Mark, I'll say it again, you guys are an inspiration.

I just sent this link to my buddy who is taking the 48 from me. He wants to do the paint and I've told him that if he follows your steps he can do it.

Kees, thanks but Dad has done a ton of work with the sanding and some polish I have been finish polish on most items and we will work together on assembly.

8man Thanks again we do our best with what we have to work with.

Mark

Just now saw the pics Mark posted on the finished buffing. Between the two of us we got the front end put back in place. Still have a lot of lining up stuff, then in can be tightened down. Here's a couple pics I took a little while ago...Jim

Thanks Ray, it feels good to see in going back together. Will still be awhile, to get things aligned, electrical hook up, etc.. Then back to sanding. That hood is a big piece...Jim

**mongocanfly** · 10-26-2018, 08:39 PM

Man thats looking good...i really like the shot down the side of the truck with the shiny wheel peeking out under the fender in post 1581 And 1586 and 1603

**joedoh** · 10-26-2018, 08:48 PM

wow what a beatiful job you guys did fixing it

**8man** · 10-26-2018, 10:00 PM

Thank you both for sharing that with us.

Thanks guys, we both appreciate the compliments, and hope it helps someone second guessing themselves, that it can be done in your own shop...Jim

Looks real nice Jim, especially the chrome grille. Did you add it during the repair? I see in your avatar that it was previously painted body color.

Thanks Mark, and yes I added the chrome grill, it didn't fit worth a crap, but Mark and I reworked it. It did change the appearance a great deal, I'm happy with it...Jim

Mark

Ofcourse I know this

What I meant is that you two are working so good together, as father/son, Old Jim has to be very with you as son, I know he is!!
Sorry if it came out wrong....

Awesome work, as I said before....RESPECT!

reaper71 · 10-29-2018, 07:54 AM

Thanks Kees, we both appreciate that

**oldman3** · 10-30-2018, 07:31 PM

Thanks joe, I'm glad I changed, looks like a different truck...Jim

Indian113 · 10-31-2018, 06:57 AM

I liked the way your painted grill blended in But that Chrome one really Pops out at you.

Thanks Ray, it's kind of like the old double edge knife, which is the best side...Jim

**oldman3** · 10-31-2018, 11:41 PM

Back in the shop this morning, I installed the bumper and splash apron, then the hood latch panel. Don't have headlight bezels installed, will wait till we align the lights. Mark and I then went to the nursing home to be with Aggie when they give out candy for trick or treaters. Great Grandma got to hold here new great granddaughter (3 weeks old). Was a great night. Oh here's a few pics...Jim

**mongocanfly** · 10-31-2018, 11:46 PM

I'll echo it...thumbs up on the chrome grill....

**Advanced Design** · 11-01-2018, 07:36 AM
