The fenders were roughed and made ready for primer. I probably should have saved the original ones since there was so little rust in them, since the OEM replacements are sort of catch-alls that fit every year and therefore don't truly fit any year. There is a bracket on the passenger side that won't be correct, but they will finish out really nicely so it's probably worth it. Nothing like new parts.
The bib was rust-free for the most part, though we had to repair holes that were drilled to accommodate a pair of makeshift padlocks that was installed at some point in this truck's life.
I don't think that anyone is looking forward to refinishing the fiberglass roof or taking out all of the glass in the top. It and the clip from an old Corvette are both in the "we don't wanna do it" corner of the shop.
