Squarebody resurrection.

Not a bunch of picture worthy stuff happening but I've got the doors on with new weatherstrip, painted the insides of the fenders, finished up the truck wiring and started on the engine wiring. I got the power steering hooked up with a custom hose. I was able to use all the 07 radiator, hoses, trans cooler by just making a couple of brackets. I had to modify the core support because I like the single headlight better than the 4 headlights. You can see where I cut marked in silver. I then made a shifter stand and a couple of cup holders. In coming pic dump.

Haven't got a lot done, ashtray and glovebox restored and installed, sorry no pics. Put the wheels and tires on it I'm gonna use. Need to paint the wheels can't decide between silver or black. Got the front end on and looking right. Need to figure out the engine wiring but my buddy is dealing with stuff with his dad and I've got some shit going on so it's waiting on that.

Found some time for the truck. This hood probably isn't worth saving but it's got a cool hinge system so I’m gonna patch up some holes and call it good. I'm not metal worker but it will be fine with a little body filler.

Finished up the hood. Overall 6 rust holes. Not bad. Everything will clean up during body work.

Played with the hammer and dolly and bit yesterday to work on the drivers door dent. The worst part is this was a perfect door that got blown over outside and dented up. Dummy.
