Thank you Baja, Real touching comment. I had a guy from Hawaii comment with "Much Smoothness" which is one of the highest compliments given.
Don't know how true that is, but I'll take it with that meaning.

 

Looks to me, like you are doing 'Nuke' grade work amigo. When you are doing it mostly yourself, you can take all the time you should. In a shop, or business, $$ motivation forces short cuts. Things like rain gutters, and seams, get "Bondo Bucket" treatment. The speed of right, should dictate progress, not $$ signs.. Sadly, little details like that are let to slip past the QC inspector, for the sake of budget. Keep doing it right, it looks good..

Baja

 

Thanks Baja! Money is a big factor, but, I had plenty of overtime money to supplement the truck fund! Now, just gotta get my knee fixed (I go in tomorrow for replacement), and I can get back on it, probably be a month or so.

Oh, and we finally got back online, after 3 weeks over the schedule!

 

2x with Baja,
I've looked through your build pixs and saw that you did find the "0" can of worms when getting inside your build. You've gone one step beyond the average guy with welding skills.

Thanks Orich, it's certainly been a lot of work! Good thing I enjoy it so much!!LOL

 

It is good to see that some still value quality. Hope the knee repair is successful, and that they put in the right part. My wife had a hip replacement, and I got to be "Nurse Ratchet".. (remember 'One flew over the coocoo's nest), for about 2 weeks.

Be very diligent with your rehab, and keep after it plenty. People who don't do their physical therapy well suffer later..

We finished at Susquehanna only 2 days late, and I skated out the door on the last Sun. of the outage. The dust was still settling, as I boarded the airplane. Bawwaaa, I missed most of the "Frisk & Shout"...

Just read this whole thread. Made me laugh several times.
So as I do on most cool threads I am subscribing so as not
to miss anything. FTE is great as are the folks that live here.

Arctic, Rich, Or Tricky as I am called by the King ND. Long
story that.
Long live the King. And Queen.

 

Saludos all, & for Gangstakr... here is a photo of my grill, and just for laugh's, a photo of my truck's grandpa..

Speedy recovery Pat. If you're not a fellow cigar smoker you might not understand, but I'll say "Long Ashes Too You".

 

I'll be darned........ JOHNNY REALLY DID BUILD IT.

 

Just sat outside with a Macanudo last night, as a matter of fact, Jeff....

 

Just finished sound mat inside my doors... makes a way different sound when closing, and has added 40 lbs to each door... Don't think it will affect my mileage any...

just so you know there really are fish to go with the stories..

 

LOL,
Best thing i did to my truck too. No more TWANNNGGGG what you close the door. Sounds more like a Caddy
Lovin the bumper too

 

Yep, closes like a Caddy now. No more tin bell ringing.. Hardwood arm rests being made as I type, by my local carpenter. Same wood as the bumper, and the steering wheel...

I take it that you might be a teacher, (Teach'Nlive), as is my wife.. Try reading "Tisha", a story about a young girl, in the 20's who goes to Chicken Alaska, to become a teacher... way interesting read...

Baja

 

Ha ha. Good one Baja. Reminds me of the pic below. With the caption "I guess that answers that question".
