buds truck Posted September 20, 2014 Report Share Posted September 20, 2014 (edited) My Son (a great bodyman) is taking over the bodywork on my 53 while I take care of my wife while she is having Chemo for Breast Cancer. He has the left fender finished and just got the rust repair done on the right. The Hood, rear fenders and bedsides are next, then front panel, rear gate, doors and then finish the cab.

Brent B3B Posted September 21, 2014 Report Share Posted September 21, 2014 Cancer sucks! I am throwing up a prayer as well. Just thinking, that DODGE "O" on the tailgate will sure look good "pink". 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Balazs Posted September 21, 2014 Report Share Posted September 21, 2014 We will be saying a prayer here too. God bless. Jeff 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pflaming Posted September 21, 2014 Report Share Posted September 21, 2014 Brendt, I like your suggestion, maybe we all should paint the center "O" on our gates pink. Could use a good water color and wash off when her battle is won. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merle Coggins Posted September 22, 2014 Report Share Posted September 22, 2014 Prayers here as well for your wife and you. Praying all goes well. It's good, however, to hear that work is continuing on your truck. Merle 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buds truck Posted November 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 one rear fender done, the other is under way. Progress, albeit slow is better than none. I am letting my son do it slow but right. Still looks on track to drive it next summer. Crossing fingers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
