Absolutely astounding work, PP. This is going to be a masterpiece when you finish. What’s the plan for the truck body‘s finish?
I was thinking about the “old and dilapidated but is a hero” trope could be put to use, you know Tow Mater from Cars for example. Please don’t.

Much appreciated!! I want to do this right from the start best I can so it can be “serviceable” down the road for me the kids.
so I’m up in the air for the body, I’d love to do a cool paint job, however I don’t have time to paint and don’t really have a design in mind yet. BUT!!!!! The current “patina” look has been mentioned to me from several ppl I’ve shown my progress to, I think I’m leaning more towards that route. However I am seriously contemplating casting another body off of this one because they are sooooooo hard to find. I plan to finish the truck and then think long and hard on this and how I want to approach it.
I’ve watched many many videos from members here on mold making and casting body fenders and such with fiberglass work, the main issue is the mold has to be very very clean for the 1st gel coat layer and then from there laying down the fiberglass matting or sheeting. The body being kinda rough, I’m not 100% sure on how to approach that part.
