So it's been about 7 months since I've been able to get some time to work on the truck. This weekend was very successful though! Since we've got the whole front half of the truck down to the frame, it was time to start cleaning and polishing it up. And let me tell you...it looked a lot worse. With the right tools (thanks to my friend and neighbor) it took no time at all. Of course, it's hard to get into all of the nooks and crannies, but that's later. There's still some spots to finish but in two evenings we got a lot cleaned up.

I went back and forth and back and forth and back again between cleaning it by hand or taking the whole thing to a shop to media blast it. We settled on doing it by hand, which isn't awful! It's been fun actually. I'm learning how to use tools I've never used before. I may or may not invest in my own pressurized abrasive blaster to get into the tight places and crevices. We'll see.
