up and goin' again

welp here's a couple of pics of her all cleaned up and we've been driving her and joy riding for a bout a week now . me and the new assistant { my wife and she has been really helpful and into it , why i dunno dont care it's been nice !} have been continually finding things that still need to be attended to , but they are gonna have to wait their turn in line as the resources permit . been nice to have her back though and drive a real vehicle , in my opinion , again . and yes i did the redneck bed floor again osb i had laying 'round , although it's only for a bit , as we are gonna go get some wood and find something for the metal runners and try and make it look good in a week or so . and yes another redneck lo-buck item , spray paint was used as i dont have the time neccessary , nor the inclination to rip her completely apart and do it right at present ........ so chastise me and poke fun of me but i am driving mine !!!!!!!!!LOL!!!!!!!!!!Name:  dcp_3071.jpg
