Re: New Pickup Bed Vs. rebuilding the Original?
I faced the same problem - Do I fix all the rust areas, and straighten out the sheet metal, then body work and then the paint? I went that way, and after many hours (estimate 30+) I still have a bed...

Re: 30/31 Pickup body wood patterns
I’m past the wood stage. I found a guy who would sell me just the pieces I needed - rear upper cab brace, wood inside the door jams. Let me know if you want his name.

Re: Saga of the Hood - CCPU Now the visor
I don’t have a very good way to hang the items - and from my experience in painting the Visor - it starts moving, and becomes pretty hard to control. Like Pop says, it’s easier to paint it flat.

Saga of the Hood - CCPU
I’ve caught some warm weather the last few weeks - and got my hood painted before winter. I just thought I would post a few pictures of the process.

Re: CCPU Windshield and header panel - wrong?
Went back and read post #3 - I might be ok... the panel is tight against the wood where the hinge fits, and it is pressed back so there isn’t a gap now, and I can get the screws to hit the wood. No...

Across the entire top of the wood header - ...

I've inserted the header panel that extends up the front of the wooden header to the top of the cab. It is bowed somewhat, so I've pushed it back as far as it will go. When I set the windshield...
