Re: Slow go
IMO, a good used door is the best first option. Repro sheetmetal will usually require a lot of work to make them fit right, especially the doors. I only buy used, but it is easy to find rust free metal around here (So Cal) for cheap.

Re: Slow go
honestly kid, i'm proud of ya. for a young guy or girl to want to do things themselves says alot about the kind of passion you have for these trucks.
when i was young i wanted everything "right now" and didn't have patience. The best advice i can give you is "slowly but surely" . This may not turn out to be a show stopper, but it is damm good experience. A young guy turning wrenches and asking for advice would be welcome in any hot rod/classic truck crowd. i'll be watching. beeb |

Re: Slow go
I like the way the drip rails look. What did you do to get them to look like that?

Re: Slow go
Wet sand it and spray another coat of primer and you will be fine. Nice work so far.
