So here goes!
Welcoming home the '55 SC. Looking nice, a few big dings and some funky yellow paint and oh.... some rust.

At this point we started to strip it.... and strip it some more... and then I decided that there is just too much rust and too much that I want to fix, so we decided that we weren't going to go for the ratty look. (Which displeased the hubby

We got it sandblasted by my uncle for the hefty price of a carton of grog

Honestly though some of the panels were a bit worse off then I had thought, but some surprised me completely.
The gutters were fine. Cab floor, not so much. The expected drivers side outer sill was terrible along the bottom. But the engine bay wasn't too shabby.

Ahhhh she's nice and clean.
While I was away hubby decided he would start on the drivers side lower sill.

Then with lots of welding and grinding and some swearing involved we attached the new sill!

Camera is out at the moment so new pics tomorrow with some more updates on what we've done.
By the way it was super awesome meeting you Pauly and Danny. Will definitely need to catch up again sometime. And we can't wait to see your build thread on your new panel Chris.
