That's so nice, to be able to unbolt the rear section of cage. Painting will be so much easier. I was pretty much hanging upside down painting the back of my cab. I bumped my head on tubes, scratched my back on tabs, all while trying to snake through tube work.

I can't wait to see how it turns out.

Waayyyyyyyy too nice Rob! We'll expect a "masterpiece of vintage metal" spread when this is done.

Awesome! Had an opportunity to hang out with some of Tavos crew a couple years ago. Good times! We won't arrive until Friday evening, but we'll be there with the usual suspects. Would like to catch the race somewhere in the pine forest.

Strippage of the OG Old Baja has started. There is no stopping now, no turning back, I've just started a clock that can't be stopped. Please pray for Old Baja!

Looking forward to seeing this come together. It's going to be a great truck, you've gathered so many nice parts.

I was able to enlist the help of a good friend, Fred Beretta. We were able to install all the rear cross members in Old Baja today. This may not seem like much , believe me that center black member that holds the the bumps is " The Cross Member From Hell"
