Yeah, I can't drive it while I do it--and--it requires paint and body work.

That is probably as close as it will ever get--but--that still requires paint work.....

The biggest problem I have with any modifications/repairs on this is the whole truck is covered in original paint. No repairs here or there (except the ones I did). The paint could be made to shine if I cared that much, but the best part is the paint is still there. Almost all of the paint on my '93 p/u and '92 Blazer is gone. Not only is this paint still there, it still looks pretty good. I am refusing to put crap paint on this just to have it burn off in 10-15yrs, when this is 40yrs old and still good. This stuff was probably so high solid that it came out of the gun in solid form. Might even have lead in it. I haven't tasted it to find out.
