Same here (following your build), and thanks. I beg to differ on mine getting done soon. My money tree died.

At least we're in the same boat then. My money tree has been dead since the end of 07'. Tough times but things look like they're getting better out here in Vegas anyway. And besides, block sanding doesn't cost too much so I've been making progress without spending a lot. You may have noticed my truck is still on jack stands. That's because I can't afford to get it rolling yet. I'm hoping by the end of summer. We'll see.

Ive been on the same misssion.....sanding. My whole driveway is just about grey now. Im finding, or remembering, that the bedsides have a very tricky contour in the transitions from the fender down. Your progress is looking good....you must be downing a bunch of ibuprofen too. I dont know why someone would do this for a job.

Don't let that filler get on your lawn, it will kill it. It gets everywhere whether you like it or not I guess. I only get a few hours a week on the truck now so I turn into a sanding maniac. There's just a dust cloud constantly blowing out of my garage when I'm in there. I'm getting close to priming but still need to strip the rest of the cab and passenger door--not to mention the entire MGA. I need more time and money. Does that sound familiar?

I'm with you on the gravel. I think we have similar landscaping. Everything just blends right in after a while.

I don't even have gravel. Just sand. But with no weeds. I finally have them under control.
