Unfortunatly, the car must stay mobile for the time being, another truck has to be stripped down for parts for another project, once it is done i will rip it down completely, but it has come a long way, notice the different colours in the paint??? i have got my work cut out ofr me on this one!!

your work looks familiar. Man, after a while, i could stand grinding anymore and it looks like you got just as lazy as i did. check this out:

no, not getting lazy, just working out the next steps, as far as the welds in the floor being ground down, i am not done with that just yet, they will be flat, just laid paint to prevent rust on the welds until i get a new grinder(burnt mine out!). I spent the weekend de-greasing the entire body, i don't need that in the way!!, Ill keep the updates coming as things change!
