Normally I dread seeing someone cut a clean example up. When I ran a salvage yard, I used to get a bunch of projects where someone got in over their head. It looks like you're that one out of ten that actually has the skills to do it right. Instead of ladling bondo on it, you're actually doing a quality job.

It looks like you really did some nice work!! Are you a body man by trade? It really looks like a professional job.
How long did it take to get the truck in that shape?

I know no one will ever see my hard work below the skin but I will know it was done the best it could be when complete.

Once you get it done, it will look like any other rag top Dakota. After a year though, the extra time will pay off. You won't have leaks and squeaks and it will still look good.
