Fortunately, I don't have any rust in the truck so I won't be posting pics/text on that but I have been pulling dents, filling the antenna hole, etc. which will be followed by a complete repaint. Body work is body work - doesn't matter if it's a Mercedes or a Yugo. Besides, the technology keeps marching on and the info in the FSM will be out of date. Still, it will be useful to see how the panels fit together, especially where there are multiple layers like in the sill area. I'm guessing that the FSM will show that.

Have Fun! (I enjoy body work)

I like it too - though it takes me a bit too long to weld at the moment. Still I'm getting there.

I was thinking I'd check in the FSM before I pull the sills off. I can see how they are attached but the jacking points are in an awkward position - I was thinking perhaps the FSM has a few tips.

My progress is here =>
