Good Morning Everybody!
I have to head out early today to get a bracket made for the boss's car. Then I get the pleasure of reassembling everything the kid tore apart the past two days. Jerry can tick me off with that crap. He will NOT focus on one thing. He gets two or three things all in pieces then wonders why nothing is getting done and parts are lost.

Jeff. Yeah, it's ready for the bed. I don't have anything else to do back there except replace a brake hose. Bring the bed and a hood and we'll see if we can make it look like a truck. 
I should be there 1730-2000 tomorrow and maybe just a few minutes tonight. My youngest has a concert at the school. (she's playing the recorder) I plan on being there all weekend long because I have to finish the Jeep quarter this weekend.
Oh yeah, ...any chance you have door weather stripping for the passenger side?

Jeff, I am pretty sure there is NO 73-79 door stripping that is salvageable up there, I have been thru pretty much all of them looking for some for ol red.
I am going to use some newer 80/90 ish door weather stripping with a metal strip built in that I think will go right in.
And I already have a set pulled off from RS, is you want to eye ball it on ol red....then I will tag along to RS with you? What time you want to come up to my place?
I can walk you to the grill for RC.

Well, if your not busy Rich! Sure, I wanted to see your red paint anyways! I am 90% sure I can head out tomorrow morning early. I keep forgetting stuff, so I want to take my time. Not that I need much, but I keep forgetting stuff.

Make your shopping list and do you remember how to get to my place? The earlier the better IMO they open at 0800, I'll have my back pack tool box, cordless sawzall, grinder...
Just let me know what time you can be here, I have a roofing appraisal guy coming over in the day sometime....I'll drive separate to the JY so you can slowly stroll the lines.
