Default Progress

A banner day today - I had the cab front, floor plates, nose/front clip, side pillars, bush guard, grill, bumper, and fuel tanks sandblasted. The chap who does this work has a great set up - drive in, drop the goodies and drive out. Turn around time was less than a full day. Sure, it cost more to have a pro do the dirty deed, but in the end, the reduced cost in sweat, toil and tears makes it worth the cost.

While the kit was being denuded, I peeled the skin of one of the side panels just to determine the extent of rust damage. It was not a pleasant sight, but on the bright side I get the feeling that my welding ability (no skill) will improve over this coming long, bleak, cold winter.
