Then it wouldn't be my toy truck any more.
Besides, who said I was 'normal'
a gal named Abby 
The van, was a compromise, I needed that body style for dragging along my tools and stuff while working aviation contract jobs.
I didn't want the larger box bodies, as they were too big for my needs and a hog on fuel for an everyday driver.
Because I bought the Demo, as that was the quickest and least expensive way to get the diesel I had to accept the fact that it was equipped with the Plasboard floor.
At the time I didn't suspect that my tool box was that heavy and just kept an eye on the flooring.
After a few weeks of the tool box sitting in one spot (no work) I noticed the floor was caving in.
So just like beefing up our engines and transmissions, I'm going to beef up my floor.
I wonder if that tool box would have dished a metal floor in a 'regular' van or pickup truck?

Jim:
I haven't been to the Paradise Grill.
It's got a big parking lot which would be good for me.
What time would be good for you?

Good night everyone.
I'll see Jim at the Crab Shell restaurant at noon tomorrow.
I'll chat again with everyone here tomorrow evening.
At this time I believe anyone who intends to go to the March GTG, be there for when the doors open.

i hope nobody is working on a roof today...pretty windy!
pete - black and green is an awesome look, makes me want to go sledding (arctic cat). the only issue is that im trying to keep brighter colors on the tins because i want to be seen. also, black is overplayed on bikes.
i bought 2 - 50 cal. ammo cans on ebay for $8, im waiting for them to show up. one is going to house the battery and electronics, the other will be a "saddle bag".
i recieved my resistors in the mail yesterday...so maybe if i have time ill crack open my IDM and mod it!
jim and dave...ill have a cheeseburger and fries, you can drop it off at work.

Jim and I had a nice lunch at the Crab Shell in Stamford.
Your post was too late for me to give it consideration, and besides I don't know where you work
I saw Jim's Co-pilot from a distance, but didn't take time to pet the doggie, there is always next month then.
Most of our time was spent relaxing in the restaurant and enjoying our seafood.
And then a somewhat hurried look over of my van before I had to
leave for work.

If you want to be bright you could always go with bright green tins and a black frame.
