I'm making progress on my roof situation. We chopped the donor roof off my original cab and I started removing the roof skin on my good cab. Once the instructors in my auto body class got a good look at the roofs they decided it would be best to preserve the door and window openings and only take the skin off. Originally, I thought we would be chopping it at the posts. I sure hope I can get everything done in the three remaining class sessions. It's going to be close. I posted more pictures on my web site. A couple of them show just how rotted out my original cab is.

I just realized I had a typo in my web site link. The server that hosts my pages recently changed names and I missed part of the new URL. All is better now. I know many of you lost sleep over not being able to access my site form this link. Sorry!

Be sure to check out the project archive. I've added a lot of stuff recently.

It's definitely been worth the price of tuition. I've been able to play with a lot of tools I can't afford. I think every garage should have a lift and downdraft spray booth!
