Took body off the frame.
We are going to cut out and replace that rear sill. PO decided random channel iron was appropriate.

My suggestion...change the fluids, give it a full tune up, and drive it!!
Very nice rig and nice work!!! Not messing around!
I know this may sound like a dumb question but, what did you use to remove the paint? grinder with what kind of pad? It doesn't look like a wire wheel was used but my monitor isn't clear
Good looking 40. I'm at about the same stage you are right now. I'm replacing the drivers floor pan in my 1970 40. I've POR'd the frame and going to try and get the motor back on today.

I guess slow progress is better than no progress.

Ended up keeping the original engine; went with a 4" HFS Lift.
Paint is John Deer Black ... oh and extensive degreasing, sanding, and prep.

Seats are almost done
awesome! its threads like this that make me want to start another one...
No kidding. What in the heck are you gonna do with no rust?
I'd slap lose my mind. I guess you could always hope for an electrical gremlin or two to keep you busy once it's back together.
It looks great by the way. Keep up the good work!
