    Strip and Rebuild

    Small update: Everything is going well, discovered some places on the frame that the Chassis Saver did not stick to quite so well and Ohio weather strikes again. Raining like a son of gun so I can't exactly paint it back on until everything dries a bit more. But on the other hand, it is quite...

    Stripping To Frame and Rebuild

    Yeah, pretty much what I'm doing is taking the best parts of both trucks and putting together frankenstein of sorts. Just as a rough idea, I am going to have plenty of little plastic bezels left and little accessories. Would anyone be interested in any of them? I know these things can be hard...
