I cant wait to see how the interior turns out. Do you think we should paint the console don?

[Tyler58]

I think we are going to cover it in black like the seats

Nice to see this coming together

Well it has been three years since we last updated this build. Not much has changed. Life got in the way. I started a Restoration/mechanical shop and that has consumed all of my time. I have felt very guilty thatbthis truck has taken the back burner as i had promised several tumes to get it finished. Well enough is enough. No more procrastinating. Lets get this thing painted and done so I can concentrate on Havoc!

Some pictures from today

We have grown a bit older an maybe a bit heavier since we started this truck oh so many moons ago!!!

Looking good! I bet that mud work only took you about 20 minutes. What's your secret to laying areas that wide and long and getting it so even without skimming edges where you just went over?

That's what 25 years of slinging mud doesto a fella. you get ok at it. Maybe I will do a youtube video on how to mud and mix it properly from the beginning to the end of sanding.

Me and the little man went skating today for school, then of course back to work, I came out here tonight after everyone was asleep in the house and finished up the passenger side door, It is now ready for primer. The drivers side will be a bit more work. I have to straighten some metal and maybe do a bit of shrinking on it. But so far it is all going well. The passenger door I spent a total of 7 hours on it doingthe mudwork and preppin.

And some of the finished product. All finished in 180 grit, ready for some primer!!

[Kim57]

Looking real nice.

Right, thats what happens when you have kids. lol

Well it has been way too long. I have been at my business for 4 years. Working my ass off to keep the doors open. So time for me is precious. I don't have much of it anymore. I really have alot of side projects to finish and this is one of them. I managed to get 2 panels ready for some mudwork this week. That is my goal right now. Try to get these done by the end of the week. So let's see how I do.

[Palf70Step]

Glad to see you back at it. Good luck with everything, project and business!

[Dieselwrencher]

Nice to see you back here and nice metal prep work. I spy some cool late gen Hemi project in that chassis in the background!!
