I reuploaded photos of my original work. I have been making my own panels back in 2009. While the work I was doing was decent it wasn't up to par with the panels available today so I have going back and redone almost all of the prior work. I have also gone back and addressed more problems I hadn't dug into back then. Here are photos from 2009

So I hosted all the original photos on Photobucket so they are gone. I am reloading those original photos of when I first bought it in 2007 and then the current progress.

damn J this is some good shit. The metal work stages are the best because you can totally see your accomplishments fall into place. Good job saving this truck.

Way cool truck. I am going through my 62 single cab currently. Spent all day yesterday rebuilding the left inner splash pan and inner rockers/outriggers etc. I love these trucks! Mine is light gray too... way to go!
Narrowing bus vents to fit hacked out single versions!
as it sits

Very nice, I wouldn't be surprised if you could make a whole bus yourself from scratch!
One thing I find troubling is how people even let their cars get in this condition in the first place. |
