im dreading the day my project gets to the point of bodywork, but i take solace in knowing plenty of people have walked the tedious path of body and paint and that countless more will follow me.

It is like everything. If you have the tools, equipment, and space it isn't that bad. My biggest hassle is the two car garage I'm building this thing in. Having a buddy that owns a body shop makes it possible for me. Just a big pain to haul it all back and forth. If I could do all this work at his shop I would be done with it by now, but I don't want to get in the way of his production. I will be putting off the blocking for awhile and just keep trying to assemble the truck. Need to wait until his shop is a little slower to get back in there.
