It was 104 deg.! This guy earned his paycheck!

With the Floorplan design laid out and most of the structural welding done it was time to sandblast the frame and get busy on the reassembly!

Moved the door rearward to accomodate floorplan
One major design change that I wanted to accomplish was eliminating the back window and mounting the spare "continental" style. The custom hub cap has not been polished yet.
Things should start comming together now. I have all new brake parts and backing plates are built up and ready to go in. All new exhaust. Gastank is reconditioned. Chassis will be finished and floor back in this year. Then, on to the Windows, Electrical, Insulation, exterior finishwork. Paint will be last. I intend on Dove Grey as the major body color with traditional secondary stripeing of a maroon. I will probably offend the travco purists. But the ugly "hood" will be gone. Not exactly sure what I am going to do yet but I am leaning toward a "Retro Redneck Truckdriver" look.
If you would likke to see something in particual about this project just ask, I will try to add it as I go.
