much dirt as we could. We installed new plastic on the south and west walls. (didn't take pics till Sunday).

**oldman3** · 07-31-2018, 08:25 PM

On Sunday I scrubbed the floor and moped to clean up as best I could. Today Mark and I finished installing new plastic on the south wall. Area now ready for final paint.

Ok lets Quit Goofing Around and get to Painting! LOL

**8man** · 08-01-2018, 10:06 AM

I wish I could paint, but watching you makes me wonder about my sanity, wanting to paint! You do make it look worthwhile though. Hmmm....

Scott2 · 08-01-2018, 10:24 AM

Looks great! Cant wait to see it all back together and on the road again.

reaper71 · 08-04-2018, 08:37 AM

8Man.....Painting is only half of it, Its more of the prep work that is important. Everything bad under the paint shows through.
Dad (Oldman3) showed me how to paint many years ago, get yourself a gun and practice.
Nothing to it but to do it!

Mark

Indian113 · 08-04-2018, 06:27 PM

You Two make a Pretty Darn Good Pair! If you picked up your Dad's Eye on Detail your Shop will make you Great Living. Ray

reaper71 · 08-05-2018, 06:18 PM

Thank you Ray!
I think I've done pretty good considering the small town we're in won't get rich by any means, but do enjoy what I do.

Mark

**8man** · 08-06-2018, 11:13 AM

Reaper, I may have to try. I used to do the prep work for my dad. I am all too familiar with how much work goes in to the prep. He just never let me in the garage when he was painting. And in a typical fatherly way it was always, "you can't do it right." So now it's a bit of a phobia.

Ya'll do nice work. Looking forward to seeing it go back together.
