Well, after several 1 and 2am mornings over the last year, the Rover is 99% done and hope to road test it this weekend. This truck had came to me from a local gentalman that bought it from Ebay (freshly shipped from overseas....I think we all know how most of those go.) He drove it for a year of two and then let it sit for 5 years and he's very anxious to get back into it. Here's a few pictures, enjoy.

Nice work Pete. Looks Great. Did you paint it yourself?

Travis. I did paint it. Painted it in my garage. Put my garage door up about 6-8 inches and put a fan in the back window so I had some air movement. Then I took my garden hose and wet the floor so I wouldn't stir up too much dust.

Wow--A very ambitious project to take on, considering the "before" photos. Nice job--it turned out great. :thumb-up:
