Evening All!
I changed my mind and got all the body work done on the Chevy so I can shoot the whole truck tomorrow. I just have to lay some primer, do a little surface prep, then mask it off and go.
Dave, when your doctor said take it easy and stay home, I'm fairly confident he did NOT mean for you to trim trees all afternoon.
Chip. I'm not going to own A Wild Hair. I'm going to own THE Wild Hair.
It doesn't look like this anymore, but a complete restoration is in the near future.

I lazed (rested) around the house the rest of the day until the kids came home from school. Then we went out and moved a few things around so I'd have a spot to park it.
The only thing left to do is change out the 2" hitch ball for a 2 5/6".

We have an '06 Zinger and the floor plan is almost identical. Our bathroom is on the opposite side, but other than that, it's the same. ...of course we have the older style fabrics and counters and what-not. We love ours. You'll love it, I'm sure. Congrats!

Thanks. We weren't planning on buying one until the spring, but the wife fell in love with the floor plan and it was on sale so we wound up getting it. Can't wait to get it home and start adding the little things that will make it ours. Camping will probably start in March sometime depending on the weather.

That's when we start. Indian point is one of the only ones open that early. April is pretty much booked up with monster truck stuff, but I can picture the summer being a very busy camping season.

Good Morning Everybody!
Yup. Sure is, Curt. '91 Chevy. Blown big block Chevy in it, too. I know it's not a Ford, but it's another chance to bring back a piece of monster truck history.
There should be some paint going down on the Chevy today. Hopefully, I can get it done before it gets too cold. I have a crush car to pick up tomorrow at some point.

Rich. Yeah, I have a stack inside the shop I put in there yesterday. Gotta keep these old bones warm. You need to stay warm, too. I don't think I'd make it if I had to work outside again.
