Past 45 days I have stripped the truck of everything and while I know this is posted in the Do It Yourself Gallery I do not paint!! So over the past week I delivered the truck (in about about 1,000 pieces) to a friend's body shop for prep and paint. Truck is going to be painted its original Juniper Green (with all the paint suggestions I ended up having the BASF rep at my buddy's body shop track down a mix that matched the original color so hopefully that turns out)
Not sure what type decides to go frame-off for their first re-build project, but it has been fun so far.
While the truck and panels are getting painted I will be cleaning and painting the engine transmission and some of the drive train and generally cleaning up all of bits and pieces that came out of the truck.
Haven't posted a ton lately, but I have spent many many hours scouring the forums and stealing the answers from past questions. And the engine wouldn't be running without the support of alot of people in this forum.
Attached are a handful of pictures of my kids helping me with the truck and some general project photos. My 8 year old has told me we are getting our Christmas tree in the truck this year so we have a long way to go and a short time to get there!!
