Dropped it off at my buddy Israel's shop. He's gonna do the Sheetmetal work and repaint the firewall. Once I get it back I will repaint the frame Semi Gloss and install the new suspension.

Dug into the engine..it was pretty dirty. Did find out that its already .040 over so that was cool.. I pulled the main caps and found copper showing.. they're all pretty bad so its gonna need a rebuild. Kind of changes my engine plans...

Nice work, I also have never seen the bedsides shortened like that but it makes sense.
