Your truck is looking great, my shop is 14 by 18 but it is heated, so I can spend my time in a t shirt

My son offered to help finish my truck in april march, so it will be headed your way

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

I find it hard to believe you haven't made any new progress. What's up?

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

sorry for not updating, but just enjoying life. this is my off season, where I catch up on my other projects. Did get to drive the shifter cart for a while, it's a blast.

doing alot of road trips, just got back from Sturbridge flea market, lots of cool stuff up there, picked up some automobilea.

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

That's not a good excuse Jim. Those of us without skills need our regular dose of progress.

J/K. Enjoy your off season.
