Each day, something more.
Today I finished painting the remaining radiator bracket and I ordered two lower brackets and 4 pads from Wes at Classic Heartbeat. Then dad and I removed the hood. Getting those springs off took about 5 pairs of visegrips and some prying! I'm about to soak my bolts and springs in Evaporust and I think I'll do electrolysis on the hinges.
Once those hinges came off...OMGOSH...there is rust where they bolted to the fenders....my truck so needs a frame off.
Furring strip giving extra hood bracing.
Never imagined I'd see my truck naked!
Hood stored for now:
Rust!
