cleaning the frame and primer and paint. I had to sand the front of the frame down the the metal cause someone in the past sprayed undercoat on the frame and the junk was hard to get off.

well I hope every one enjoys my photos! if you dont sorry.
what you see is what I have done at this time.
engine is back from the machine shop and ready to build.
engine is going to be built in a few days, and will be built by Jody Ridley and myself.
I should have the trans back in a few days.
my goal right now is to get the engine and trans done and in the frame.
and then I can store the frame and do all the body work.

here's a photo of the cab
still looking for a bed
and also have a 2 1/2 cowl hood for the truck

and a photo of Jody at daytona

I have 2 sets of valave covers chrome and aluminum.
but the aluminum set was in the box and it got wet and the vale covers pitted.
I cant get the pitting out. I might try and sandblast them and then clear coat.
what do y'all think will that work?
