Didn't make my deadline.. *bodywork pics*
So I set a deadline to have my cab painted by the end of September .. and well. I didnt make it .. but I dont mind I have another project I am now working on:

his name is Jackson:


He came a few days earlier (our first baby) and he already told me he likes hot rods and old trucks. Yes, I speak baby.


He also told me that I am not too shaby on body work, but I still have a ways to go:






Thanks for reading,

Ben

Seems like you started on the baby project about nine months ago Now the real work is going to start, you've just got yourself into an 18+ year project. Congrats.

congratulations. He should be able to earn his keep in a couple of years fetching those tools that fall under the truck. Looks like you've got two fun projects there.
