Quick update

So far I've been a little busy. Haven't been able to do everything I wanted but have made some progress. The plan is to get the body off the frame in the next 2 weeks or so. I got the front clip off a week ago. I also plan to change up the interior, so I sold my front 69-72 buckets I had. I still have the rear bench if anyone is interested. I've also picked up a few suspension pieces here and there.

Made some progress these past couple of weeks. Was able to get my body off the frame finally after much delay. Also was able to get my rear end completely re-done. Should be able to get the frame off to powder coating within the next week or so. Finally things are coming together.

Got the frame back from the powder coaters today. Happy is in understatement. Definitely feel as though I made the right choice.

It's been awhile since I have posted anything. Here is a quick update of what has been done so far.

Finally got the body over to a solid shop.


As soon as I dropped it off he sent it off to the blasters. This is what he got back.

There are a couple of areas that need some attention but the body is still straight.

Looking good! I've been in the parts collecting portion of my build. I've also started the body work process as well. subscribed
