Well we have all been there, just stick it out and you will have a nice truck in the end and one you can be proud of and know its all done right!
Thanks for the encouragement. Been pretty busy with life for the last few days so I don't really have any updates. I did buy a mig welder Monday so I could weld up the spring pocket cracks and any other frame/suspension problems I find, then I will start shaving handles and such. Pretty exited to get started! expect some updates after Easter!
