The little red truck was painted a couple of years ago.  Getting caught up on the blogg.  Here are some pictures:

catching up with pictures that were missed!!

Since last update a year ago a few things changed:

1.  Rebuild the carburetor

2.  Started doing some body repairs  --before pictures to follow:

patching the right rear fender

more patch work

rust on the lower part of the fender, this will be tricky to fix

hood will need some work

under the front fender

body work - using bondo filler and welding !!

Finally now that I have most of the mechanical updates out of the way, I am now able to start working on the body:
My plan is as follows:

1. Weld and repair rusty spots.
2. Apply bondo filler to fix problem areas.
3. Use sand paper to sand down bondo and smoothen the areas of work.
4. Apply one or two layers of primer by the end of October.

Below are some before pictures of the truck.  It needs quite a bit of work.
