Great progress. That's a lot of work, all that sanding, prep, and painting. Coming along nicely.
 
been a couple of weeks since i been on. The truck started running bad one traced the problem to a faulty points. I decided this would be a good time to put the truck back to electronic ignition that previous owner removed. After converting back to electronic and using a msd box and coil truck ran great. One day it got up to about 95 and truck would not stay cool so i bought a aluminum 3 core radiator and fan that i hope to put on soon i will post pics of progress with the truck. my cragar wheels are very rusty has any painted these before i was thinking of doing it dark gray or charcoal center and silver outer. thanks guys
