Just admiring all 123 horsepower in this beast. Changing out some gaskets and sensor stuff, mocking up some inner fender stuff so I can get things painted.

From mock up to paint.

Was up wrestling the front end around, installing welting, going to have to mess with the front fenders and hood a bit more to get all the gaps right. Here you can see some of the flaws in the clear coat, seemed to do this everywhere the clear got runs, solvent popping not clearing out...

Hopefully I stuffed enough engine in to get it up and down trailer ramps? 😄

Thanks, it certainly takes patience, time, money still but hopefully all worth it in the end. I hate bodywork I decided, so tedious. Also while I'm thinking about it and these trucks being designed off the 39 coupes. This is a good book for some knowledge about these trucks. Some folks...

These use the same grille as the standard coupes, didn't seem right with the all chrome one, wait till we start bolting on the detail stuff. Also using the chrome coupe deluxe headlight bezels, trucks had painted ones.

It was the same story on the wagon. This time it's all on us. Still much to do while working day jobs and living life outside the shops.

Almost like we been doing something all these years? I love the front of these trucks, totally designed off the coupe. We gonna make autorama?

I too have a throwaway 2011 Sorento, V6, SX, AWD, does what I need it to do and get me around. Been daily driving it 4-5 years now, have done struts, bushings and alternator. Think I'm around 164k.

Bouncing between home and shop days, upon reflection, don't mind the dirty cab. Hood is under its own spring power again.

Current stock is being handed out to family and I'm sure a few others, There will be much socializing going on next year so maybe have some items then?

Some personal family merch? We are the Price family, none of the hot rods are for sale, to us they are.

Been too focused on truck project lately, haven't touched the Jeep for a minute, finished mocking up rocker guards, still need to get a different overflow bottle, get a new tailgate then maybe I can take all this stuff off and paint it. Also need to change out the 02 sensor, fuel pump and check...

I love throwing shit away, I think I tossed about 2 dozen RPB welding hoods tonight.

Lighting makes a world of difference?

Why yes, yes it does have a little V8 in it. 😉

I've never heard anyone say this and certainly not apologizing, just acknowledging it's got a few flaws, we are aware of them all, I personally could care less, I'm beyond grateful and happy with how it is all turning out, it is much more than just a truck, I've spent more time with my brother...

Thank you, it's certainly not without flaws, that's also came with lessons, we are not a shop, just a family with a hobby? My brother gets credit for the bulk of this, I imagine most people will only see the truck as a whole and not see the flaws? Guess we'll see how my vision of how I wanted...

Just got some running boards to polish and maybe we can get these fat fenders put on? Still the tailgate and some smalls that can come later.
