The runs on the back of my cab looks like a shower door glass after a good shower, the rest of the truck is equally bad, so I know there is a load of prep ahead.
Your progress, despite a few setbacks, has been great, no doubt aided by your actual aspirations for doing the truck justice.
Well done so far mate.

Thank You Rian. I am still agitated by the runs on the back and haven't been out to see how it all looks completely dry. Going to drop by today after work and see how the bad the runs are. I saw some tips online of using a razor blade to shave down runs. Might save me some time sanding.

be nice to this one, its too pretty to blowup.

No problem there Clem. All those motors where my teenage years. I still have a heavy foot but this motor is bone stock so no use in pushing it hard. Just a cruiser. Before my father in law died and we talked about the truck he made me promise I would not put a hot rod engine in it. So keeping my promise. Plus the fact that the older I get the more I just want the engine to run good, sound good, and be dependable. Those hot rod motors with high lift cams always need some attention of some sort.
