The farther away you get, the better it looks.

damn, starting to look good ..... well at least from PoCo ;)

I like the rivets as the finish, has that airplane look to it. I see you decided to replace more and more of it, it will be 2012 when you're done.

.....and you should liberate as much as you can, it's in a much better place now and serving a much greater purpose :D
 
Saved the worst for last, the seam at the rear pass floor.
The main crossmember on the drivers side was no longer there so the seat was in real danger of falling through.
I got away with replacing half, it should last for a little while anyways.
Also pretty bad around the area that the wheel tub and lower quarter connect, as well as rust it looks to have been flopped onto the drivers side at one time as s*** was bent up.

At this rate, he'll finish the 60 for Cruiser Days! :D

The 60 is pretty much done. That is one sweet build. I've no doubt it would get best in show at Cruiser Days.

Vince's got all the good toys. All he needs is a 45 and a 55 to round out the Toy 4x4 herd. :hillbilly:
 
I'm good for now, don't need any more projects, can't seem to complete the ones i have.
 
A few more progress pics.
Rust in most areas has been cut out, but other than some left over panel guard, that is it all it is getting for body work.

Added a 40 minute bumper, wont last in it's current form, looks crappy.
Floor in cargo are is still Swiss cheese, may just stay that way till it is on the road.
 
After some time away i managed to put some colour on.
I have some crap and some runs to wet sand out but all in all not to bad for being painted in what amounts to a tent!
