Looking good man . I had my hood blasted, no issues. The blaster used glass media on everything, he said it helps keep heat down and works well. That door skin looks like it came out well. Fall and winter assembly eh? My wife will kill me if I don't have my truck up and running before winter

Thanks. I'm nervous about having it blasted - I've heard of guys having their hoods ruined and I'm committed now that I spent the money on the tool so I'll roll with it. I will use the tool on other projects, so I'm okay with it. We spent months wiring and assembling my dad's 64. So far, everything on my truck has came out quicker and better, but I've still got a lot of parts to buy and the rate I'm going, my money is keeping up with my progress. If I could work on it every day, I would be broke in no time haha.

I haven't had a lot of time to work on the truck in the last month between vacation and having family in town, but I am happy to announce that metalwork on the cab is done. Inner rockers, outer rockers, front and rear pillars, and cab corners are done and the cab is at the sandblaster. The only metalwork left on the truck should be a little bit of rust on a fender bottom and pulling out a couple dents.

I'm going as fast as I can in hopes of getting most, if not all, of the body (minus the bed) painted before it gets too cold.
