Well the beast is coming along rather well. We got the front fenders off and the 1/4" of Bondo removed to find that the idiot that had it before me was no body man. It should have only been about 1/32" thick. Then we sanded the 1/8" of paint off the hood to find that the hood was in really good shape. We beat some minor dents out of the fenders and the Beast is looking ready for some primer. Still haven't tackled the floor pans yet but that will come in time.

Well as you can see in my Gallery the Ranchero is coming along rather well. I got the hood scoop mounted and blended into the hood so it looks like it was made on there. Started tackeling the floor pans and found out that they were not as bad as I first thought. I glasses the entire floor pan and will get some carpet and seats to install. I also went out and bought a freshly rebuilt 351W/HO to put into the Beast. Although it really isnt looking like a beast now.
