This is her with Jason from Stratton motorsports loading her up for the restoration.
If you are getting one done you might as well get both done since the truck is here.

Weird, that street looks oddly familiar? Are you in NW Broward County by any chance?

The double cab has arrived back from media blast. This 1962 has its bumps and bruises but looks pretty good. Next up metal repair

That's a fine looking machine there. What color will it be? I vote for the og color, and a stock looking build.

Is that a skim coat of bondo y'all found, or is it pretty deep?
