Re: project (sweet pea)

Looking great Tony... Sweat Pea is coming right along.

You're going to love the color once it's on the whole truck. You can't believe how many people see my truck and go on and on about the color. It's definitely a hit with everybody I talk to... Keep it up.

Re: project (sweet pea)

Started out this A.M with the intention of getting my cab in primer.....Things were going pretty good....Its body work.....not really the exciting job .Anyways got the door to cab lines pretty much the way i wanted them. Feels and looks great....While i was getting the roof prepped for primer i noticed a small bubble in my seam sealer on the drivers side....so i figured i would take a closer look..Was not happy with what i saw.....There was some rust hiding .....None the less that ruined the whole .....(i have it in primer today ) theme i had planned...At any rate. i got all of the rust cut out......Noticed that the rusted piece has some bends and angles to it....So i had to make a piece....Small dolly,and the edge of my bench i had a piece made fairly quick.....Anyways you guys wanted pictures here are a few..........

Re: project (sweet pea)

your body work is turning out great. You would have to pay huge money for someone else to do that stuff for you, great job.

Awesome work! Truck looks fantastic. You've given me inspiration to make a couple mods to mine now that I've seen them done.

Ready for a weekend in NJ?
