Afternoon Everyone!

I've been kicking butt at the shop today, but I still have more to do. The fender flairs and tailgate are painted for HR, and I got my crane mounted on the trailer. I made a bracket that goes under the deck, so the base isn't bolted to the floor, it clamps to the frame of the trailer. After lunch, I plan on getting the railings made for my tires. After that's done, I can start in on Mongo.

I sure am glad someone got to be productive today. All I did was sit around and oversee the GED test today...

Morning folks, I made a few calls last night to some swap meet contacts. I think I have some more early Bronco parts sold.

Alan can you call me when you get a chance, I know you hate it when your cell rings and I do not want to be the cause of you to throw it out into the parking lot and run EQ over it. lol I have a "local" favor to ask...

i just dug thru the storage sheds at the house, now i have the truck loaded with diesel parts again.. i will head to the shop and dig out the 3 engines and some other parts, then put it all in a pile... my customer called earlier and should be here about noon or so.. after looking at the stack of parts i think i may of made him too good of a deal.. its more than 2 pickup loads of parts plus 3 complete engines.... i guess it is good for me, not only will it make more room at the shop but it will keep me from planning anymore diesel projects..

Afternoon All!

High Roller is slowly starting to return to it's former glory. I started putting the body back together for the last time today. Man, this is a cool lookin' truck!

Only problem is, I keep falling asleep at the shop. I'm worn slick here, lately. I need a break, but don't want to take one until the truck is done.

Now that the trailer is done, I need to start in on Mongo. It doesn't need much for inspection, but I still have to get it done. Exhaust, windshield, tail lights and wipers.

"That guy" had to post. Howdy all, work and the shop are running me ragged. I'm going to use up some old paint on Ms Dent to make her one color in the near future...at least on the visible side. Looks like Alan has been rocking right along at even faster than normal Alan pace. Got to see Dan at the Versailles Sonic cruise this past Saturday, really good time. Have a great evening all!

good evening all..
it has been a long hot day today that came close to ending really bad.. is it that maybe i really am a azz**** or what?? ..i almost got into a knock down drag out again today.. after spending 2 hrs. loading parts the guy tells me he dont think he is getting 800.00 worth of diesel parts and offers me 1/2 of what we agreed to.. i picked up a steel bar and convinced him to change his mind.... i thought once you make a deal (with lots of pictures) and get me to work for 2 days getting the parts ready that you should just pay for your parts, thank me and go home...
