Two years ago, it came apart after a couple of years' cruising. At first, I was just going to drop it off at a body shop, but one thing led to another and I decided to do it myself. (I'm glad I did, the plan changes almost day-to-day.) I had never welded or painted a thing in my life, but with a little practice I figured out how to use a mig welder and a spray gun. Today, I'm shooting the surfacer/sealer (that's PPG epoxy primer in the photos), next week the firewall will get color and the cab will go back on the frame. The rest of the sheet metal will get primered, hung and then off to the paint booth for the final bc/cc. (I know a guy that has his own personal paint booth.) With a little luck I'll drive it to the fall Goodguys in Charlotte.
I'm stoked!
