Dave - you are abosolutely right it makes finding the dings easier!
Ken I does look better all grey. It hides the majority of dings to where I could drive it without being embarrased!
Rain is on it's way. What a wierd summer for weather here!

Here's a few shots, need a wide angle lens ! You can see a few former repairs and a bulge or two but they are hidden under the fenders!

Worked yesterday stripping paint off the truck hood. Managed to reuse the wood bed platfrom I maid, by simply adding a layer of plywood over the open structure to make a nice table for the truck hood and tailgate to work on. Plan to stripp them to metal this week and do some small weld repairs before epoxy primering them too! At least the hood has been easy going getting the old paint off! For the hour I had on THursday, I got about a third of it sanded to bare metal on the top side. One of the under framing supports is loose and will need a spot weld to take the wobble out of the metal with it loose now. Other than that went to golden state nats today and had a good time. Met Pat and Walt there(stucool and volksrod) both nice fellows with very nice rods.

Here's a shot, not very exciting, but shows that a picture is indeed worth a thousand words!

I've seen a few F1 trucks since starting this project, but wow I mean WoW this guy did some nice work!
