Dave, did you paint it yourself or have someone do the finish body work and paint?
I'm not sure I have the patience for all that sanding etc. and as you can see not only was my truck NOT virgin steel but a poor old hag of a truck, but hey, I only paid $20.00 for it when I bought it.
I'm not counting the fact that she was in a 2 car dirt floor garage with one door and, you guessed it, she was on the no door side sunk 6 inches into the ground with about 100 old drive shafts piled in and around it. It took me 3 days to find it in there and then jack it up and move it to the open door. I actually got the old gal running for a short time on her original flat 4 banger, unique engine sound for sure! Needless to say she's was missing at least 3 inches of sheet metal most of the way around.
I just finished putting cab corners and the bottom of the cab in this weekend, but I have a pucker in the back I need to remove, something was either a little to long or a little to short but with nothing to go by and my lack of experiance with something that bad it was miraculas it turned out as well as it has.
That's going to be nice, like the color. .
