Soooo disappointing! Started paint removal on the bed bottom and discovered pitting, holes and Bondo covering rust damage. Thought I was done with metal work on the bed......

Ordered and received new real steel bed floor panels!

Body on the way to the paint shop!!

Update! Frame painted, engine block and exhaust manifolds touched up. Starting steering wheel restore and right rear spring perch replacement. Original was pretty rough, another detour in the rabbit hole while the body is off!

Keep up the great work! It’s really coming along. Any updates on body paint...or any sneak peeks?

No sneak peeks at the body work paint. Guy says should be in primer for panel test fit on frame around end of the month. Hoping to have it home for thanksgiving to begin reassembly
