The body is staying as it is, I have one shiny one, that's enough. Like you said, it's great not having to worry about paint or being dirty, I love flying around with it not worrying about it. I...

Thanks Roger, it's really fun to drive everyday and I sure do get a lot of thumbs up! A few minutes ago I got in Rita to move it into the shop to get it ready for summer. I gotta say, Dodge was right...

I thought I'd give you an update on Rusty. I thought there was not chance of getting it back on the road this summer, but I started dinking with it and it pretty much fell together. I got the grill...

Yes, the one is the vent window frame and the other is the window glass and gasket.

Yes, they go in from the inside, not the outside, it's backwards from what I'm used to.

Well I'm back on the Rusty for a bit. I got it back in the shop after nature did some repainting on it while it set outside this summer, its matching pretty well. I've started getting some windows...

Rusty got put in the dreaded to be continued spot today, I was hoping to drive it this summer but it's not going to happen. It moves under it's own power but the list is too long to finish. I was...

I love watching your van/pickup take shape, that is the most interesting project I've seen in a long time! Your devotions at the end do more good than you know :)

It's funny you say that, I was thinking the same thing :LOL: A few years ago I just missed a 53 IH that got turned into lawn art, not sure if you remember when I posted about that. They seem to find...

Yep, that's him. Lol. No, I sent you a link on messenger. I guess it's Savin Junk

Pat has a YouTube channel " Saving Junk " that is pretty fun to watch.

Rita is waiting patiently on Rusty while brain surgery is getting performed :LOL:. I lengthened the ECM wiring so I could put it inside the cab. 52 wires to lengthen and I decided it would be best to...

I feel the same about Rita. I am finally happy with the steering and suspension but it should not take 5 years and 20K miles to figure it out.

Ken, those are good looking rims. I do have a set of different rims bought for it already. I would like to get them on, these rims are disgusting.

The Dodge got a heartbeat today. The last tag on the license plate is 1962.

Yes, the ugly rims are definitely going to go ha ha. I have a set of black aluminum modulars that are going to go on. Finding 4.5x6 bolt pattern wheels is very difficult and I scored a set off of...

Got quite a bit done this week. The battery is relocated to inside the box and hopefully the cab was put on for the last time. I have the box and running boards mocked up, making sure everything's...

I took 23 inches out of the frame and got that put back together. I also put the fuel tank back in and ran new fuel lines, and put the rear wiring back in. The cab is sitting there rusting...

This is a new way to build one for me, I'm definitely learning some things. If I would do two the same way it wouldn't be any fun��

I've been trying to get it going by summer but I don't think I'll quite make it.

and a few more

some more pics

I figured I owed you guys an update, it's been awhile. Disclaimer #1 this is not a perfect build, rust repair involves rivets and sheet metal with a generous application of seam sealer. If you can't...

This is where I'm at as of today. I went a bit of a different route on the firewall/ floor. I did not like how the Dakota floor pan ended up lower compared to the cab, and I did not like how the...

I didn't get a lot done on the Dodge this week, but I did put in an overhead pivoting hoist, I think I'm...
