Gave 'er another shot this weekend and made some progress.

Started with this.

Put on the new wheel arch. My welds are improving. They hold but are not cosmetically very good. I'm open to constructive critism on that. Hell, I encourage it.

Little pieces are tougher than they should be.

The rest of the "arch" below this and to the rear of the box is going to be fully replaced on the next session. I don't have the parts on hand yet. It was a lot worse that originally though. I was going to patch it, but once it was tore into, it was pretty obvious that it needed to be competly cut out and replaced.

On and ready for the fiberglass.

The glass was put on by my dad, then showed me how to "rake" the high areas. I then was given the tast to as he put it..."sand like a mofo."

Sanded and ready for body filler.

I'll tackle the rusted out area behind the pass. side wheel arch next time. And maybe, just maybe if i'm lucky enough the drives side cab corner. That should be the last of the major metal work that will need to be completed. I'm sure there will be a few spots that pop up when stripping paint off.

Camp is where you make it.
