Oh bare metal, how I love thee

The body tub is in the garage! I hope that I will be able to beat, cut, weld, and will it into shape in a short amount of time. Whilst waiting for the completely useless person pictured below to help me move the body tub (which he showed up too late to actually do) I took the paint off the hood. I almost wish that I could paint a clear coat on the bare metal and call it a day. I love the way that bare metal looks, but I know that it would be murderous to drive a vehicle with with a hood that is as shinny as this one would be.

Enjoy the photos!

p.s. The guy in the photos is not really useless. I just like to give him a hard time.
