Thanks, I've been working on the International mostly so it's slow on the F100. I have welded up the other inner rocker piece and trimmed it to fit, the wheels are prepped and ready to paint, and we are working on getting the bed ready to take to the media blaster today. We hired a new guy to help with bodywork so things should start rolling better now, I'll be doing the cab metalwork and he'll start on the bed once it's blasted. He's done restoration work for years so he's a good fit for us.




The passenger bed side has some cracks in the paint, so we figured it had some old damage repair coming through... It's been hit at some point and packed with bondo. It was a hair over 1/4" in a couple places!








Measured the mask lines and documented the grease pencil marking on the header panel. These will be replicated exactly.
