So I've read/skimmed this thread. I don't mean to alarm you, but I think you may be insane. Have you ever been tested?

Oh and when's the wedding? How will the truck be used? Inquiring minds want to know.

Carry on!

I thought the same thing, wish I had a project that my wedding happening hinged upon it's completion. "Sorry baby, I know it's been a decade but I'm almost done".

Nope. Other life issues came up. Getting the 96 all good to keep as a dd. And other things with the house. Progress is happening just very slow right now
