Well technically, she does fall in that category of wanting a brand new car. She asked for a Mazda 350 or something like that for Christmas when she was 14 so we got her one. It was a hot wheel and...

Thanks for the comments on it. I like how it turned out and so does she so that is all that counts. The AC will not be a winter project because I had to move my car out of the garage to do the...

It actually belongs to the guy I bought the truck from. He goes to my church so I was able to keep the flatbed at his place and clean it up there. I can also say it went back on the truck a lot...

I wet sanded the cab about three weeks ago and when Tori and I get a chance, we will be putting some wax on it and putting the side rails on again. I still need to put some carpet in it fix the AC...

This next batch of pics are of it in primer and the frame undercoated. By the way, the bodywork, priming and painting was all done in a 1 stall garage. It was a challenge working around everything,...

And then the body work began. Tori did not know what she was getting outside of a truck and she requested black with pink metal flake. With it being black, there were a number of dents that needed...
