Evening Rick! Had a good day today. Harley and I got three walls painted with the final coat today. Now we just need to finish one more wall and the ceiling. Getting closer...

Afternoon Folks!
Spent the day truck shopping with ma. Parents are gonna buy a new truck, so we went and test drove a Ram 3500 and a chubby 3500. She like the dudge better, which is a victory for me as she initially wanted a chubby.
I will say this, I feel bad for chubby owners. The salesguy was an a-hole for the chubby, test drove the top of the line package, even though she said that not what she wanted, things were falling apart in it.... back seats has stiching coming undone, plastic pieces coming off, truck had 7 miles on it........
dudge was an awesome experience, super friendly, laid back, looked at exactly what she wanted, way better constructed, quieter, more user friendly, etc etc.

Evening Don and Dustin!
That doesn't sound good for the competition, seven miles and is already falling apart.

Evening John. Weather was a little crappy here today. Mostly light drizzle and a few sun breaks. Next 5 days it's supposed to be in the lower 70's and sunny. We'll be back on the mess hall tearing it down some more, for the next week. We were glad we could get some progress made on the paint booth.

Probably not for another month. We still have to finish half of the last wall and still sand the ceiling. We only work on it when Mikey comes up, and he can only come up 6-8 days/month. I used a high gloss bright white porch and deck enamel for the final finish and it is very smooth and shiny!

Well I messed with the 78 today. Still having an issue with it loading up. if you get on it is misses, well idle rough and maybe try to die. I know it has to be a carb thing and timing too. Getting a timing light from dad tomorrow. But there are no marks on the pully! Ugh! Just want to be able to drive it again.
