Thanks again! Should have the tires mounted on them next weekend

Picked up the body from media blasting this week. Found out the cab corners had been replaced before and the floor pan on the drivers side had pinholes all the way through in a bunch of spots and other parts of the passenger and drivers side floor had been filled with homemade filler pieces and it looks like crap. So new cab corners and floor pans as well as new inner rockers are on the way so that it will be fixed the right way now.

The bed, doors, fenders and hood look great though!

My new tailgate shell and all my seals and weatherstripping arrived as well and I got the body moved over to the new shop. Metal prep should start middle of next week.

had a little down time while my buddy who is doing all the paint and body got caught up on some other projects but this weekend we brought all the panels in the shop and got them all DA'd with 40 grit sprayed with epoxy primer. Should be bring and the cab and bed in tomorrow to do the same. Overall everything is looking solid minus one fender. Whoever did the paint job before I owned the truck really cut corners and there were two dents in the fender that stretched the metal pretty well and he just filled them in with bondo.

My buddy worked for a while to bring the metal back in and got it pretty good then we realized the top of the fender was completely rippled. So instead of having to use a bunch of body filler on that we opted to go with a new fender. Also the new floor pans, cab corners and inner rockers showed up.
