I cleaned, painted and mounted the hood hinges and springs. I replaced the hood latch spring and put the underside up the hood in primer this evening.
I received an order today that will give me lots to do
-parts to rebuild the tail lights -bed wood and side slats -electric wiper motor -parking lights and housings -battery tray cover -rear bumper apron -misc nuts and bolts
My wife gave me the “get it done no mater the cost” statement so I’m making hay while the suns shining!
I plan to get the front end put back together than move to the bed. The bed floor needs to be raised 2” so have lots of fab work ahead to get that completed. Then more “patina” paint work to make it match the truck. Can’t wait to see it as a whole truck which hopefully will be in the next couple weeks. I added a picture I took of a truck that will be similar to the look and ride height I’m going for, it’s helped keep me motivated.
That’s should catch up the tread and make it easier to post the progress. Thank you all that have watched the build, helped with it and the kind words. Can’t wait to get it done and I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel!!!
