Funny how natural light reveals all the imperfections you can't see in the basement. Not so easy to see in these pics, but there's a good bit of sanding left to do...


Some of this primer will be sanded away to reveal as much of the old color as possible, until we can afford to get a real paint job done...

According to the calendar, Spring began nearly a month ago. Of course, WE know it's not REALLY Spring until the old truck fires up for the first time in the new year, which just happened a few minutes ago! Sounds good! Figured I'd just go ahead and do it between primer coats on the fenders, which I have outside today. More pics soon...

Got the workbench broken in pretty good! Work on the fenders continues... should have them done before long. Then it will just be a matter of getting the new front bed wall, two rear stake pockets, all the drums and front bearings when finances allow, putting it all back together and takin' 'er down the road! Well, I suppose registering and insuring the truck would be a good idea too...
