And calculus will damn sure kick the butt... Until one day, It just makes sense, and it will. Took a while for me, but I finally got it. Stay at it...Yes I am still in school. Kinda sucks but I know it's a good thing. I'm 2 and a half hours from home so I don't get home to work on it much during the year. I'm majoring in construction management as of now. I took some engineering classes last year but the calculus kicked my butt. Hopefully I can get home one of these weekends and get the front sheet metal put on. In the last picture it is just sitting on the jack. I still need to trim some and fab some brackets to hold it so that will be the next step. Thanks for all the encouraging words!
you do nice work!Wow life gets busy. Havn't given you guys an update in quite a while, sadly thats because I haven't done much in quite a while. Got a part-time job while at school so don't have time to go home this year. Thankfully I get to go home for the summer so I am hoping to get a bunch done! I did go home for spring break and worked on the drivers side door a bunch. The bottom of the door was trashed from rust. The only solution i could think of was to hack the door in half and start rebuilding. Once I opened the door up I found out that the bottom hinge box was also trashed, so I cut it out and rebuilt it. Don't have pictures of it finished. also had to remove some of the interior of the door and replace it. The bead roller I got for Christmas sure did come in handy for this project! Currently looking for a drive train for the pickup. Thinking I am going to go with a 350 sbc. Have my eye on an 86 c20 running driving pickup that gets auctioned off tomorrow. If I can do it for under $1000 im gonna pull the trigger on it. Hopefully more to come with summer around the corner!

that is WAY TOO COOL!!!! I would wash it, make it mechanically sound, and drive itSpent the last half of my spring break dragging this beauty out of a barn and hauling it home. Found project number 3. This one was my great grandpas pickup and it was passed down to me, making it the second "free pickup" I have been given. Yes I said "free" because these suckers are far from free once they are done! I swear my family must want me to be broke the rest of my life! These things sure can eat up your money fast! But boy are they fun!

Thats the plan! Engine turns free. The leaf springs up front snapped in half but ive got the front end from the other one so thats an easy fix! Right now shes washed up and in the shed. I'd like to finish this one before I tear into another one.that is WAY TOO COOL!!!! I would wash it, make it mechanically sound, and drive it

I actually found that hammer in the pickup. I really don't know why I use it when dads got snap on hammers its always sitting in the pickup so its usually what I grab when I need oneYou sure are saving that old girl!
I love the rusty old hammer you use. Seems very appropriate.
