ok worked some on my cab and front fenders this past week... I do not like bodywork! lol but im making progress at least.. still lots to do!.

Body work is like finishing drywall, both are tedious and raise a lot of dust. Looks like your moving in the right direction.

[Truckrat]

Joey, where did you get your new spring clamps? TR

[therealjoeshmoe]

ROUGHCOUNTRY.COM ASK FOR DAVEY THEY WERE CHEAP LIKE $25 I THINK

[oso503]

What did you ever do about the steering column

[therealjoeshmoe]

LOL IM HOPING TO LOSE A LITTLE WEIGHT BEFORE I GET THE TRUCK DONE.. I THINK THAT WOULD BE EASIER THAN MODIFYING MY COLUMN..

[therealjoeshmoe]

going back together, slowly but surely.. im gonna try my best to have it road worthy by slickstock, cause I WILL BE THERE!!
