One Step Closer

See what I did last weekend...hope it still works when I put it back in the truck.
It was workin fine when I parked the truck several (24)years ago. No laughing.. ..at least it will be nice and clean when I pull it back out and take it to the repair shop.


Before:

After:

Cleaning on the Engine compartment this week...This truck is gonna weigh 500 lbs less when all the dirt is gone. Still waiting on the engine work to be finished.

I always enjoy making something that looks horrible like new again. A lot of satisfaction in that, eh?
