No winch, We are going to add a big block injected with over drive :metal: Then add all the extras like A/C, CC, power this and a bit of that! Yea the roof does not look to good in the pic's but once finished it will require alot less filler. We have talked about trying to push the low areas up or if need be we will add filler strips of metal in the low areas to decrease the filler needed or the big option would be to graft the ribbed roof of his donner 91 Sub. I will wait and see what the blasting shows us and decide from their. EXTD56 keeps saying it is just a daily driver but I have seen his colection of cars and he does not do anything half a$$. It should be a real nice driver when we get done.

I took the truck to get soda blasted, it took about 5 hours to get it done. The old bondo did not want to come off but it did. It looks like the truck was a experiment in the making, it does need cab corners also.

What do they charge for the soda blasting?

Is that what they call a diamond in the rough?

He charges 150.00 per hour, comparable to what they are charging for sandblasting. It took more time to get it done as the old bondo did not want to leave and I had him also do the interior and he also hit the frame a little bit.

Well the fire wall looks good! As far as the rest, it looks like I have alot of work ahead of me.. It is going to be so nice to start with fresh metal.

Looks promising still... I would just say do a better job putting it together than the guys who did it in the first place!

Wow, what a project!
