Re: Best route to take
Morning guys. I just finished mine, well mostly. I started from the ground up. Got down to bare frame and worked up from there. I figure thats the way they build them, thats the way to rebuild them. In all reality, I found doing it that way made things simpler and you could see and repair things you won't see if the body or parts of it are still on the frame. For me it was a huge undertaking because for the most part I have to work alone, but, I did it and if I can anyone can.
I'll be putting up a description of the job, what was done and how I did it for anyone who cares to see. I do have some pics of the finished product but they aren't real good so I'm not putting any up yet. When the danm snow is gone I'll get more. I have 50 pics of the job along the way. It is an absolutely daunting task!! I can't count the number of times I said "what the hell have I gotten myself into now"? Have faith in yourself and you'll be able to do it. Mabey you have to farm some stuff out, so what? I farmed out the paint work and I'm real glad I did. It was way more complicated than I thought it was, I'm used to laquer.  Jim

Little stuff left to do is mount winch, wet sand & buff out and build belly pan\running boards. Body work takes lots and LOTS of beer!!!! God, Guts and Guns made America and God, Guts and Guns will preserve it! The worst thing you could do is get into my sights, but that don't matter, you'll never know it, cause you'll never hear the shot Jim or Paladin whichever you choose.
