Started grinding the frame to try and clean it up but found a local guy that did mobile blasting so I had him come clean the subframe.

Re: Backyard built 55

After I started assembly on the subframe it was time to move to the body. I know I know everyone hates fake patina well I like it I wasnt in love with how it looked before but the more I spray and sand the more I'm liking the look, which is good considering it's mine.

Re: Backyard built 55

I started preparing myself to cut the from half of my original frame off. Not gonna lie I read every forum and watch tons of videos before I started ots a little intimidating but wasn't really hard. Fighting the rusted bolts and original rivets was the hardest part. My wheels also came in, who's not gonna throw one up under there just to see how it looks.

Re: Backyard built 55

It's been raining and raining and raining with the ground so soft I didn't want to mess with the frame so I jumped in the cab. It left alot to be desired haha. Worked in sections doing one part at a time until I got everything sanded primed and painted. I lost most of my interior progress pictures do to breaking my phone.
