thanks! and i am contemplating the one pieces so much! but i dont know if my budget can take that hit, if i do one pieces i have to do with stock wheels for summer, and we all i kno i cant do that

more updates, stripped one bed side and hood, bed isnt as bad as i thought, very salvageable i also included a pic of the scheme im doig in case someone didnt see it

i called him last night, and he said he's out of town, tht he'd call me when he got back so i can go pick it up!

texasfunk · 01-22-2010, 02:36 PM

made a lil more progress today! btw, repop doors suck! they are so flimsy due to not having reinforcement behind th handles like factory, but some heat shrinking helped!

grinded some bondo off and it was covering holes!

joe231 · 01-22-2010, 02:47 PM

WOW!
I have missed a lot!
nice work
