    Cool to see the progress.

    I was just going through some old PMs and saw the ones where we were discussing seats ... made me wonder how the car was coming along ... and viola... here's your post ... too cool.

    Looking good! If you don't mind saying what did it cost to have the car media blasted and epoxy primed?

    Congrats on the Best Built award! :thumbs2:

    Media blasting cost us $850.00 and the Epoxy Primer was $550.00. I now need to get to rear quarters and a right side rocker. I will also need to order a carbon fiber hood from Maverick Man so I can get the fenders lined up when I start the body work shortly. I really wanted to find a straight rust free grabber hood but that seems to be the impossible task.

    Is that a 61 Ford Unibody P/U your fenders are sitting on? I always wanted one of those. Maverick is looking great by the way. Wish mine was that far along.

    I now they are different but I am on fender number 4 for the left side. Either the fenders I get are not as described or the shipping company destroys them. There is some holes in the lower left fender. I am try to decide if I want to section in a piece or go look at a fender I found locally. One thing about media blasting is it will reveil areas that you would not normally find. There are a few more areas that needs to addressed that I was not planning on.
