It does look pretty haunchy!!

Been using Eastwood rust encapsulator and honestly the stuff is pretty amazing. Adheres over rusted metal better than bare. I've been using a brush to paint it on and it covers in one coat and dries fast. Does not scratch easily at all. I use a wire brush and 5" cup wire wheel to get the scaley crap off first though. I'd highly recommend it to everyone in the rust belt ;D

I'm not so much into it. I'm more of a fan of the Macho trucks though, it's my "era". ;)

Warlocks were made the same years machos were :D this stuff is off a 77.

I personally like the stepside better. For now. I'm saving all the bodywork anyway.

Oh yeah, what was I thinking? :oops: :lol: Maybe it's just the combo of the 2. I never minded the Warlock trucks, or the Lil Red Express either. 8)

Plan is to swap doors hood and fenders to warlock goods. Paint the remaining bit of tan cab to black. So hopefully it doesn't look like some warlock macho inbreed :lol:

Made a bit of progress despite having the flu. Got the bed squared up ( hasn't been square in 10+ years) and tailgate working. Going to add another flange on the top side of the pivots next. I even used stainless hardware :P

Fenders on and shined up with Flood penetrol ;D. Stuff is like clear coat. But wipes on and sticks to rust.
