Thumper Weekend?
We are needing to get Thumper in shape so we can move it before Dan gets involved in his Christmas Gig.
I think it needs the tranny mounted, and the steering installed. I am still not sure about the front sheetmetal.
Would it be possible to work on it this weekend?

This doesn't work for me. I have to work for at least part of the weekend, (Sunday) and probably Saturday as well, though I plan to free up little time for Mike when he comes by. The truck is still outside, in a spot where it's not too easy to work on it. When we can get a weekend to do so I'll have to load it up on a trailer and take it to work so we can work on it in my boss's shop.
Next weekend (20th/21st) might be do-able for me but I'm not sure yet. I'll keep you posted.

Nothing's been said to me lately about getting it out of there, but I'm sure he'll get a wild hair and drop it on me one day soon. And once I pull it out of there, I don't plan on taking it back. I'll leave it on the trailer and take it up to my brother-in-law's place or something...I'll figure it out.

Cool, I didn't know what tranny was in it before, so we can at least use the center portion of the X-member and drop as we see fit.
I gotta get me another bandsaw someday, the chop saw is good, but doesn't compare to a bandsaw for even and repeatable cuts.
Plus, there's a lot less mess with a bandsaw. You know, my Dad had one for 10-12 years, big sucker and we hardley ever used it...ended up making a castered frame so we could keep rolling it out of the way.
