Your attention to detail and fabrication skills are impressive. I don't know if I'd have the ambition to dig in that far.
I had no desire to. I wanted the title to be hard so I would just part this one out. It was easy….. and it deserved to live.
Six hours of stripping aftermarket spray foam and flapper wheeling rust and paint. Yeah….

Whew what a job but progress and sticking to it takes determination
Ya just gotta suck it up and get-er-done.
Well that sucks. The snowball is accelerating. It was hit in this side and sort of fixed by the same shop in Phoenix that probably put the quarters on the Valiant in the 80s.
Rusty metal removed and now I have to pull this front side to fix the inner fender. Sigh.

What a memory to look back at when you are done it took me 4 years after work and some weekends to restore a 1968 Dodge WM300 Power Wagon
Needed to feel like I was making forward progress today.

This was my buddy's '65 A100. It had a 360, auto trans, 8 3/4" sure-grip 3.23:1
He sold it in 2016 to purchase his '63 Dodge 440 (383, auto (push button)).

Bumblebee stripe interesting…..
One side mostly done. Need to fix the exterior panels before doing much else. Drivers side bad metal is cut out ready for new patches.
No question I am going to have to fabricate these lower sections or all this work is for naught.

Few more panels fabricated and started to be welded in. Tape makes a great and accurate template. Need to install the battery box captured nuts positioned and welded in correctly first.
Time to stop when the welder runs out of gas... push it and pay with blow throughs and poor welds... just walk away and fix it another day.... Close though...
Screwing off at Spring Fling.
.
Hey, it was a trip to collect all the missing parts. I need to finish the truck it was all work no play.
Weekend haul. This is a LOT of the parts I was needing.
Weekend in LA at the MOPAR Spring Fling show. 18 or so Superbirds/Daytona/Charger 500s were there. Missed meeting Jay Leno (comes every year) but did hang with Justin from Graveyard Carz and his dad (Charger, Superbird) a bit one evening. Fun time, a do again.
Nice toenails Jim, but I'm not judging
The wife was standing there. Yea that’s it. -
