Re: coyotedav's hugger restoration started.
Dave,
Glad you kept this one....looking forward to seeing you get this restored, but it doesn't look as if you'll need to do much body work....I will warn you of the "might as wells"...they get you everytime, and prolong the project.....Have FUN!!!

Re: coyotedav's hugger restoration started.
That's one slick truck to start with, I will be one who wants to see the finished product.
Right now I have rocker panel envy as that is one thing my 71 is needing pretty bad. |
