I've started welding up holes, dealing with dents and applying color to some of the bigger pieces that were previously sand blasted. I'm fairly happy with the results although the hood kicked my butt a bit causing me to sand and paint 3 times. You can see in one picture I ended up with some dry spots which were unacceptable. I had to go to Cloverdale in Lloydminster (~2 hours away) to get a new gallon of paint and was shocked to find even though the codes are the same and the dot on top looks good, the paint obviously isn't correct even after drying. Guess I'm going back next weekend I also had a great conversation with John Bizal and now have two types (Best Seal & OEM) of rear main seals to try which he recommends to have on hand in case one is too tight. Once the fenders and tailgate are painted it's on to the tub which will take time.
