I've been pretty busy taking care of all the sanding, body work, and finally painting. I just shot my truck yesterday, here are some of the before, during, & after pix. I should have her all back together by the end of next week. I can't wait to drive!

The Farmer-250 is Complete! I apologize for the finished pics, it has been overcast all week and couldn't get any sunshine to make the Silver really POP, but here it is. I'll give it a proper photo shoot as soon I get some rays of sunshine.

Good job man, looks a sight better than what you started with.

Wow! If you would have told me that the truck in the first pictures will look anywhere near that in the near future, I wouldn´t have believed you! And all this in such a short amount of time!

What a sweet project. You really did an outstanding job. I am just beginning to restore my 72 Camper Special. Like you, trying to squeeze in a few minutes here and there as time and $$$ permit. I expect it will take about 2 years. I noticed that you didn't take off the camper special emblems when you painted it. I would like to remove mine before painting but I for the life of me can't figure out how to remove them unless I remove the cowl. Here's a few pics of mine. The first pic is of the original owner and the night that I picked it up. He loved that truck and I thought he was going to cry when I drove off in it. Next pic of me cleaning the rims and getting ready for paint. The last is the most recent after I've had a little time to do some general clean up.

Nice work, I am still on sanding and body work right now. Lots of time on the sander.
