Thanks guys....finished up the welding and started the bodywork today. Can't see if from this angle but finished the edges with 7/16 round stock.

Hmmmm hope this isn't a double post. Thanks guys! Yes Dozer...tons of hours. Was keeping a log but I stopped counting.

Body work done on the nose piece..... gona put her in 3 coats of epoxy primer tomorrow.

Since the frame angles in I had to leave one side of the lower bars loose so I could push it in to slide the nose piece on. Once on, I bolt that section in-place at the tab with one carriage bolt.

Not sure if I'm going to go with polished trim or paint it satin black, satin black headlight rims... satin black strips on the bed oak.....

I like the shiny bezels on the lights, ties in good with the center grill piece. A few small chrome bits to give it a little pizzazz….
