1950 Chevy 3100 1/2 Ton

[JTKimothy]

Hey there, so I'll start off by telling you all that I know nothing about cars. However, to give myself a little credit, I have quite a college education and I'm more than willing to learn and very determined to succeed - even if it's just to prove wrong those who doubt me! HAHA I'm a thick headed Italian girl

I've always wanted to restore an old truck. I took the plunge and bought a 1950 Chevy 3100 1/2 ton. It's in decent condition, lots of surface rust, but minimal major rust damage. The chassis is in sturdy condition, although I'm not sure I'll be using it or not. The motor doesn't run at all, it's been sitting for 25 years at least.

Brought it home on Saturday and began sanding the rust down. In just one day's work, I was able to get the driver's side door down to the bare metal. Pretty impressed with myself, I have to say. It took several coats of paint stripper and about 5 hours of sanding.

I know this is going to take a long long time, but like I said, I'm determined to do it myself. I know that parts can be sent here and there to be done professionally, but I kind of think that takes the fun out of it. I would like to do as much of this myself as possible. Gonna need your help though Send the tips my way!!!
