Thanks! I'm learning everyday from your 3300 miles later piece, Matt.
I'll be skipping the discussion of the strip-down 'cause she's pretty stripped down by now. I'm 90% complete on repairing the wiring harness, figuring out what's what, and now rewrapping the sucker. Wiring was the most intimidating thing for me as far as vehicles go, so I thought I'd jump right into the fire and start with that. As a result, I feel a lot more comfortable with diagnosing wiring issues with my truck at least.
I've picked up a cabinet sandblaster but am finding that the shop compressor is worked a bit too hard whne I'm blasting and that there needs to be an air/water inline separator because the nozzle is plugging frequently. I'm going to send the major sheetmetal sections, like cab, hood, fenders, etc, to somebody in the area for walnut-shell blasting, and I'm hoping to handle the small stuff myself with the cabinet.
Matt's fine work, among others, has movtivated me to plan the purchase of a small mig welder. There are a few panels in shipment already.
