Got the old girl back tonight from the frame shop. Looks really good. Also got the new springs and the new rear end installed sits a little high in the rear but it should settle over time.

Got all the holes filled from the old body molding. One more spot to fix from the accident then its off to the paint booth! Can't wait, getting closer.

Haha thanks, he thinks he's a big help

I think he's pissed about the new springs, he sure doesn't look too happy about jumping down!

Well I've been sanding all weekend and got the bed fenders and tail gait almost done. Just need to spray the break through spots with a light coat of primer then one mor time over the entire thing with 600 wet paper then on to the cab!

[93oneton]

Got the final wet sanding done on the box, fenders, and tail gate. It has a few small spots that need a little more attention. But nothin major.






From the rear it looks like its still a little bent, but I'm not sure cause the ground wasn't really level.



Also got the dent under the cab fixed, looks way better now

Still have to cut in the cab joint in the spot I fixed today, but I'll knock that out tomorrow.

Did a little more on the dodge tonight. There was a dent on the roof above the cargo light, it has been there since I bought it. Thought I'd try and smooth it out.

[93oneton]

Well got the oil girl in the paint shop tonight. Pulled the box, door handles, rear window, windshield. Didn't really plan on pulling it down that far . But the better the prep the better the finish product.

[93oneton]

Got the truck all taped up and ready primer tomorrow

when you start shooting color make sure you lay some lights on the floor, I hate getting done and backing it out in the sun and
seeing thin spots down low.

Are you going back white?
