Turning out very nice!
No... that snow was from last winter. We started pulling it apart over Thanksgiving 2012. Though my father retired from the body shop, he still works full time so the project is proceeding slowly but surely. I live about an hour and a half away from them so I travel back to help when I can and bring projects (transfer case rebuild, interior cleaning, small part painting, dashboard repair) back to my house. My father also adapted a boat trailer to carry the body down the Mass Pike so that I could Monstaliner the floor this summer. I asked for a project and he showed up with THAT! Thank God it made it back in one piece.
I should have mentioned my mother's contribution to this build... she donated her garage space and suffered through a winter with a cold Subaru. I built her a dining room table as payment, but truth be told she's getting a bad deal because her garage is still in use a year later.
