While I was at the salvage, I was geekin out about some of the stuff they had. A 65 Mustang, a 50s Mercedes, and this ultra cool International with aftermarket tool box fenders on the step side bed. Those would be cool on a Delmo style build.

This is the seat pattern I want to copy, just in a different color scheme. I've had this photo in my pc for years and years, I'm not even sure where it came from anymore.

Working on building a bed wall / cubby hole behind the seat. Could be a great place for the battery or subwoofers or who knows what. Also got one back inner fender notched around the tire and putting the tub back in. I had bad luck trying to make the 1.5” wide splice to fill the gap when I moved the tub in. I couldn’t get the bead line correct at all with the tools and skills I have. I looked and found Summit had a rear tub by AMD for $60. Sold! I trimmed it to fit all the way to the bed, cut the excess part off the bed wall, and started fitting the tub. The part I cut off I can use to patch the other side, although I almost want to get another cheap tub from Summit. Much much faster.

Thanks for the kind words!

The dash will be body color, but not the door panels. In an effort to have the door meet the dash and flow together better, I used some 5/16 rod and some sheet metal to rework the lines.
