Body dolly made... NO LAUGHING... 27 minutes to build with scrap and some wheels I had laying around.

Will pull the body and get it finished up and painted in the next 2 weeks is the plan.

Bed change coming up.

Motor is set and perfect fit with the FSR radiator with SPAL fan and shroud.

3 degree angle. I'll get the transmission crossmember made in the morning and then the body will be pulled.

3" x 2" x .250" main rail (.188" standard)

This is a fun build to follow. Definitely looking forward to seeing the finished vehicle.

I've probably said exactly that already but it bears repeating....

A little more progress. Started block sanding and pulling doors today.

I'm back and can help get this knocked out.
