Speaking of close... the cab is ready for paint. It's as good as I can do.
What year lightning valance? I like that a lot.

It's a cheapie repop for like 93-96 first gen lightning. It just gets a bunch of holes put in the bumper. The top surface us uneven so I have to level it then it'll get painted red to match the truck? Idk the lightnings were color matched bumper. I will have chrome bumper but I still think red valence.

BTW I have been sick for a few days. Test tomorrow and I fully expect that I have covid. Fun fun fun

Well yesterday my fever finally broke. This started dec 11 for me and 7 for the wife. I lost 25lbs and am so weak trips to restroom are a trek that has to have a rest period before the return trip. I didn't eat for 11 days. Now I just have to concentrate on getting stronger and eating.
Maybe someday we will get this stupid truck done..

That's where I'm at. No use in stressing about it that's for sure. I have to get back to work.
