Re: Slow go
IMO, a good used door is the best first option. Repro sheetmetal will usually require a lot of work to make them fit right, especially the doors. I only buy used, but it is easy to find rust free metal around here (So Cal) for cheap.

Re: Slow go
honestly kid, i'm proud of ya. for a young guy or girl to want to do things themselves says alot about the kind of passion you have for these trucks.
when i was young i wanted everything "right now" and didn't have patience. The best advice i can give you is "slowly but surely" . This may not turn out to be a show stopper, but it is damm good experience. A young guy turning wrenches and asking for advice would be welcome in any hot rod/classic truck crowd. i'll be watching. beeb |

Re: Slow go
I like the way the drip rails look. What did you do to get them to look like that?

Wet sand it and spray another coat of primer and you will be fine. Nice work so far.
