Feeling much better today. I felt better yesterday... I'm thinking there was no need for me to go to the medical center unless I really wanted to pay the bills for it No results yet, typical. I probably won't get any 'till Tuesday. Friday I slept all day except when I was at the center, and I slept shortly after all through the night. Yesterday I was up most of the day but still got some rest in and slept all through the night until the dog had to go out around 4am.

Feeling so good I actually put a quick wax on the truck. Shines good now! I have to find my SD card so I can use my good camera to take some great shots of it at Harkness or something.

Oh man, I am totally screwed

Alright guys. I am sending this out now in hopes of some takers and helpers. It seems like we will be getting started on the transformation and restoration of my truck starting within the next couple weeks. We will be doing a bed swap and front fenders swap, and would like to do some cleaning up of the frame at the same time, as well as patching the cab a little. We will also be getting the engine stuff together around the same time. Is anybody interested and able to help at any point of this process. The more people we have, especially for the frame stuff, the better. As always there will be pizza and beverages provided. There isn't an exact time set yet, but I figured I would get the idea out there in hopes of some takers. I would like to get it done as quickly as possible so that I am not inconveniencing people more than I am sure I already am with this stuff. Thanks ahead of time.

It will be at Ray's shop, and barring Ray's schedule I think, we will be getting started next weekend.
