geitting it into bare metal and ready for bodywork

spent the day taking off 6 layers of paint on my 53 Pilothouse. Ran out of 80 grit DA paper so I didn't get to finish it up. Dash is out of a 49 Plymouth. Plenty of other stuff to do until I get more DA paper.....

 

nice, I used 3M strip discks finished off with 80 grit.....cut through my 10 Layers of paint 60 years of other shit with ease....

Your truck looks in exceptional shape!

 

I only found one prior repair and it was picked and filed. Not a drop of mud in her.... yet

 

That's looking good, the metal seems to be in great shape.

 

Better than I got, I got over 50lbs of mud, a little concrete, fiberglass and steel wool....etc

That thing is solid as heck....

 

finished the welding on the floor and filling the gas neck hole today, tomorrow I will fabricate new braces for the rear of the cab to the floor. Then finishing off the body and primer.

 

The cab is really looking good. I am anxioius to see the dash with the guages and stuff installed.
