"One of these things is NOT like the others,
one of these things just doesnt belong....."
josiah drove a minivan today.
ray spraying the first coat of POR15:
after 2nd coat:
josiah pete and miles was helping them as well but not in the pic, raping the poor truck of all the good bits:
justin putting the good bits onto josiahs truck and fussing with the body lines to make it look pretty:
brendon using the plasma cutter to cut out the old floor panels:
its great how much help we have had with this project, we probably have the best Chapter in all of FTE.
we knocked off "early" today, around 8. we will be there tomorrow and barring any unforeseen tragedies we should have it drivable if not completely done.

It really has been great. I can't say enough how much I appreciate all the help from you guys. I want to apologize to Brendon for not being able to join him to see Lisa, but I must be getting to sleep. Goodnight gents.

Good morning Jim and everyone else.
Wow you guys are making some great head way on Josiah's truck.
You guys have been lucky that you pick one of the best weekends so for to do this project.
I really wish I could come help.
Today I am going to a men's church breakfast ( once a year thing ) with my dad and 2 sons.
I have been going with my dad for about 30 years.
Then I need to look at a job and then go to a kid b-day party.
