He said early march was the proposed target date for completion. We all know what that means...right?

I stopped by this afternoon to drop off a new seat cover and check out the progress. It sure looks different with all the paint and rust removed and clean metal! The guys were smoothing out dents and whatnot on the body and driver's running board.

TN -- Here is a short video of my truck running.

 

[TexasNomad]

Sweet! I love the sound of a Flattly

 

[Brian_B]

I looked at the pics earlier today (before work). The truck is looking good!

Wow I checked out their website and wow I wish I could do this to my truck

 

[Brian_B]

It will be fun to do it all myself, but man...thats a lot of work!

 

[TexasNomad]

I would love to do the work too but these guys are true pro's your truck is going to be jaw dropping when these guys get done.

My thoughts exactly guys. I would love to tackle something like this but realize how much effort is involved. Plus these guys already have all the tools and resources at hand, not to mention years of experience and a huge shop to work in.

I did some simple body repairs on my daily driver while in college, strictly bondo and spray paint (matching the body color). The biggest spot I could stick my hand into. When it was completed the repairs looked fine from a few yards out but hardly professional. I have a ton of respect for Bob and others who do much of their own work.

next missouri chapter get together: when the truck is done to see it IRL!!!
