Hello all, I am WH from KY.

I am restoring my Dad's last truck, a 1980 Jeep J10 pickup truck, with a Sport Side, (Step side) bed.

I have replaced every seal and bearing, taken all metal parts to bare metal, and sealed and primed. I am painting now. I have so far, done everything myself, except for the engine machining, and the upholstery.

I am cutting and buffing the parts as I am painting them, and thus is how I found this site. I purchased my Flex and accessories from Auto Geek, and want to learn more about the cutting and buffing, and then proper care care.

I appreciate any help you all can give.

I have a link to my progress so far, I will try to include it in the signature, but for now, here it is.

Welcome to Autogeek Online!

Very cool project you have going!!
 
Thanks Mike,
I would like to see more of yours...

Dad07,
The frame rusted completely in two in winter of 09. I found a donor February 2nd, 2010 and started that day.

August 2nd, it will be 2 and a half years, Painting has been a chore, and still is...

If I get it worked out and painted, I have everything ready to fit in place, the dash is painted and ready, the wiring has been re done, etc.

I just need to figure out painting and cut and buff...

Thanks!
 
Welcome. Always good to see a Fellow Kentucky member, I am right down the road from you.............Go Big Blue Nation !!!
 
Hello Wendell,

My daughter will be starting her second year at Eastern, in August. She is not driving yet but soon will be, so until then I an down there twice every two weeks or so.

Before Feb 2013 I hope to drive the Jeep down.

Thanks!
