Making a lil more progress!! I'm gonna lay down the paint in the morning!!
The hood was pretty rough. If you look at the previous pics you can see how smashed the front driver side corner was!!! Not anymore!!

Thanks for all the compliments!!! I thought by now I would have all the paint done except for the bed. But once I sanded down the passenger side door I realized how bad it was!! It needs extensive body work. I plan on doing that this weekend. I'm also going to rebuild my dash and I have a lil bit of floor to replace.

dash and wheels
After looking at my junk dash for awhile, I decided to bite the bullet and fiberglass the dash pad to get rid of all the holes and cracks.
Just taken out of the truck.
Cleaned up and drying in the sun.
First coat
2nd coat
While waiting on the glass to dry, I sandblasted and powder coated one of my wheels to see what they are going to look like!
In the next pic you get a real good look at just how ugly they were.

Thanks. I don't think it will, I have a buddy with a metallic blue dash. It doesn't cause a problem.

That's amazing work. I've heard that polyester resin will melt foam, like a dash. Did you use poly or epoxy resin on the dash?

Good to know. It's a lot easier to get. I am enjoying your build. I have a feeling this isn't your first restoration.
