Looks like I'm having to adjust my schedule, was a little too optimistic I think.

Right now I have the front end sheet metal torn down and most of the rust repaired. Still need to do some sandblasting to prep the parts for paint.

The small parts I'm able to blast myself, however the sand blasting cabinet is one of these El Cheapo's, basically a piece of garbage, but it allows you do to do it yourself, which I like.

The large body panels like the inner fenders, grille, bumper, front suspension etc. will be farmed out. Next week I hope to bring them to a company that will do these for me.

I straightened out the bumper, which was quite a lot of work but it looks straight again.

Most of the parts that need to be zinc plated are prepared.

Starting on the front suspension now. Hope to get it disassembled this week, then that can go to the sandblaster as well. I might start on the body work for the front fenders then.

Hope to get the sandblasted stuff back in two weeks or so, then on to paint and re-assemble.

Decided to focus on the front end. (everything up to the firewall)
The cab and bed will be done later.
