As long as I can get it blasted the paint shouldn't take too long, but now that it looks like a truck I hate pulling it apart.

John. I'd like to copy your seat base design. Could you please send me the dimentions you used? I won't be putting drawer's in the base's. I like the idea of the 1 piece frame and center consol. I'm taking the night off. Dawn & I just got back from Canadian Tire. I ran out of 400 grit paper and tac cloth. I was just at the body shop suppy house yesterday and forgot to buy some. I also forgot seam sealer, and CTC doesn't sell it. I'm a little behind, but still on target to get the engine in this weekend. I sprayed the one brake lever you gave me with liquid wrench, and it works like a darn. Thanks. Going for a shower then relax the rest of the night.

Hope every has great weekend plans, hope you get your motor in Gerry!!

If it stays this nice and sunny here we may head to an out of town car show tonight.
Good luck with your engine in this weekend Grant.
Hopefully Windows 10 isn`t a nightmare John, hopefully Gerry is right and it certainly has to be better than what I have now.
French Toast is yummy!

Afternoon boys. Little cool out there today, but pleasant. Went to the auction to see how my tractors sold. True to my usual fashion, lost money on them. Some people have that horseshoe up their bums and can pull a profit out of a stump. I end up busting my *** for every penny

Guess I'll be leaving my job shortly. Boss told me yesterday that he doesn't want the company truck going home any more. Says money is tight and he can't afford it. Well...if he can't afford to keep his agreements, he can't afford to keep me. Funny thing is, they have went on probably 6 vacations since I started with them in January. Probably head out on my own again.

Have a great afternoon guys!!

Hey Gerry...I'd hire me too

I had a great afternoon. One of the guys from work, the guy that may be jumping ship with me, came out and we went gopher hunting. 2 for me, 1 for him, lots of misses for us both It was lots of fun though, and that's all that matters.

Good evening folks.
So far I can`t say if Windows 10 is any faster or not Gerry, still figuring it out but it seems ok.
Bummer you lost money on these tractors Sherm, hopefully it wasn`t enough to worry about. That`s the kind of luck I have too.
Sometime on Monday my white 2015 Mustang GT, 5.0/6 speed, should be ready for pick.
