Evening All!

This Chevy cab was worse than I thought. The truck was hit in the back and the bed met the cab with substantial force. I think about 60% of the mud work is done. This thing is gonna take a minute to get right.

Evening All!

This thing is getting worse! I noticed today that somebody welded a complete new ceiling in it!

Half of the cab was gone due to rot, the other half was mangled. It needed a new inner roof, rain gutters, etc. ....and this was the GOOD cab???!!! What the hell did the other one look like?!

I hope to lay some primer down tomorrow, though.

Evening All!

RC stopped by for a visit and to pick up his door panels for ole' Rip. It was good talkin' to ya' again, RC.

I'm moving really slow on the Chevy cab. I just can't grind mud for a week straight. I'm starting to lose interest. .....and feeling in my fingers.

I decided to get Earthquake off the trailer and bring him in for more safety upgrades. Next on the list is relocate the battery and put the rear mounted battery cut off in.

I got to drive a 67 or a 69 F600 Fire truck with 2269 miles on it today. Had to relocate it to rural fire dept bldg.

They have the horn/SIREN wired up to the steering wheel horn button. And it works great!

It is about gut less though , even with an empty 500 gal water tank. And the brakes are sketchy (I would say only one front caliper is not working or sticking) to say the least.

Sorry no action over the hood pics, I was to busy driving that thing.
