Yah I know you’re going for patina finish on this truck, but some day the next project you’ll be that much closer with your skills to go to the next level.
Congratulations keep at it.
Thanks, Glen! I'm definitely just jumping and getting some lessons learned. I don't have a body work mentor here so I'm just going at it. It's fun AND stressful, but I WILL get this truck on the road!

The drivers fender eyebrow is essentially non-salvageable unless you were fully equipped with tools and skills to form patches and I'm not. But it will hold headlights now, and I may tinker with it a bit to improve the looks a touch more.
