"Built not Bought"

I am a young at only 17, but I respect a good looking truck, and worked at a semi detailing/polishing shop for a year when I was 16. Bought the truck when I was 15. Waited until winter was over then parked it and started rippin her apart! Got it done a few months later! This was my dad and I's father/son project and I enjoyed every minute of working on her! Well after all the work my dad and I went through it has started to rust a little bit again sadly because of winter, so I will be rust repairing again this summer and hopefully have a different vehicle for next winter!

Anyways enough of my talking, here are the pics of the stages she has gone through! (probably going to take a few posts because I am a pic whore lol)

Current pics!





The day I bought her:

Yes I know looked like a POS, but I looked past the dirt and seen a canvas for something sick!





Cleaned her up to see her real beauty! Haha





Trying to get paint ideas with some masking tape because I was bored...



Then the tear down began! (next post)
