Re: finished build....... quick video, you will dig it
Sound's like you were really enjoying yourself on the bed, Just kidding It really shows how much effort that you put into it. Don't see many beds that straight and clean inside and out. I don't think I would have that much dedication to remove 17 pieces of the bed and put it back together.
I'm not going to have to do anywhere near the work on my 2 beds to make 1 and I have been putting it off for a long time now. One of those things that you clear the schedule for because you know it's going to take a lot of time. I only have to do the floor, front panel and prep the rest.
Did you get anymore information on the headers ? I put a set of ceramic heddman's on my highboy and know the starter is going to be a pain when I have to change it.

Re: finished build....... quick video, you will dig it
I'm currently doing a restoration on my Dads 1973 Jeep Gladiator. The guy that's painting it is 66 years old. He's very good but plans to retire soon. I want to restore my 1971 F100 next. It's in really good condition. One repaint and always garaged. New Jersey isn't that far

That's a lot of hours ($$$$) getting the body back together. Almost a pity the owner didn't just import a decent body from the west coast.

Re: finished build....... quick video, you will dig it
he had that option......... my experience is even most the "solid" and/or "rust free" bodies have rust festering in all the usual places. they all become a can of worms to some extent; but yes, some more than othersRanchero50 wrote:That's a lot of hours ($$$$) getting the body back together.

this one is done and will never rust out again, and yes, he paid for it
