So we are fitting panels, body work will start once we have gaps and fitment to our satisfaction. To say I am stoked is putting it mildly. I helped my friend and his brother build the picture of the finished one attached. now they are helping with mine.

Getting gaps set and fitment. Will most likely start wiping next week.

Thanks, we are rolling, we are about 80 hours into bodywork. Another 20 or so and we will epoxy all bare metal and shoot high build for first block. Another 40 after that and a second block and we should be ready for color. When we get it ready, we will look at weather forecast and pick a day. Well over 10 years into since I started this process.

Thank you Brother. We have everything at 80 grit except tailgate and top. Not sure when we will do top. due to using lizard skin on the bed and floorboard we are having to go in stages so it can dry. Going to to take us several days to epoxy and spray high build so we. Can start blocking. All major body work done, except top. Cut everything out of the dash except for cluster, light and wiper switch and glove box door. Filled the hole with metal.
