Hey thanks! Im getting better at it with every new piece!

 

I second that! Nice work! That truck looks like it has a good home!

 

Thanks alot! A few of those pieces are repro parts, but the easier stuff and the stuff that isnt reproduced i made myself. I was surprised i could make that bottom piece of the door pillar thing or whatever its called. I didnt think i could make all those 90 degree bends that close together. Like i said it gets easier and easier each time!

 

Dismantled the parts trucks some more. It was an excuse for my dad to use his new crane! It has about twice the capacity as the other one. The stick isnt even all the way out in the pictures, plus it has a jib as well.

 

Now that is a nice lift! Good looking shop too, I envy the high ceiling.

 

drivers side cab corner is pretty much buttoned up. Cut out the passenger side to see what it looked like. I was hoping it might be a little better, but its gonna be about the same as the other. I also fixed where the metal was ripped out where the front seat bolts are.

 

Thanks! my dad needs the high ceiling to get the equipment and dump trucks inside to work on.

 

I found some rust in the floor that i missed before. Made a new piece and got it tacked in. The floor is completely done now. Just the passenger side cab corner and back wall to do yet.

 

Nick,
Good job as usual with the rust repairs.

 

I just read through your entire build thread. 2 hrs...my butt hurts from sitting that long! But I wish my son was doing something constructive like you! Very very cool! Your parents are very lucky that you stay busy with good stuff! I have a son that struggles with some bad stuff, and hope someday that he stops wasting his life in chemical enhancement....
But he is 19 and nobody can get through to him...myself included...

So keep doing what you are doing...you are pretty good at it!

Oh...and get a haircut...

just messin with ya...

 

Hey thanks a lot. Im having fun every time i get to work on it so i dont think ill stop any time soon. Ive had some friends that have gotten into mind altering things, and yes they dont really want to listen to anybody about it. Only they can realize what it does to them before they decide its not worth it.

Ill cut the hair when the ladies quit telling me it looks nice.

 

right on!

 

Very inspiring! Great to see someone doing positive things with their life.

Great work on the truck!

 

God made few perfect heads. The rest he put hair on.

 

Looks awesome. You are doing a great job with the metal work.
