well here is how the project sits right now oct 27 09

it snowed today, we got the body moved to the side and the frame rolled into the garage just in time, now for the long bitter utah winter, the project should still progress, but with the snow a lot less people are working on their truck that means less are looking for parts and the cash will stop flowing for a bit, so i will have to do with what i have for now.

Thats already some good progress you've made. Sure wish I could do mine right like you and take it all apart and down to bare metal. Mine has to sleep out in the snow for now.

Looking good 68 Monster. I'm starting to do the same thing to my 71. My donor truck even has the same paint scheme as your donor truck LOL.

Sorry to read it man. Something sudden like that is just too much.

Glad you've already got his old truck and fixing it up though. You'll always have good memories there.

I might be interested in one of your hoods. You are in Logan right?? I am in Springville. What condition is the very best hood?

[68monster]

So the only rust on the green one is surface rust? How pitted is the surface rust? Dent's?? Also would yo be wiling to meet me half way if I decide to buy it?

[68monster]
